Not the Andy Hyatt Friday Email!
As you may have noticed I am not Andy Hyatt, I am Tom the new digital designer who started last month, and Andy has asked me to guest produce this weeks Friday email. I may not know quite as much about the world of digital as Andy but I hope to bring you some interesting […]
Good data, great ideas, intelligent interpretation
This morning I received an early call from a friend who had seen me post an update to foursquare at 6.20am and thought I was waiting for a train. We got to talking about how it is easy to misinterpret things in these days of the 140 character status update and it got me thinking […]
Friday thoughts
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written a Friday mail, although that’s more a reflection of how busy we have been than a failure to keep an interested eye on the web. (If you’re ever interested in checking the sites that we deem as interesting, without having to read my diatribe there is a […]
Weekend words
It’s been a while since my last Friday mail, so I used the hiatus as an opportunity to revisit some of the concepts that have been brought to the fore over the past two and a half years. Not for the purposes of nostalgic self-congratulation, but principally to see how much further things have come. […]
#And the times they are a chaaaaaanging#
This week has seen a number of Hodes employees engaged in the unenviable task of judging SIFE projects. For those of you who are unaware, SIFE is an international non-profit organization that works with leaders in business (such as Hodes) and higher education to mobilize university students to make a difference in their communities while […]
Part(y)ing thoughts
A Friday mail from our departing New Business Director. Enjoy “The first part of this blog I thought I’d look at the media battleground, and which channels will win the election….? Seems that my career goes in cycles along with governments, in fact my three career moves have all been within a couple of months […]
You’re right – you have no rights
Given that the Friday mail guest slot has been filled the past two weeks with some excellent missives (many thanks to Helen and Russell), I’ve had a bit of time to look around. And there has been a lot going on. As is the way with these things, I’ve been looking at the big picture. […]
Friday thoughts – a guest contribution
Many thanks to Helen Rosethorn for this week’s entry Following my “feeling sorry for myself” e mail of last week, Mr. Hyatt suggested that I might want to channel my energies into being a guest contributor to the Friday e mail. My response is that I for one think Andy’s insights at the end of […]
Extending the channel mix
It’s been a while since I sent a mail out, so I thought I’d send one today. I know I’m off, but times must and all that… In mainstream advertising the rise of the internet usage in comparison to TV, has forced creative directors to rethink how they capture the attention and interest of the […]
Freaky Fridays, Manic Mondays
In today’s society, we are often dissuaded from acting as individuals, especially when it comes to challenging the status quo. Subsuming yourself to the power of the collective is a mantra that is reinforced on a daily basis. But I don’t necessarily agree with this. One of my favourite quotes comes from a film, The […]
