In an alternative universe we could be writing a Chapter 11 obituary for Xerox instead of Kodak, but they’ve managed to transform their business model to deal with digital technology change. And as part of that success story it was great to see Christa Carone, Xerox’s CMO (http://tinyurl.com/86nw7yv) championing Business-to-People (B2P) marketing and communications. B2P [...]

Daft Punk are regarded as the worlds the most iconic electronic music group. They have not only had incredibly successful music careers, but have also been responsible for breaking new ground with their creative live performances. In the last few years they have been commissioned to create the soundtrack for Tron: Legacy and created a [...]

Gen Y consumers expect products made with purpose while employees need to see that they are making a valuable contribution. It’s easy for start-ups. They’re offering credible alternatives that capture and address current dissatisfaction. The challenge for [...]

So it’s day 10 in Movember, the month long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer. The initiative is in it’s fifth year and has seen a huge increase in participation annually. A fantastic and effective concept of a walking billboard, the unusual look raises awareness around the [...]

With my fourth trip to India this year only weeks away I thought I was becoming relatively familiar with the country.
