Courtesy of the combined joys of Twitter & blip I stumbled across this rather wonderful mashup: it sees the vocals from Estelle’s killer track American Boy combined with the music of The Ting Tings’ Shut Up And Let Me Go. I know that mashups are meant to be passée these days, but this rocks. End […]

Quite a few people have been writing about Diesel’s XXX promotion recently (Miranda has the most detailed write-up). The video above, which turns a load of porn films into something that’s (just) about safe to view at work is probably one of the main reasons for that. However what I found interesting about the video is that Diesel actually […]

I often think that if the ailing record industry really wants to find a way out of the large, internet shaped hole it seems to find itself in, it could do worse than look at what Radiohead are doing and copy that.
First there was the rather succesful way in which they launched their last album […]

Our friends at Slice work with Nike a lot of the time. Their latest project, Here I Am, is aimed at getting more women doing exercise.

As a man who does very little exercise I’m guessing that it’s not aimed at me. That said, the artwork which has been put together for the campaign is stunning.

They’ve […]

Here you go lads, get a load of Kelly Brook - she’s got a massive……forehead?!
This online-only ad, starring Kelly Brook, Harry Enfield & Carol Vorderman was created by Slice, the consumer PR arm of the communications group I work for. I have to say that I find the sight of Kelly Brook with a huge […]

Last year I moderated a session at the inaugural a4uexpo on Extreme SEO. The panel was made up of Joost, Marcus, Dixon & Jason Duke and, to my surprise, moderating this session was almost, if not more, fun than actually speaking. You can see a video of the session above - I didn’t have a […]

I just got back from a weekend in Dublin. Despite packing for typical Irish weather (jumpers, jacket, umbrella etc…) the weather was actually glorious which only added to what was an excellent trip anyway.
Saturday night was the last night of the Dublin Fringe Festival and we went to see La Clique which, if pushed, I guess I’d describe as […]

There’s an interesting article in The Guardian today, about how the recent financial madness has been manifesting itself in football clubs losing their sponsors.
It also touches on some of the more bizarre sponsors over the years such as West Ham being sponsored by Pony, despite that being local slang for crap, or Arsenal having to […]

Holy financial shit storm Batman. Via TechCrunch comes this graphic from the New York Times. The image above shows the capitalisation of a load of companies back in October of last year. Below you can see what that looks like now. Oh what a difference a year makes eh?

To really get the most out of […]
