Honeyweb Staff Introductions: Steven Hamilton
Steven Hamilton (Managing Director of Honeyweb Online Marketing Solutions)
Steven is an ex AFL/SANFL professional footballer, having played for the North Melbourne Kangaroos and the North Adelaide Roosters. He played in the successful North Adelaide premiership team in 1991.
Due to injuries, Steven decided to retire from professional football and concentrate on a career in design, illustration and sales.
It was during this time Steven discovered a little thing called the Internet. Instantly seeing its potential, he quickly joined Global Internet Directories as a sales agent and soon excelled, winning the “Australasian Sales Achievement Award for 1997.”
With Steven’s design background, it soon became apparent the majority of websites were being designed by computer experts and lacked the professional appearance produced in traditional media. It was time for this to change, and Steven most certainly achieved this.
Establishing his first online marketing agency in 1998, and Honeyweb PTY LTD in July 2007, Steven has nearly 20 years' experience developing successful online marketing solutions for well over 500 clients.
Steven's favourite quote: “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.”
Study: Gen Xers Are More Addicted To Social Media Than Millennials
According to a new Nielsen report, when it comes to social media, Gen X (those aged 35-50) appear to have a great addiction to social media than their younger sibling, Gen Y
The study found the Xs spent an average of 6 hours 58 minutes a week on social media networks, compared with the Ys 6 hours 19 minutes.
Neilsen also discovered that Facebook was the most popular social media platform on smartphones with about 178.2 million unique users in September.
Instagram was next with 91.5 million unique users, followed by Twitter, with 82.2 million unique users.
These figures are indicative of how influential social media truly is, which is definitely an advantage for businesses who are attempting to market their brand online.
