Help us make Biz better for you

Today we've launched our Biz reader survey, to which the first 1000 readers to respond will each receive a one-month subscription to iPad-only daily magazine iMaverick. Read more about the reader research here and take the survey here. We thank you in advance for your time and feedback. On the industry news side: Herman Manson profiles Acceleration Media and Di Charton; intrepid Bizbloggers Karin Botta and Uno de Waal of trigger/isobar blogged voraciously from SxSW last week; and the new Brand South Africa country marketing slogan has been continuing to inspire new comments and opinions. Sparring in the boxing ring we have Chris Vick again, Ferial Haffajee (editor of City Press) and Peter Bruce (editor of Business Day); and Yusuf Abramjee (of Primedia Broadcasting and Lead SA) and Raymond Joseph (journalist, journalism trainer and media consultant). Red Bull also had its wings clipped over its "Jesus" ad; and the fight against the Protection of Information Bill in its current format continues. In terms of new this-and-that, Brendan Cooper is returning as FHM editor; Elton Ollerhead joined Mediamark as MD today; 5FM has announced who is replacing Sasha Martinengo; Good Hope FM has decided not to mess with its lineup much; Grazia South Africa will launch on 18 May; and The Jupiter Drawing Room (Johannesburg) has lost the Edcon Group Cellular TTL account to Promise. Oh, and Brand SA (aka the old International Marketing Council of SA) has a happy new chairperson and deputy, and Port Elizabeth has a new newspaper. Don't forget: winter is coming Simone Puterman (@SimoneBiz) Managing editor PS Welcome to, Bluegrass Digital and Brandsrock, which have just opened press offices on Bizcommunity Marketing & Media South Africa!
