Ecom Recruitment Blog

By Stephen Pink - Head of Client Services & PR Recruitment

Digital PR is on the increase!! And we at Ecom are enjoying the ride on the Digital PR train which is building up a lot of speed at the moment.

We've noticed a huge increase in the use of digital technology in PR campaigns.

Traditional PR agencies adapting to the changing market & opportunities opened up by using the magic of the internet to extend the reach of traditional PR campaigns.

The boom in the use of Social Media over the last couple of years is a key driver behind this increase in Digital PR. Many clients are creating Facebook and Twitter campaigns to get their brands more publicity & positive word of mouth influence.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) within the PR world has also increased enormously. A lot of PR agencies see SEO as a very important tool and are investing more in search to increase the amount of traffic coming through to their client sites. More hits, means more publicity!!

As the leader in Digital Recruitment ECOM is perfectly placed to help you find new talent for your Digital PR teams & for those of you looking for a new job we can put you in touch with the best agencies out there who are really exploiting the power of Digital & Social Media.

You can follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn & by using our iphone app.

ECOM Netball

Posted by Caroline Pearce

The premier league clubs may have been splashing the cash to secure world class strikers at the close of the transfer window yesterday, but ECOM need not reach into their pockets to help out their dazzling netball team! Morgane Colclough is already on the payroll and a goal scoring machine!

Game 3 in the West London netball league and ECOM stormed to an almost embarrassing victory of 44-4! This puts us second in the league with everything to play for with season stats of two wins and a questionable loss due the culmination of unfortunate events:
1) Superstar Morgane forgetting her kit leaving ECOM down to 6 players.
2) Laura landing awkwardly on her ankle leaving ECOM down to 5 players! 3) The court being of a reduced size with child sized posts.
4) The normal rules of netball being thrown out the window!

We may work on separate teams during the day but ECOM spirit prevails when the girls hit the court! With a few new faces in the office what better way to bond than a casual game of netball on a Monday evening to get the competitive juices flowing! And boy do they get flowing, after all we are recruiters and we like to win!!! With ‘energizer bunny ‘Charlene (Tech) zipping round the court and helping out the cleaners with sweeping dives across the floor, we appear to have left most of our opposition seeing stars, with a few feisty collisions but inspiring interceptions all the same!

Undoubtedly ECOM have been dominating the Tuesday morning write ups with Laura’s (Creative) double appearance in the weeks dream team and Paula (PM/IA) attracting attention with her silky footwork and passing. New girl Kate (Client Services) has definitely proved her place in the ECOM team reaching second spot in the highest goal scorer competition; if only netball goals earnt you commission! Finally a special mention to our ‘out of position’ defence who managed to keep a clean sheet up until the 3rd quarter of the last game! In the end we were just bored and wanted some action our end!!

I will be cheering the girls on from the slopes of Chamonix next week but with the return of Alice (Creative) and Rebecca (client Services) hopefully ECOM can continue their winning streak and challenge top place in the league!
