Sucker For A Story. A Bigger Sucker For A Mystery
This image enthrals me. Why? Because it doesn’t just tell a story. It also doesn’t tell the story: are these two people talking, or have they just met? What are they meeting for? What is that moon-like thing? What does this image mean and stand for? By mentally filling in the gaps, I look at [...]
If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare To Fail
Since getting back from our time away over August, I haven’t stopped.

Making The First Move
I recently captured some thoughts from a discussion I’d had with Benjamin Ellis, a very astute consultant based in London, on the subject of business mindset and innovation. One of the things we discussed was what is known as first mover advantage – the term given to those businesses that make the first move into [...]
Tactics Aren’t Strategy AKA Just Because You Could Doesn’t Mean You Should
Yesterday I was with a prospective client that my company would provide Social Media consulting and management for. What I kept repeating to them every time they asked questions such as “What’s an RT?”, “What’s LinkedIn?” and “Should we do a podcast?”, was that we shouldn’t get caught up in the tools and tactics – [...]
Free From The Factory
In this modern day fable (if you can’t see the video, click here), notice the reoccurrence of themes we’ve been talking about:
