Pet Shop Boys – Seven Days of Christmas

Go on and play…

On bonfires and that

I’ve been meaning to write this post forever now but never found the time – it seems like a good follow up to my recent post about big statements in today’s marketing world. You are all surely familiar by now with John’s really awesome idea of Fireworks (advertising) vs. Bonfires (social marketing) – it has [...]

Beware marketing truisms

I’m increasingly getting worried (and bored) about the rise and rise of new marketing truisms, especially in the context of the social web.

MJ (predictable) Coincidence

Last week, me in a lame attempt at an industry gag… Meanwhile in Stockholm…

All culture is inherently recombinant etc.

Read it all over at Faris’s, I simply like the work of Ji Lee: “In 1913, Marcel Duchamp took found objects from the streets and placed them in museums. 96 years later, if Duchamp were alive, he may want to do the very opposite”. His google-me business card is full of awesomeness – I want [...]
