The holiday season is in fully swing, a time to unwind, relax and switch off from everyday life. Unlike my colleague, for me, as a gadget-obsessed technology PR that means leaving my beloved smart devices behind and taking a break from anything technical not only to clear my mind but mainly to prove to my husband that I can actually survive a whole week without Facebook, Twitter and various tacky online news sites.

However, according to a recent report in The Daily Telegraph it would seem that I’m in the minority, with 90 per cent of British holidaymakers now spending up to four hours a day on their smart phones, tablets and other devices. The survey from lastminute.com also revealed that 27 per cent refuse to stay in hotels that don’t offer free WiFi.

So perhaps the launch of the world’s first Twitter hotel – @SolWaveHouse isn’t such a crazy idea after all.  To be found on the beach in Magaluf, Majorca, the hotel features a range of ‘twitter-themed rooms’ and offers social media aficionados check-ins, room service and special offers via hash tags.

On arrival, guests are greeted by an online concierge and are given access to an exclusive Twitter app which invites them to interact with and get to know the other guests.  Drinks and food can be ordered as you relax by the pool simply by tweeting your order.

I think it’s an inspired idea and using Twitter in a really innovative way and I love the idea of being able to order a drink without having to lift a foot off my sun lounger! Anyone fancy a trip to Magaluf?

A few weeks ago, the entire Skout team visited the beautiful and historic city of Palma, Majorca for our annual kick off event. It’s been a long time in the planning (pre-pandemic to be precise) and the first time we’ve been abroad for a kick off to the new financial year. We’ve always found kick off meetings a great way...

TikTok is increasingly being used as a platform for B2B companies to implement their marketing strategy, aiding in brand exposure, lead generation and profile building. But, where does paid TikTok advertising come into play? Is it an effective tool to engage with B2B audiences, or is the ROI just not worth it?  If you’re the least bit social media savvy,...

As a smaller business, it can be hard to know where to start when it comes to sustainability. Sure, we all do our best to use the right recycling bin at home, and bring our re-usable coffee cups to work. But with serious pressures now mounting from the government – which pledged to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 –...

Another week, another round of mass layoffs in the tech sector. With Amazon (AWS) and Meta cutting thousands of jobs, and further layoffs at Salesforce and of course Twitter, it has felt a bit like the tech world has been imploding of late. This is of course concerning for us working in B2B tech PR, but more importantly for the...
