Exactly 12 months ago to the day, EML Wildfire was born.
A merger of two of the UK’s leading technology PR agencies and, like any merger, there were risks. Would we get on? Would there be enough chairs? How would our clients and the industry react?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I can confidently say it is the best decision we ever made. The last year has been a fantastic one for the merged company on all fronts as you will see from the highlights below.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has made EML Wildfire a success and supported us.
Look out for picture of our celebrations on Facebook!

This month we’re talking to Gill Anderson, Editor of Total Lighting the voice of the UK lighting industry. Here she talks about the future of the humble LED and her plans to inspire the next generation of lighting designers.
1. Describe your typical working day.
Since the magazine moved to London earlier this year, a typical working day now starts very differently from the mad panic of de-icing for an early morning 120-mile round trip to the office I’d done for the past 20 years. All that fuel!
These days I still get up pre-dawn, but the first job of the day is a walk through the woods with the magazine’s resident news hound. We’re lucky to live right on the coast, so if the weather’s good, the dog has a swim, but if it’s cold or wet, it’s a mad dash back, chickens fed and the eggs collected.
Once that’s accomplished, I head to the office with my early cuppa ‘just to see if anything important came in from the newswires’, and usually end up immersed in internet newsgathering.…

Research conducted by Nielsen has found that women are substantially more likely to engage with social media and produce their own online content than men. The report shows that women are 8% more likely than the average user to update a personal blog, and 18% more likely to engage with a brand on sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
It’s not the first time that women have led in the social stakes. It was recently revealed that 80% of Pinterest users are female. However, there is an argument to suggest more emphasis has been placed on other demographic indicators when analysing online communities. E.g. what age or socio-economic groups are engaging with social media?
For a tech PR agency with such a keen interest in social media, this provides an interesting insight for many of our clients who are interested to learn more about their own online communities. It’s vital to know who is talking about a brand and consider why that may be.…

Internet giant Google announced the launch of a new consumer service today allowing users to store and access their documents from anywhere using cloud-based technology.
Despite a late arrival to the cloud hosting party, Google Drive has already had cloud-based storage rivals (such as Dropbox and Skydrive) ensuring their tech PR agencies are pushing the message that there are other, equally useful services available.
Smoke clouds & disk mirrors
Rumours of Google Drive have been floating around the interwebs since February when a Geekwire reader claimed Google Drive had been prematurely enabled on his account. Then another glimpse of the logo was caught during a Google Android developer Hangout last Friday.
Finally the release of Drive was confirmed when Google updated its support pages for Google Documents to include information on how users could send their documents to their Google Drive. Since then the blogosphere has been exploding with posts speculating about the benefits Google Drive.…
