There are two areas of interest here for us. Elemental is a media consultancy and we possess brand experience for start-ups, niche firms, SMEs through to large brands / organisations (branding, PR, media relations, marketing, online reputation management).

We also possess many years and global (especially pan-European) experience in social media (dating back before it was called social media) for brands such as NESTA, the adidas group, Reebok International and many more either directly or consulting for large ad networks.  This is in the area of social media marketing, online PR, online and viral marketing et al.

We http://www.elementalcomms.co.uk are also creators of the Social Media Portal (SMP) http://www.socialmediaportal.com, a free resource that maps global social media, networks, UGC and similar.  Anyone with an interest in social media related areas can add Blogs, Communities, Podcasts, etc., that relates to SMP and the space/s we all work in.  You can also add your relevant clients and manage their profile along with them.

In addition to this, you can add social media and related press releases, events, campaigns, research etc., for free and have these picked up by the right news sites and aggregators e.g. Google News, NewsNow and Moreover.
We are interested in learning about the individuals and smaller groups old school or not that are doing cool stuff and we are interested regardless of stature.

There are some changes coming from the SMP soon (some well overdue), so we will keep you updated if you are interested.

You can reach and follow us at http://twitter.com/elementalcomms, http://twitter.com/smponline and the above.

Wandered into this chat thread a little late however would like to add a couple of points

Tempero is a really great agency, got a lot of respect for their work and its not just about the moderating.  They're doing amazing stuff with child safety online, and whilst we are waxing on about social media and its potential - let us not forget how vunerable children can be in this space, they know how to use the technology but they don't always have the experience of knowing good from bad people within this space.. 

And agreed immediate future is right up there as a first rate sm pr agency.Katy is a a very talented, intelligent lady and knows how to structure social media campaigns. I've spoken to her a few times and she's blown me away every time!

Hi! My name is Dani and I'm a 22 year old who has recently plunged into this area of services. 

While I began improving businesses with social networking with the business I currently manage, and spreading my talents through my community's BIA, I was approached by many businesses in the area for a few reasons - most business managers or owners are either too ignorant, scared or simply don't have the time to deal with social networking! 

Since I come from the younger generation that fully comprehends the benefits of social networking, and have learned some of the many loopholes of facebook, twitter and other social networks, my skills have been ideal for companies to invest in. 

I offer start-up packages for businesses, the creation of graphics and content, the updating of content on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, as well as a guarantee in the level of "friends", fans or followers. After consulting with a business, I can target markets they are aiming at tackling, and I break them into social networking with a bang. I also offer social networking Q&A sessions for those businesses who want to have the starting package, and take over afterwards. 

My main objective is to help businesses and owners avoid having to create personal accounts for themselves on these social networking sites, and to avoid the confusion that comes along with running multiple social networking accounts.
