Squiz and Global PR leaders Text 100 Publish New White Paper: 'Communications 2.0'

Squiz, in partnership with leading global PR agency Text 100, today announced the availability of a new co-authored white paper entitled 'Communications 2.0: Beta is Better.' See: http://www.squiz.co.uk/resources/white_papers.

The paper focuses on the challenges and opportunities offered by 'Web 2.0' for professional marketeers and communicators, and offers some best practise advice on how to communicate more effectively on the web using the best of what '2.0' has to offer.

Insights include:

- How to leverage your web content to communicate with more audiences
- How to successfully deploy new web communications technologies
- How to engage with your key audiences on the web
- How to build new web services more cost effectively through the use of open source software
- How to integrate web thinking within your PR machine

Says co-author and Squiz Director, Roger Warner: "This new paper has been written for those companies who are having a tough time figuring out how to best use the web to communicate today. So much is happening in this field right now - you can't read the news without being told of a new 'Web 2.0' innovation that's going to change the world - and so we've tried to cut through some of the hoopla to suggest sensible ways of using new technologies to talk to new audiences. The good news is that it's not rocket science and it shouldn't cost and arm and a leg. The bad news is that user expectations are high and so companies need to start doing this stuff now, or their customers will go elsewhere!"

Says co-author and Text 100 UK Managing Director, Nick Giles: "We're already helping many of our clients put in to practise a lot of the stuff that we've written about here. It's encouraging to see big brands make the move to communicate online through newer channels such as blogs and Second Life, but there's still room to do more. This new paper helps to put the brave new world of 'Web 2.0' into focus for professional communicators and suggest new ways in which companies can exploit the web in order to get closer to their customers."
