December 21st, 2009 · 6 Comments · Uncategorized
Amidst the chaos leading up to the holiday break, I thought I’d sneak in this quick post. Aside from spending time with family and friends (not to mention spoiling my son rotten), one thing I’m really looking forward to these holidays is settling in for some R&R to rejuvenate, consolidate and build on my thinking [...]

I was recently invited through inthemix.com.au to take part in a seeding trial for a secret new beer. After answering some pretty straightforward questions, I was told I would soon be receiving a six-pack of said secret beer. Last week, the six-pack arrived and the secret was revealed: VB Raw.

August 25th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Following on from my post last week, it seems I am not alone in my ambivalence towards Marketing Week’s handling of social media. Seems that I wasn’t the only one who noticed how poorly Marketing Week was handling it’s own social media campaign with no Twitter presence (hello, @marketingweek ??) and a lonely WP blog [...]

August 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
I was browsing through the Marketing Week program earlier today and was shocked to discover a distinct lack of sessions with a social media focus.

August 13th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
The return of Kyle and Jackie O’s morning show on 2DayFM, to me, embodies everything that’s wrong with commercial radio. Like many around the country (if the thousands of comments on news sites are any indication), I was shocked and appalled by the incident that left a 14 year old girl and her mother victims [...]
