Won’t somebody please think of the future?
When technology’s visionaries can’t even excite us about the future, things are looking grim. Eric Schmidt is a douche. For years, we (the people who use and design technology) have laughed at Microsoft’s attempts to peddle their devices and ecosystem by “predicting the future 5 years from now”. Weirdly, their future has always been today’s […]
Stella vs Heineken: Personality Face-off
April 25, 2013
Welcome to West Kensington, where I worked for the past few years. There’s nothing glamorous about this neighbourhood, but it’s also not a bad place to put an ad agency. Located at the London end of the M4, it’s one of London’s prime outdoor advertising venues. I thought I’d throw this one online because I […]
Three hopes for Google Glass
March 8, 2013
Woops, almost forgot to post this week. It’s been like any other (i.e. busy), but for some reason I’ve not had time to digest my usual diet of videos and media stories.

Awesome things come in small packages: why we should get excited about mobile advertising
December 11, 2012
(Background) If the web has taught us one thing, it’s that life is pointless without other people to enjoy it with. Through social networks, friends & strangers have made the Internet a more colourful place, and online strategies that ignore this are no strategies at all. For mobile advertising to take off, it needs new […]
What you do every day, but better
November 16, 2012
We all suffer from ego depletion, which is a vogue way of saying that we get tired and frustrated with things. After a succession of obstacles, problems and setbacks, it’s easy to forget why we’re doing something. I don’t think losing faith matters too much, just as long as you know where to find it […]
