Last week, I asked for your help in coming up with a name for a new series I’m starting on the blog. With more than 80 comments (some including multiple suggestions), it was really hard to choose from the very awesome names you came up with.

After a sifting process and a lot of back and forth over the final few, the new series is going to be called Sunday Brunch, as suggested by Phil McDonnell.

The name is the one that sums up the new series perfectly – it’s on a Sunday; each post will be going live at 11.00am (Eastern); and the posts will be more of a nice, relaxed video approach as opposed to the text posts normally found here.

So, as of next Sunday, the new Sunday Brunch will be going live. Answering your questions on everything from marketing, social media, building brand loyalty, etc, I hope it’ll be a nice regular stopover for your blog reading travels.

You can use the form below to send in your questions, and I’ll pick one at the end of the week for the post next Sunday (and so on). And if you have a favourite spot where you go for brunch, use the file upload option to send in a picture of it and I’ll use alongside the post, with full credit to you (thanks for the suggestion, Tim).

Thanks again for all your help, everyone, I really do appreciate it, and cheers for the suggestion, Phil – I’ll be in touch soon for your mailing address to send a little thank you parcel out.

Look forward to seeing your questions!

A lot of social media evangelists and consultants will tell you that “traditional media” is on its way out and is being superseded by social media. They’ll say there’s no room for the old guard with the new arrival.

But you know what? Traditional media has a huge part to play in any social media-led progress. If you want a great example of old guard (video, music, arts centre) combining with the new (bloggers, Twitter, Youtube) just check out this video from my friend Susan Murphy and her brother Michael J. Thompson.

I’m a firm believer that the best results come from mixing what we know and what we learn. Looks like the National Arts Centre in Ottawa has the same idea, and they’re benefiting because of it, as Sue’s video shows.

Still think the only media worth a damn is social media?
