I’m taking the liberty of making our centennial blog post – whoot! Since we set the blog up a year or so ago, it’s been a great experience for all of us. We’ve had consistently great comments from our clients and readers about how useful our articles are to them and their work, and having to write them has given us all the push to research and think about things we’re passionate about.
Everyone at VGroup now blogs – including those with little writing and/or technical experience – and thus the blog has been an upskilling and team building experience in itself. It’s nice to have something that we all contribute to, and that everyone gets to have their say. (Check out our post on business blogging if you want to know how it could work for you.)
Now that we’ve got the hang of it, we’re looking forward to ramping up our blogging strategy, diversifying the content and just generally blogging more. Sometimes we’re serious and heavyweight, sometimes we’re topical and trivial. But we think our blog is a great way for people to get a sense of what we’re about, and it’s great to be able to have the more knowledge focused posts to distribute when clients need a crash course in something, be it Brand Guidelines, Twitter, or Web Standards, or to distribute a quick collection of a certain kind of work, like branding case studies.
So behold the 100th post – and for a laugh, we thought we’d share this bang-on satire on client-supplier relationships. Watch nightmare clients try to compare fillet steak to a taco, and then ask the chef to show them how they made it so they can “do it in-house” next time! Not everyone is like this of course, but we’ve seen and heard a lot in our times and boy did it make us laugh!
Enjoy – and listen up …
