Following the success of KMP’s Blogging Workshop, inblackandwhite.tv caught up with Craig to bring you an exclusive interview with the man himself! http://www.vimeo.com/2463615 In this video, Craig gives a brief introduction about himself and the work that he does, as well as discussing the purpose of the Blogging Workshops. As this is the second workshop that KMP has hosted, we wanted to find out where Craig’s enthusiasm for blogging stems from and why he sees blogging as such a valuable marketing tool. Craig also discusses the popular social media tool, “twitter” providing his thoughts on the best definition, as well giving his tips on how to find the best people to follow!
