Curating your conference schedule to be a better ________.

As I type this, I’m currently on a break from attending the Brighton Digital Marketing Festival here in sunny Brighton. On Monday I was fortunate enough to attend the surprisingly fantastic Update Conference, and the Friday before that I attended the annual (and highly acclaimed) dConstruct2011. As if that wasn’t enough, tomorrow I’m attending (or [...]

So what is the future of Digital Marketing?

Having attended e-consultancy’s event on the ‘Future of Digital Marketing’ in June, if I’m being honest, it was the first time I’ve felt excited about digital marketing for a long time. Way back in February I attended the dire DMA show in Las Vegas, and subsequently wrote up a diatribe on why it and the [...]

Is digital marketing getting predictable?

What’s happening in digital marketing these days? Not much, so it seems. This past week I attended, albeit briefly, the TFM&A show in London.
