up for the cup

by Darren Caveney

Thank you.

Thank you for the support and encouragement that so many of you have given to comms2point0 these past six months. It makes all of those early morning, coffee-fuelled get-ups totally worthwhile.

And an extra special thank you to all those good people – over 40 of you – who have written posts, shared experiences and shaped case studies for our site.

These posts really do make the difference and add to all of our ongoing learnings, which was one of the main reason Dan and I began comms2point0, whilst sat watching a cricket match at a sun-kissed Edgbaston and talking nonsense one special Friday afternoon.

And so we thought that it was about time that we awarded a very prestigious prize for the most read post each month – the comms2point0 cup.

Carefully crafted from the finest grade Chinese plastic, these cups can retail for as much as a whole quid. 

So, without further ado the top five posts for June, in reverse order, are...

Fifth: ‘The next generation of PR people' by Jarrod Williams

Fourth: ‘25 things to learn from LGComms Academy: Day 3’ by Dave Musson

Third: ‘24 more pearls of wisdom from LGComms Academy: Day 2’ by Dan Slee

Second: ‘18 pearls of wisdom from LGComms Academy: Day 1’ by Dan Slee

And finally, this month’s most read post is...

‘Being a social media officer’ by Natalie Luckham. A big hat tip to you Nat.

We’ll also be awarding retrospective cups to Steve Finegan, who's post ‘why yammering makes good business sense’ topped the charts for two consecutive months, and to South Lanarkshire’s finest, Carolyne Mitchell, who’s post 'Trust me, I'm a follower' is still our all-time most read post.

We salute you all.
