So apparently Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide show has been on Radio 1 for ten years. As with so many other things these days, that makes me feel a bit old as I still remember his show on Kiss (as I’m sure many others do too) and actually still think that the slot he had on a [...]

So I just had an email from my sister asking if I’d heard the news and I hadn’t and now I’m a little sad.
The news was that British folk singer John Martyn had died at the, tragically young, age of 60. Though when you consider the life he led, the fact that he had to [...]

I’ve spent the last few days in Dublin and yesterday I spoke at the Hostelworld.com conference on how hostel owners could be using video, various forms of social media & viral marketing to promote their businesses.
As part of one of my presentations I talked about Skype’s Nomad campaign from last year in which Rebecca, a [...]

I’ve been in Dublin this weekend as I’m speaking at a conference today. After meeting one of my Irish cousins for lunch yesterday I spent a rather pleasant afternoon walking round Dublin: checking out the shops (man, that exchange rate hurts), having one of the world’s best hot chocolates & snapping a bit of street [...]

A remix of this track just came on the office stereo (the Groove Corporation one that features on the Bedroom Sessions mix by Faithless) and I just felt like I had to play the original. Cocaine In My Brain by Dillinger is undoubtedly not a song that should be taken as a suggestion on how [...]

It was only the other day that I read an article claiming that some of the most interesting and exciting digital marketing was coming out of Australia. Well, it seems that the same could be claimed for their offline marketing too. Whoever came up with this ad for the hair removal cream Veet, which was [...]

Yesterday, as I’m sure I don’t need to point out, saw the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States. We had an event on here at work where we invited clients to watch it, served food & drinks (with an American theme) and gave a couple of presentations on lessons for marketers [...]

Lost gloves eh? They’re like buses - you wait ages for one, then loads come along at once. And as if that wasn’t enough, it seems like people aren’t content to lose just one glove anymore as this is the second pair of gloves I’ve seen on the street. And, as with Lost Gloves #5, [...]
