It’s been a busy week for me as I’ve been to three events this week; all of them digital and each of them unique. First was the Cannt (the antihero of Cannes), the second was the NMA Awards at The Grovesnor (where my fabulous colleague Laura JB won The Greatest Contribution to New Media Award) [...]

I never imagined that my blog would be ‘throttled’. In fact, the term itself seems an incredibly unlikely thing doesn’t it? But it happens, and it happened to me. I checked my blog a few weeks ago because my traffic showed zero and I when I went to the home page I found it was [...]

Every day the power of blogging and twitter and social media is questioned.

And equally bad is if you have so many ideas – a glut in fact – that you feel that you can’t even being to start because it’s all so overwhelming. I have and frequently.

It does tickle me as I wonder how the conversation went with the organisers as they planned this brilliant get together last week. ‘Ok kids, we’ve got a launch on.
