Marketing News: The next stage in professionalising Beauty, Nail, Health and Skin Care is upon us.

Our organisation, the Services SETA has been hard-at-work creating a "University of Work" model for our 37 Industries, where Beauty, Nail, Health and Skin Care is one of those Industries we are responsible for. The principle is simple, namely that if an individual has worked hard enough to achieve a qualification at NQF 4, 5 or 6 they should be treated with the respect they deserve instead of being marginalised by a bunch of academics who have never worked a day in their lives and who have managed to monopolise the world of Degree's and Post-Graduate Degree's to the extent that working people are treated as inferior to those who leave school and immediately register for Degree's and then Post-Graduate qualifications such as Masters and PhD's. The World of Work, our world is saying NO. We are giving notice of our intention to take back the terms "Under-Graduate Degree, Masters Degree and PhD" and put those instruments of recognition back in the hands of civil society where they be

Marketing News: Charities need to be bolder and braver online : a comment piece from Elly Woolston, MD at charity direct marketing specialist DMS

The maturing of the online space has meant that we are increasingly finding comfort in tried and tested methods, rolled out time and time again. This often results in multiple brands using similar approaches to fish in the same shrinking ponds, and this should be a cause for real concern. For charities this is especially concerning. As a sector, we have not on the whole been at the forefront of digital innovation although we have now embraced the breadth of opportunities the online world presents. However, for those charities not currently embracing bold and brave digital marketing, capturing the hearts and minds of the increasingly astute, demanding donors will be difficult. This would be a sad development for the charity sector, especially as it has been built on the lessons that consumer brands are only just getting their heads around.
