By Ian, on September 27th, 2007 I’m spending nearly all my time on NMK sorting out events, courses and commercial deals — the stuff that actually brings in money — so I need a junior writer who can catch up with internet statistics and research stories, report on events going on in digital London and to talk to key players, so the Continue reading Looking for a Writer By Ian, on September 26th, 2007 My colleagues at MusicTank are putting on an event next Wednesday (3/10/07) called ‘Music’s New Conundrum: Too Much Choice?’. MusicTank, if you haven’t come across it before, is a knowledge-sharing network for the music industry, in much the same way that my own outfit, NMK, is a knowledge-sharing network for the digital Continue reading Too Much; Too Young By Ian, on September 25th, 2007 A report in the recent McKinsey Quarterly highlights some rather interesting figures for believers in social media.

It’s a one-day conference about interactive design, organised by my colleagues at dynamo-london, in association with NMK (my outfit) and AIG. Tickets are nearly all gone, but there are probably still enough left for the readership Continue reading Getting Ready for iDesign | About this BlogSocial tools, devices and web evolution are creating epochal change in media, society and business.
