  • Fun Feels Good

    I saw this on Jodi’s Blog the other day and thought what a brilliant way of showing how approaching an issue in a new or fun way can have terrific results by engaging the user in a visceral experience (see Anne’s blog for more on that). What’s also interesting is that this is entirely a…

  • There’s An Ad For That

    You have to admire Verizon’s audacity in creating this advert to try and snag AT&T customers over to their network, by playing upon Apple’s “There’s an App for That” tagline used in their iPhone & App Store adverts (in case you’ve been living in a cave for the past year, you’ll find plenty of them…

  • Monoface

    A friend sent me the link to this wonderful idea this morning. The concept is simple, and it’s brilliantly done, just click on the face, you’ll work it out.

  • Did You Know, Shift Happens

    As I’m a bit of a closet statistics junkie & as these videos have been bouncing around the web for the past 2-3 years, I thought I’d compile a post with some of the best. Did You Know? 3.0 (Official Video) -2009 Edition [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHmwZ96_Gos] Did You Know 4.0 [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQFTUJK9TkI] Did You Know 4.0 (Convergence) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ILQrUrEWe8]…

  • Organic Fusion Engineer

    I dislike job titles (especially inflated ones), I never use one myself, your actions define what you do for a living, not your business card. If you excel at your work, you won’t require a job title, you probably won’t need business cards either, as everyone will already know what you do & who you…

  • Seth Godin London Session

    A couple of weeks ago I attended a Seth Godin presentation in London, produced by Mark Muggeridge of Evil Genius. I first heard of the event on Triiibes when Mark announced he’d been in discussions with Seth about putting on an event. Having been involved in live events myself for almost 20 years, I offered…

  • Sex Criminal Fashions

    I was just browsing Mary McKnight’s blog at Sacrilicious Marketing when I also noticed the Pedophile Beard viral video below by Jon La Joie, I’ll be honest, I haven’t laughed out loud like that for quite some time. There’s plenty more videos on his website. [youtube=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=15S0g8pG6HU] This is another good one, Show Me Your Genitals…

  • Dirty Laundry

    We’ve heard it so many times from clients & suppliers… “we’re customer focused… everything we do is with the customer in mind… we’re number one for our clients… you can trust us to deliver… we won’t let you down… yawn yawn etc” Then they proceed to say “But don’t take our word for it, listen…

  • It’s Hammer Time: The Comcast Way

    If ever you needed evidence that web 2.0 is reversing the balance of power into the hands of the consumer, then check out these videos and the www.comcastmustdie.com website. I’ve posted previously how the tide is changing & how companies need to be in there engaging with their customers and protecting their brands, companies ignoring…

  • How To Make People Read My Blog

    In a follow up from my “nobody reads my blog” post (which ironically is now my second most read individual post!?!?), I recently posted on the triiibes forum where a member was asking a question along the lines of “how to write a blog that someone will read?” well the answer is easy, don’t write…
