As Marketing and Communications Manager of the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton I have responsibility for all corporate marketing communications, internal and external communications, public relations and media liaison. Working in one of the world's leading computer science research centres provides many opportunities for innovative use of the Web, and I was delighted that we were the first UK academic institution to launch its own video podcasting news service in March 2006. Our video podcasts are a regular feature of our communications programme and, along with our student blogs, allow visitors to our site to gain a really useful insight into the life of the School and its associated research centres. My roles in ECS encompass all academic and research activities taking place in the School and I have been providing communications and marketing for Web Science since 2006.
