this is a bit like asking in 1994/5 which companies, UK or otherwise, have a website. Once anything, blogsite or whatever becomes more accepted more companies will have them as consumers get to expect them. Right now its just too early a point to raise.

In addition to external facing blogs, it’ll be interesting to see how large organisations use the social media for internal communications purposes!

It’s particularly interesting to me personally as that’s where i’m finding the new revenue streams are coming from. Was lucky enough to get a ‘paid experiment’ with the British Council back in April covering one of their project events (http://activate.typepad.com/reachout). That lesson taught me there’s potential in offering a ‘managed service’ for specific applications.

Yes, the barriers to entry with blogging are low (technically), but as it matures as a medium for organisations, will in-house teams need support in whatever form that takes? I suspect so.

All the best,

Matt

Our blog has been a key part of our marketing since launching - it’s helped establish our credentials and evidence our thinking. Its hard to understand why agencies wouldn’t blog.
