On Wednesday I attended my second Digital Lounge event at the Adam Street Private member’s club. This month’s speaker was Andrew Grill (of London-Calling blog fame) who presented on Mobile Advertising. Andrew certainly raised some interesting points that allowed discussion to flow as freely as the drinks! Central to his presentation was the theme that ... Read more

Check out the new Monty Python YouTube channel. After years of fighting to have their stuff taken down on YouTube, they’ve gone and released all of their work on YouTube for free! So what’s the catch? I’ll let them tell you:
“We’re letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there! But we want something in ... Read more
I’d like to think that I am nice enough, eloquent enough, and straight talking enough to always get my point across. I can in most cases deal with people well and I like to think that I can strike up a good rapport with them should I choose to do so. Now, obviously, the work ... Read more

Another event that you can catch the Neoco team at – or ask us for a report from is the IAB B2B forum: B2B marketing can be hugely different to consumer facing campaigns, particularly when using online advertising, but it can also be incredibly powerful when used correctly.
This essential IAB afternoon forum will give you ... Read more
I’ve got to say I love Google Maps and am constantly using it to find my way to different places – being new to London it saves me a lot of time and effort trying to map read (which definitely isn’t a skill of mine!). So when I heard about Google Street View, which is ... Read more
