ICM - Leeds Design Agency

Its around this time of year, just before the new financial calendar, that we create a few annual reports for our clients. Every year make it our goal to improve on the previous years’ versions.

Whilst looking around for inspiration I found this cool annual report, done by a guy called Dan Mayer, all about his personal 2009.

Lets face it, you can’t ignore Twitter – its everywhere these days. Rather than me banging-on about how Twitter works or why you should follow a pidgeon, Big Ben or Stephen Fry, I thought I would briefly show you some stats from our website.

In terms of driving traffic back to the ICM website in numbers, Twitter is fairly average, but as the graphic below shows, visitors from Twitter spend more time with us and view more pages (this is a snapshot from a single day):

I guess its because Twitter users are already in the process of ‘reading’ and taking in information.

Every day Twitter is starting to feel like less of a passing craze and is becoming more of a tool, I suppose only time will tell how powerful a tool it may become…
