Graham Lee wins “Young Achiever Award” at the Corp Comms Awards 2009


We were very pleased to share with you that in 2009 our very own Graham Lee, Chief Executive, won the award “Young Achiever Award” at the Corp Comms Awards.

Corp Comms Awards

Corp Comms Awards 2009

To support this great accolade the event organisers and judges offered a great caption surrounding his achievement’s which we’d like to share:

‘Wow!’ was the judges’ consensus response to Lee, 29, who they said ‘stood out from the crowd’. Having started as an Account Executive at Cohn & Wolfe, Lee established his own agency, Onlinefire, which offered a digital media service that complemented existing PR activity and integrated with broader marketing initiatives. His client list included Virgin Mobile, V Festival and BBC, for whom Lee created the ‘5 Live Football Player‘ widget, which was downloaded more than 1.5 million times and bought 500,000 unique users to the BBC Radio 5 Live’s website.

Last year, Lee negotiated the sale of Onlinefire to Eulogy!. He has since launched Social Media Library, a Firebrand service, which is the UK’s only database of blogs, forums, websites & podcasts. Clients include major brand Disney, Sony and Unilever, and agencies such as Fleishman Hillard and Hill & Knownlton. Firebrand Chairman, Adrian Brady, described Lee’s contribution to the industry as ‘immense’, adding: ‘His innovation continues apace with the launch of training consultancy, Social Media Academy.’ The judges agreed, describing Lee as ‘an excellent ambassador for creativity and innovation’.

Conservative blogs lead online


The New Statesman has today covered the release of our Politics Online report, to coincide with the launch of Social Media Affairs.

The report provides a full breakdown of how the major political parties are faring in the world of social media. Alasdair Campbell has worked with us to offer his views, which are featured in a foreword at the start of the report.

The full report can be downloaded on the Social Media Affairs site.

Key findings from the report include:

  • Nearly one fifth (19%) of political bloggers are aligned with the Conservative Party, with Labour and the Liberal Democrats at 16% each respectively
  • Adoption of social media amongst Conservative MPs (19%) stronger than Labour (14%)
  • Labour leads significantly on European level, however, with 16% of its MEPs active in social media, in comparison to the Conservatives’ 4%
  • All political parties’ Parliamentary Candidates (PPCs) have an exceptionally low presence in social media (Labour: 1%; Conservatives: 2%; Liberal Democrats: 1%)

The report fully details how political blogging is being adopted across the UK, with detailed charts visually highlighting where activity is taking place:

Social Media Affairs has been designed to provide political and public affairs professionals with up-to-date information on the most influential UK political bloggers. Closely broken down by political stance, Social Media Affairs identifies who is driving political comment and debate online.
