Editor's Notes

  • #6: Meg
  • #7: Youtube is TV for many younger people .... We can all broadcast now
  • #10: Tamsin is checking the Paypal single gift conversions for each page as she has access to more accurate reporting than Mustard (due to the option for users to return to the CIWF website rather than the Mustard PP goal page). So obviously – this may skew the figures a bit! But regardless, B Test is still showing significant increased DD performance than A Test.
  • #12: NickOk, just 3 to go and I think we’re doing ok for time!by now you might be trying to guess what’s coming next and you’ve probably spotted by now that there is a lot of overlap with all these things. That’s because digital, in it’s very nature, is integrated.So number 3 is a natural extension of social media...
