<p>Earlier this year we launched our <a title="HRO’C Web site" href="/pages/">new website</a>. With updated web standards alongside some of the latest web functionality and technologies that we have been building into our clients’ sites for some time, this new site offers a significantly improved experience. In fact, it has been a breath of fresh air not only for HRO’C as an agency, but for our clients too.<br />
<span id="more-9"></span><br />
And now we’re taking things a step further with the launch of our new blog. We’ve taken our time with this because we wanted to make sure we got it absolutely right.</p>
<p>Moreover, although it’s a first for HRO’C as a company, a number of us have been blogging for some time, so we are not without experience. David North, Head of Technology, and I (Kevin Rapley, Interface Developer) have been active on the Birmingham social media scene since its conception, attending blogging meetings and engaging through commentary on blogs and conversations on <a title="Twitter" href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a title="Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com" target="_blank">Flickr</a> and various other platforms.</p>
<p>Social media, for a good while now, has been a proven advancement not only in keeping current on a topic and documenting experiences and news in a particular field, but also as a way of engaging with web visitors and customers. We have been showing our clients just how this power can be harnessed. Most notably, with <a title="Roundup Weed Killer" href="/dyna/news/b51a0a30-d2fb-4605-ad5d-d38120a5/b51a0a30-d2fb-4605-ad5d-d38120a5.aspx">best selling weedkiller brand, Roundup</a>.</p>
<p>So, this is the HRO’C Blog. Practicing what we preach. We will be blogging here about our own experiences, what’s new at HRO’C, some in depth knowledge of how we bring value to our clients and some wider discussions on the marketing industry as a whole. We will be reactive, subjective and honest. We hope that you will keep the conversation going with us.<br />
