Successful growth of the brain, body, and intellect. Playing promotes brain development and helps lay the neural grid for a successful mind through repetitive play actions that reinforce that grid.

Bigmouthmedia is to warn Britain’s financial services sector that the industry must adapt to a rapidly changing online marketplace or suffer far-reaching consequences.
Bigmouthmedia senior finance strategist Chris Cathcart will tell an audience of senior executives at the second annual bigmouthmedia Finance Summit next month that the online revolution is creating a new set of challenges which the industry must either meet head-on or risk losing ground to a raft of new players offering personal finance products. Revealing the results of a brand new survey into the sector’s approach to selling savings and insurance via digital channels, Cathcart will outline a shifting landscape to which businesses must adapt or face potentially far-reaching consequences.
Even as most of the sector is beginning to dust itself off and recover from the effects of a disastrous few years, a new challenge is presenting itself that could have far-reaching consequences. Consumers are deeply suspicious of the industry as a whole, and if the UK’s finance organisations are to recover their reputation for probity and trustworthiness they are going to have to radically alter their approach to selling products online said Cathcart.
With raft of new brands emerging to challenge existing players for consumers’ business, the internet is poised to become a key battleground in the finance sector’s fight for the future
Cathcart will be joined by a panel of industry-leading online finance experts speaking on a range of themes including the development and history of online financial marketing and the issues surrounding best-practice in selling savings products via digital channels.
Taking the podium at the bigmouthmedia Financial Summit will be Thisismoney.co.uk editor Andrew Oxlade and Colin Tomkinson, head of digital marketing at Barclaycard. Google senior head of financial services Ian Morgan and MoneyDashboard.com CEO Gavin Littlejohn will also lead sessions.
Keynote speaker Andrew Oxlade will draw upon years of experience in financial journalism to identify the key winners and losers of the financial crisis, assessing the degree to which the financial crisis has impacted upon consumers’ trust of financial brands and that has altered their decision making. In what promises to be an incisive session he will demonstrate who benefited and who didn’t, who played it right and who played it wrong.
The finance sector might prefer to imagine that it’s back to business as usual, but a combination of economic crisis and accelerating technology has changed the shape of the industry forever. We’ll be bringing together some of the business’ biggest hitters to discuss exactly what’s ahead and how to prepare for it added Cathcart.
The bigmouthmedia Finance Summit takes place in London on May 26th 2010 and is a free event aimed at senior marketing and ecommerce executives. Places are limited, but those wishing to attend can register at http://www.bigmouthmedia.com/signup for an invitation.

British Airways has launched its biggest-ever marketing campaign for Caribbean destinations. The airline, which flies to more Caribbean islands than any other carrier from the UK, is running the month-long ad push in collaboration with local tourist boards, including Barbados and St Lucia.
Many hotels across 14 different Caribbean destinations are included in the promotion with up to 25% off from good value lead in properties through to five star resorts. The offers are based on various departures from May 15, 2010 through to March 31, 2011 and must be booked by May 31, 2010.
The marketing campaign is designed to stimulate direct bookings via ba.com and promote BA’s package holiday offers, which are among the best value deals in the market. The campaign will highlight holiday prices for 14 Caribbean destinations, featuring seven-night breaks in 3, 4 and 5-star hotels on an AO (accommodation only) or AI (all inclusive) basis.
The advertising kicked off on 29 April with a banner ad on ba.com’s homepage and on ba.com/Caribbean – the campaign’s dedicated splashpage. Press advertising will start in high-circulation dailies such as the Daily Mail, The Sun, and Metro from Monday 3 May and continue throughout the duration of the campaign, which ends 31 May 2010. The holiday deals will also be promoted online with banners on high-hit sites such as Yahoo, CNN and Facebook.
Travellers to BA terminals at Heathrow and Gatwick will be targeted with train and Tube card panels, and digital escalator panels and digital six-sheet stands on the Underground.
