During 2011 blog page views across blur Group’s network more than doubled. We know that they’re a sought-out information source for those working in the creative industries, those using them and people looking for that different perspective on new startups, the latest art, marketing must-haves, design desires and a view on the latest trends. At the same time, we saw the numbers on the Creative Services Exchange grow massively as  independents and agencies recognize the value of networking and finding new business through the Exchange.

So it seemed obvious to us, that the time was now ripe to open up our public blogs in keeping with our founding philosophy and invite our creatives on the Exchange to contribute on a regular basis. We’ll still write ourselves, we’ll still have some great guest bloggers, but our regular contributors are a selection of great writers, expert marketers and creative agencies from the Exchange.

They’re going to bring you the latest advice, campaigns they’ve worked on, campaigns they’ve admired, trends, tips and techniques. Opinions, insight and new takes on the industry around us. All designed to help your creative and marketing endeavors and put you at the forefront of the marketing revolution that blur Group’s spearheading.

We’ll be introducing them through this week so be sure to check out all our blogs at blur Marketing, blur Designs, innovatrs and b-uncut. Make sure you leave your comments, tell us what else you’d like to read about, and if you don’t already – follow us on Twitter so that you can always hear about the latest blogs.

blur Group has built its business on social marketing, we’ve led on corporate blogging to underpin that strategy, we’ve redefined crowdsourcing. Enjoy the combination and put time aside each day to read some more!

Look out for blogs from Jo Gifford, Tonya Walker, Philip Morley, Brooke Hart and Paperboat Creative this week.
