This week is going to be awesome for all of us!
Awesome for me because on Thursday I fly with Ashley and some of the finest minds in online marketing to Reykjavik in Iceland for the Reykjavik Internet Marketing Conference.
Awesome for you, because you’re going to have the laugh of your life on Friday 20th at 5.15pm if you watch BBC 2 and catch us touring the wilds of East Sussex looking for a house to escape to with Alastair Appleton of “Cash in the Attic” fame!
You can see some of the photos of the four day shoot here and the funny thing is, because we’re at the conference, folks over here in the UK will be the first to see the show so please let us know what you think/laughed at.
To be honest it’s a little nerve-wracking as there was so much footage there could be many angles they could take – I just hope me quoting Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump by accident has made it to the cutting room floor!
As for the conference, well Kristjan Mar Hauksson has done a great job assembling the likes of Rand Fishkin, Shari Thurow, Anne Kennedy, Dixon Jones, Andy Atkins-Kruger and Adam Lasnik to inject some internet marketing know-how into the Icelandic marketing community.
I’ll be speaking on online youth marketing with Sion Portman from Nike which I’m looking forward to enormously!
Have to say, Kristjan continues to be one of the best loved, jolliest and most generous people in the industry.
He’ll be in New York for SES so say hi and buy him a beer or 5!
This still makes me smile!
I was looking for the interview for a piece I’m writing and came across just this clip.
Looking forward to Guy Kawasaki and his talk on Twitter at SES New York.
Getting in on Monday night so see you there!
When I’m out and about and people ask me what I do, I say I talk about Microsoft Advertising.
Having people understand we’re so much more than just “software & computers” and that we’re well placed at the cutting edge of digital marketing has been a challenge, but recent announcements like the Microsoft Media Network have shown people that, when it comes to advertising, we’re not just about MSN.
This new video says tells the brand story very nicely indeed!
Let me know what you think…..
[Note to self] – Must stop saying “errrr” – I hate that!
Why do some of us do it and others don’t?
Any tips gratefully received!
UPDATE: Check out JiveBrow09 NOW!

Tomorrow – Friday 27th February – on the MSN.co.uk homepage, the world’s largest eyebrow dance-off will commence.
JiveBrow09 will be hosted by MSN and www.aglassandahalffullproductions.com giving you the chance to have your eyebrows “plucked” from obscurity via your webcam, and have your high-brow facial moves displayed to millions online!
Some very funky technology will be in play here including “B-Brow”, the world’s first “eyebrowser” and a re-edit of the TV ad where the kids only dance when you’re not looking.
This is certainly an event not to miss and is sure to raise a few……erm………eyebrows!
🙂

Some highlights and pictures of the “Big Five”…….
