Fly To The Past – video interviews
Last summer (August 2011) we helped the Fly To The Past event organiser use social media to maximise the numbers of people attending the airshow/family fun day at Oxford Airport. In the end over 10,000 people attended. It was so successful that another event has been planned for 2012 – but this time over two days on September 1st and 2nd.
Before last years event we are able to do a number of phone interviews with the organisers, members of the Oxford Airport team, aircraft pilots and owners as well as a number of the ground exhibitors. You can listen to those interviews at this blog post.
We were also asked to film the event on the day. We are able to meet many of the people we had spoken to over the phone and others besides. We were asked to make the interviews available and also create a short video recording what had happened on the day and use it to help promote this years event. This is the video above. It is also on YouTube and on the FlyToThePast blog site together with all the video interviews we recorded on the day.
The integrated use of audio podcasts, Twitter, blogging and Facebook and now these online and YouTube videos are a great example of how social media can help make an event successful and promote follow up events cost effectively.

OxFocus Business Leaders Networking – October 2011 speaker – VP Harley-Davidson
We have been interviewing speakers at the OxFocus business leaders networking meeting for a while now.
The October OxFocus speaker is Rob Lindley, VP and MD of Harley-Davidson, European, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). I got to meet Rob at their Oxford Science Park offices. The reception area, meeting rooms, hallways and walls either have images of motor bikes or the bikes themselves. (See pictures here). To support the branding impact most employees I saw had a working ‘uniform’ of branded clothing.
In my interview with him (on the OxFocus site) Rob talked about his own background in the motor car industry and how despite the recession they are growing in the EMEA region. He talked at length about the reasons for the continued strong financial performance.
Rob will be discussing the reasons for the continued strong performance at the October OxFocus meeting.
