Blogger ethics and transparency is quite a big thing around here, as well as many other places online. I’ve written about the topic a few times, and read/commented on other posts around the web on it as well. As someone who both blogs and uses bloggers as part of client outreach programs, making sure the… [Continue Reading]
I had a few emails (and 14 unsubscriptions) after this blog post I wrote yesterday. The emails I received expressed the sender’s dislike of the post, saying that if I didn’t have anything nice to say, I shouldn’t say anything at all. I’m guessing the unsubscribes shared that view. That’s fair enough. Opinion pieces often… [Continue Reading]
Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and give up. Sometimes you look around and see nothing but smoke and mirrors and a bunch of crap that you know to be nothing but faux genuineness and bullshit.

Ideas are gold. Ideas are the platforms for greatness. Ideas are the moments in time that will find the cure for cancer. Ideas are the ingredients that become a recipe to feed the world. Ideas are the words that join a melody and make a grown man cry. Ideas are the architects that build shelters… [Continue Reading]
What’s your take on corporate talk? You know, the words that never seem to go out of fashion when you read a news release, or a job description, or a What We Do page on a company website? Are you a fan of the big words and the sprawling descriptions? I’m genuinely curious, because often… [Continue Reading]
My friend and business partner Troy Claus wrote an interesting post the other day, looking at personal versus professional branding. It raises some great questions about focus and recognition, and where the value lies in both. It got me thinking about how the line between figureheads and financial results in business can be a frail… [Continue Reading]
We all know things are tough at the minute. Businesses are laying staff off or closing down altogether, contractors are finding less clients and people are finding it hard to make ends meet. And it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better. So here’s an idea. A call to action, if you like.… [Continue Reading]
