2, Nov 2010The more observant amongst you will have noticed a slight change to LinkedIn company pages over the past couple of days.

Standing out from the crowd
22, Oct 2010One of the points I tend to make when asked to futurecast about where the recruitment industry is headed is that entire process of recruitment needs revisiting. There tends to be a lot of focus on innovation in the channels that are used to reach candidates, as well as engaging new approaches to communicating brand [...]
Friday mail – chick, chick, chick, CHICKEN!
12, Oct 2010No prizes for guessing the theme of this week’s mail . On Wednesday, we were all brought together by some wonderful, morale-boosting news and it would be a travesty not to honour it with a few end-of-the-week online ramblings. So here goes: 200 words on Clokie’s bumper crop of maris pipers. Oh, alriight, alright. If [...]
Friday mail – Projected Earnings?
19, Jul 2010This week has seen a whole host of emailed links pinging back and forth between Creative and Digital featuring the latest trickery in building projection and I promised to share some of them more widely. If anyone watched the opening ceremony of last year’s Winter Olympics, you’ll have seen just how far animated projection has [...]

To measure is to know
22, Jan 2010On my daily commute, I often get talking to the Creative Director of a globally respected digital agency.

Feeling the need for speed
18, Jan 2010This week we blend the past and the present; the new world and the old, with links that showcase great examples of 3D, holography, archive footage, air travel, space travel and good old philanthropy. Thanks to Russ, who found the first and last links. Enjoy Immerse yourself in the space race To celebrate the 40th [...]
Straight from a snowy Friday in Shoreham, this week’s theme is interactivity – sites or campaigns that require involvement from a user or users as part of the campaign experience. Interestingly enough, the first three examples below are public sector – unsurprising given the sphere of reference, but interesting in that their approach lie beyond [...]
A new year, but old lessons still need to be learned
29, Dec 2009One of the ongoing discussions in recruitment advertising is on the merits of job boards; the core question centering around the quality of lead that they tend to provide. I’m not going to get into the argument today, but the point here is that we tend to look at job boards on a (fairly) regular [...]
