[Being the 11th and 12th in a fortnightly series of brain dumps: what I’m working on, wondering and worrying about.] Bankholapalooza; a week-and-a-bit off work thanks to Easter, a royal wedding and taking the 3 days in between as holiday. It’s only once I’m on holiday for a few days that I realise how exhausted […]

Color: why it’s interesting and why it won’t be “the next Twitter”.
Color invites you to “creates new, dynamic social networks … wherever you go”. It’s getting a lot of attention at the moment, largely because of $41M VC funding. It’s even being hailed as having ‘a very good chance of becoming a large scale success like Twitter‘. In case you have not yet heard of Color, […]
Fortnotes 8
[Number eight in a fortnightly series of brain dumps: what I’m working on, wondering and worrying about.] I spent some time out of the office at a shoot for Cravendale. We were there to help Bertrum Thumbcat (the ringleader of the polydactyl cats in the current Cravendale campaign) make some YouTube videos in which he […]
Fortnotes 6
[Being the sixth in a fortnightly series of brain dumps: what I’m working on, wondering and worrying about.] Mostly working on Cravendale, Honda and Lurpak and at the moment. One full day in Leeds with Cravendale clients, showing them our plans for the next few weeks and getting excited with them. Great meeting, and nice […]

Hello Goodbye
Fortnotes 5
[Being the fifth in a fortnightly series of brain dumps: what I’m working on, wondering and worrying about.] An exciting new project for Cravendale, plus a digital pitch for another client (which involved a bit of research and presenting some feedback and ideas). Lots of work on Honda and Lurpak. Thursday was Make Good Music […]
Fortnotes 4 – end of January
Trying to begin every week by making a list of all the projects/areas I’ve got some involvement with (about a dozen of them at the moment) and writing down what I need to do next for each of them. Getting Things Done. Oh yes. I have a PA now, to wrestle my diary into submission. […]
Fortnotes 3 – early January
The first fortnight back at work after Christmas. The snow has given way to rain and drizzle, so London is dark and wet and I feel marginally less energetic than I did in December. Working longer hours and trying to avoid getting home after 8pm too frequently. Finally got properly involved in some Honda work, […]
Fortnotes 2 – end of December
Amazing how fast the first month has gone. Time for a second set of fortnightly weeknotes. Um… fortnotes. I’ve mainly been sitting downstairs in the kitchen area, near the toast and tea. There’s also a pool table and a set of (never used?) drums. It’s a good spot. People mill around and it’s a great […]
Fortnotes – first fortnight
I’ve decided that weeknotes are too ambitious. I’m going to do fortnightly notes instead. Fortnotes. Let’s see how it goes. A good first couple of weeks at W+K London. Getting stuck into some hard (but fun) work, plus a couple of Christmas parties. I started on Wednesday 1st December, and my first day coincided with […]
