Their pitch: “Google don’t have a monopoly on groundbreaking approaches to online advertising. Indeed new techniques Techlightenment have pioneered are trumping Google in terms of cost per click (CPC), conversion rates and early stage reach.”

My response: “I like the idea that it combines the best of the ‘longtail’ concept with the best of mass marketing – aggregating small targeted audiences into a large more highly receptive audience (in fact I’ll use that line in my blog!)”.

Get Bettr at BETT

Thanks to John at the Tweet festival meeting last night in Bristol for this DEMOS-led unconference event for BETT today: “Bettr is an unconference for education focused start-ups and other interested people that is taking place during BETT week in London on the 14th January. In traditional unconference style there is no agenda beyond the education theme and the hope that we can all learn from each other.”

The event is totally free but limited to 60 places.
