I still remember the days of fax and acetates in the working environment and email was just coming to the fore. In 10 years its use has rocketed to make communication faster and easier on the one hand but overwhelming and pointless on the other. New research from Glasgow & Paisley universities suggest that BritishContinueContinue reading “email hell”

google mother
Mums. Bless them. We love them. And they love the web. Can’t get enough. And you thought it was all the young dudes who made the news. New research from eMarketer tells us 89% use it twice a day. Wow. Search is by far the biggest weapon of choice (Google being the goddess of choiceContinueContinue reading “google mother”
we’re all europeans now… yeah, right
I’m in Holland again today after an oh my god early flight into Schiphol. I perused a couple of the free rags that were scattered on the train from Schiphol to Den Haag (sitting upstairs of course – why can’t I do this at home???) and discovered that there had been a concert/festival of sortsContinueContinue reading “we’re all europeans now… yeah, right”
stuff and things 14.06.07
I love this image of social circles that I found on bnox courtesy of Philippe. Explore the links in the bnox post, you will be rewarded. 60% of British bosses dream of sex during powerpoint presentations. See, it does make you go blind. “Abby is suffering a painful bum from being over-spanked” is possibly oneContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 14.06.07”
business gobbledygook
I found this hidden away in a corner of some folders I tidied a few weeks back on my laptop. I have no idea where it came from but it made me chuckle and also lament the fading light of “turnkey” and the desire to re-ignite the fire of “interoperable”. Reminds me of the meetingContinueContinue reading “business gobbledygook”
crap meeting equipment
Yesterday I had a surprise creds meeting, which is always a treat. But I found myself distracted and embarrassed for the entire duration by the makeshift projector set up. Normally we have nice, ceiling-mounted beamers but it had gone kaput (again). In it’s place sat a replacement projector atop couple of reams of paperContinueContinue reading “crap meeting equipment”
time equals money
New vid from Isobar about their new philosophy that time is the new currency in the magic dust world of marketing. Just not sure they’re saying anything that we don’t know already, especially the bit about what’s at the core of a consumer. Er, that’s the insight that derives a proposition that’s been at theContinueContinue reading “time equals money”
when did PEST become SLEPT?
The Times 100 site has some good case studies and theory stuff that ranges from GCSE to A level to MBA. Obviously been a while since I ducked into the classroom as the L was always silent in PEST (Political, Economic, Social, Technology), as it kind of got lumped with Political. I bet they’veContinueContinue reading “when did PEST become SLEPT?”
google is top of the brandz & still has humour | millward brown brandz report
Google is the no. 1 brand according to the 2007 Millward Brown Brandz report. They also still have humour. Go to Google maps, click get directions, add washington, dc as the from and london, uk the to. Check out direction 21. SWIM across the Atlantic. Genius. I also didn’t know the original name for GoogleContinueContinue reading “google is top of the brandz & still has humour | millward brown brandz report”
reviving tango | an account planning think tank
I’ve been reading Vincent Thome’s blog for a while. I can’t remember how I found his stuff but I like it. As a relative newcomer to the advertising genre, he’s been on a number of courses funded by the good folks at DDB (those behind the VW campaigns of genius) and always pings a blogContinueContinue reading “reviving tango | an account planning think tank”
