Social networks and global relationships mapped with new site called the Social Media Portal
26 September 2007, London, UK ---- A new social media resource called the Social Media Portal (SMP) (http://www.socialmediaportal.com) is to be released at ad:tech London , 26-27 September 2007.

SMP maps networks and the landscapes they create from around the globe, and is the creation of UK-based media consultancy Elemental (http://www.elementalcomms.co.uk), specialists in integrating traditional and digital marketing, media and PR.

Designed and developed by Australian-based web agency C2 (http://www.c2.net.au ), SMP encompasses the role of social networks, user generated content (UGC), blogs, podcasts, search engines and other technology like instant messenger. SMP's Landscape will continue to grow on a daily basis, as social media companies and blog owners are encouraged to add their sites.

Tim Gibbon, director at Elemental comments, "SMP demonstrates how social networks aren't the new kid on the block, and in fact has been a part of our culture a lot longer than is thought. It highlights the relationships between organisations, business and people within the Landscape and how they intertwine and connect with each other using social media."

SMP launches with a competition, which participants can enter at http://www.socialmediaportal.com/adtech. The SMP Competition will remain open for entrants from around the world until 27 October 2007.

"We created SMP to suit many needs. Marketers and brand owners would like to know where online audiences are and how to engage with them on their own level - and social media sites may be interested in bringing in elements like advertising and promotions that suit their users better. Every day it seems that an infinite number of new hot spots are created as audiences move on to the next and best thing, and this is just one element to the new age of online culture that SMP unearths.

For users, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to find a site that appeals to their own individual style and/or interests and possibly will result in more vertical sites being created. SMP meets these very different needs in a way that is visually interesting and educational," adds Rachel Hawkes, account director at Elemental , who led the development of the SMP.

28 January 2008, London, UK ---- Rachel Hawkes, co-founder and editor of the Social Media Portal (SMP) (http://www.socialmediaportal.com) has been invited to guest speak at Search Engine Strategies (SES) London 2008 (http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/london).

The search marketing conference and expo is to be held from 19-21 February 2008 at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London, UK. The SMP is a product of London media consultancy, Elemental Communications, which launched in September 2007. It’s a news and information portal that maps social networking sites and their owners from around the globe.

Hawkes, also an account director at Elemental will present on 20 February 2008 in the Organic & Beyond Track sessions from 14:00 to 15:00 and will address video and podcast search engine optimisation (SEO).

Presenting alongside her is Amanda Watlington, owner of Searching for Profit and Onil Gunawardana, vice president and general manager advertising at blinkx.

“With over 65,000 videos uploaded daily to YouTube and almost 80,000 podcasts available in iTunes it is becoming increasingly difficult for brands, agencies and marketers to have their content found and consumed”, comments Rachel Hawkes, account director at Elemental.

“Video is an incredibly powerful and informative marketing tool and with the fierce competition between brands and consumers vying to get their content seen and heard - it’s important for those at the ’coal face’ to learn techniques to increase the likelihood of having their video and podcasts seen and heard. We will be discussing our experiences working with video for global social media and viral campaigns that we have managed,” concludes Hawkes.

The sessions will be moderated by Anne Kennedy, managing partner at Beyond Ink.
