I’ve sliced, smashed, squished and crushed me. Some weird stuff coming soon. Stuff and things. https://youtu.be/rUAq5gr9jyY

How to live a remarkable life
This is Thalassa. Thalassa is happy. Not just because of the Tony’s Chocolonely in her hand. Because she’s engineered a way to make her work fit her life goals. Just look at her and how happy she is. She always had a dream to live and work in Barcelona, a city she feels is homeContinueContinue reading “How to live a remarkable life”
Introducing Zuck – Facebook’s new Chief Creative Officer
Yet again, a Facebook newsfeed update garners more column inches in our feeds than atrocities happening across the world. But that’s the echo chamber we live in. So here’s my thoughts. After being lauded for doing ker-azy things as CEO like spending a year in another country or visiting every state in the US justContinueContinue reading “Introducing Zuck – Facebook’s new Chief Creative Officer”
Postcards from the beach – 2017 edition
At the end of September, I spent two days by the beach listening, learning and starting to live again. Curated by the self-styled most selfish event organiser in the world, Matt Desmier, Silicon Beach is a complete mystery. You have some idea of some of the speakers but no idea when they talk, what theyContinueContinue reading “Postcards from the beach – 2017 edition”
Should social media be allowed at work?
With employees ‘wasting’ up to a third of their day being distracted with things like social media, office chat, going online in work hours, I was asked to comment this week in Times supplement, Raconteur on whether social media should be allowed at work. What do you think? We don’t limit what our teams can and cannotContinueContinue reading “Should social media be allowed at work?”
why we ‘like’
I adore Patrick. We used to work together. He’s now in LA working for theAudience. I miss working with Patrick because he would tell you tales of the most amazing things, particularly his fascination with tattoos which you can explore in his book. And of course he was pretty decent as a Creative Director too.ContinueContinue reading “why we ‘like’”
social media is bullshit
We’ve all wondered this at some stage surely? Probably when we’re sat in meetings and hear the word ‘engagement’ used so often you start imaging doing horrible things to the person using that word. Or to yourself if you’re the one saying it (I have). I borrowed this book from my copywriter, Ian. The firstContinueContinue reading “social media is bullshit”

We won an award recently and I can’t tell you how thrilled I am. It was for the work we’ve been doing for Align Technology to generate awareness and lead generation for Invisalign across Europe. The award was for the 2013 consumer campaign, “Smile and the Whole World Smiles With You” received the Excellence in IntegratedContinueContinue reading “this is what excellence in integrated digital communications looks like”
Distraction and the Internet
65% of us get distracted by the Internet. Distracted form doing stuff by doing more stuff like emails, general web surfing and of course, social media. 53% also admitted that the reduction in productivity caused them dissatisfaction and unhappiness. I can empathise. I’m far too easily distracted at present. I need to switch off. And now youContinueContinue reading “Distraction and the Internet”
i almost did it
I’ve tried to switch off from email and social before. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. After changing a few holidays around due to work commitments this year, I was determined to switch off from work this time round. And that also meant an opportunity for no tweeting, facebooking, checking gmail etc. It’s a lotContinueContinue reading “i almost did it”
