Continuity is the key…

September 14, 2009

I want to share with you a recent lesson I was reminded of. It is something I know, have berated friends and clients over and even famously uttered the words… “I will never let this happen again”

Would anyone fall for this?

September 9, 2009

I got a letter in our post box yesterday that really stood out for a number of reasons. Firstly it looked like it had been in a mechanics back pocket for two days before it was mailed. It was bent, dirty and broken. The second thing however was that it was from France.

Let me tell you how my brain works…
This morning I was walking to an appointment in the city. I found myself waiting to cross the road and an older gentleman walked up beside me. He had impeccable dress sense that showed that he was really interested in his appearance, and for an older dude, he [...]

What REALLY matters in online/social/digital media…?

Let’s set the scene.
The drone of conversation can be heard as soon as I enter the ‘venue’ (bar) where the event I am attending is being held. This is a collection of the top people and interested parties in social media in Sydney. Obviously we are a little early as people are not yet liquored [...]
