Dozens of you have asked me what has happened to aka.tv. Once it was ‘the’ place to go to get news, inside information and gossip on the industry (I always thought that the editorial was slightly biased towards some of its sponsors) but a year ago I would still have said that it was the […]

It’s absolutely fascinating how people find you (not literally of course when you meet) – but how they find you or your product online. WordPress has a great tool that tracks the search terms used to get to your site. In the last few days the list below contains the majority of search terms that […]

Next Thursday 1st November I was hoping to be in London at the “Catch the Radio Wave” event organised by the Radio Centre. Demand for places has been high / venue is too small / I am not important enough (delete as appropriate) but looks like I won’t be going 🙁 This half-day event hosted […]

When 3M and POPAI commission a piece of research you are not going to be too surprised that it supports the “effectiveness of back-projecting dynamic promotional messages onto shop windows using Vikuiti Rear Projection Film”. You ask consumers questions in a certain way, especially when they have just walked in / out / past your […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

A few people (including me for once) received a very nice open letter / email from Barry Salzman (the former DoubleClick president) who is now CEO of YCD Multimedia. It’s worth a quick mention here as I am about to publish my top 10 DS Software / CMS Solutions (and YCD are very much included) […]
