Prezi from start to finish - a complete set of guides

I've written a lot about Prezi over the last couple of years, so I decided to bring all the guides together in one post, with a bit of guidance as to which ones are useful in which situation. Guidance about guides! That's meta, man. :)

Prezi can be a really useful marketing tool; every presentation you give can be a marketing opportunity, and you can also embed Prezis designed entirely for your website, giving you some instant dynamic content and your users something visually arresting to interact with.

LIBER Interview: expert tips for marketing your library

Sometimes a really exciting opportunity comes along, and for work or family reasons you just can't take it. Presenting at the LIBER (Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche - Association of European Research Libraries)'s 42nd annual conference in Munich this month was one such, but thanks to Izaskun Lacunza and Friedel Grant at LIBER, I've been able to contribute to a marketing workshop discussion anyway via an interview. 

You can read the interview here - there's some really insightful questions, about measuring impact, marketing strategy, marketing with video and so on. 

Thanks to them for the opportunity, and sorry I can't be in Munich!

Rebranding article for InfoToday
