Twitter Translation Centre
Not sure if anyone has noticed this before but I was recently followed by someone with this ‘globe’ logo on their profile: Having not seen it before (and also mistaking it for the ‘verified’ logos that cropped up a few months ago…) I clicked on it and it led to this: Which (evidently) appears to...
GroupON, GroupOFF
Sure we’re all familiar with GroupON, after all I’m always looking for my next fill of cheap-as-chips laser teeth whitening, brazilian waxes or pregnancy scans (I’m not even joking with any of these, these were actual offers in London the day that this post was written). But it appears that GroupON seemed to be missing the point a...

This week brought very good news to me. I recently entered a competition to win a ticket for the Think Visibility SEO conference, happening in Leeds next weekend. The competition, ran by Manual Link Building, internationally focused SEO and link building experts pitted me against other SEO-bods (and people that just like free stuff). We...
Band Name London Underground Poster
Has it ever crossed your mine what music would look like if it were mapped based on it’s genre? Nope, didn’t think so. Well a certain Dorian Lynskey had exactly this thought (featured in the Guardian) and executed it perfectly based on the layout of the ever famous London Underground map. And although it’s not...
The Beginning of Infinity – David Deutsch
I’ve been inspired by a lot of video’s lately. Maybe it’s simply a change in the way I’m consuming media, which moving to London and starting my new job has undoubtedly caused, or maybe otherwise. I know that I’ve turned back to inspiring and educating myself through TED videos and recently stumbled across this video...
Snow Totoro
So, last year we had a ridiculous amount of snow. It was incredibly fun, for about 5 days, then everyone got really really pissed off… My creativity certainly lacks when I go to play in the snow and after attempting to make a snowman (which always ends up with boobs…) I normally get quite bored!...
Life Is Too Short
Shortly before I made the decision to leave Manchester (after 5 fantastic years) and travel to Africa to volunteer, I stumbled across this picture. I won’t say anymore other than it is incredibly inspirational…
Blade Runner – Movie Poster Art
You may remember that not too long ago I wrote about alternative Blade Runner artwork that I had brought for my friend Iwan. Well, based on the continuing cult popularity of the film (let alone the fact that it is a complete and utter masterpiece). Some more alternative artwork cropped up on my Facebook news...
The Vaccines – Wetsuit Instagram Video
I’m not sure if you’ve come across it yet but early today I stumbled across (recommended by Grant in the Quirk office) the new music video for The Vaccines ‘Wetsuit’. The Vaccines are a band that have come into much critical acclaim of late but their marketing team should also get a nod for the...
IKEA: Manland
Ikea have had their input on a fair few brilliant media stunts, including filling one of their stores with cats for the night, now known purely as ikea cats – which now even have their own facebook page. Well their latest offering is not only pure marketing/branding genius, but somewhere I actually want to move....
Blade Runner – Alternative Movie Poster
I’m going to have to admit something now which I am really not proud about. Until earlier on this year, I had never seen Blade Runner. I know, I know, string me up, curse me, run for the hills, I’m a very very bad person and what’s worse, I call myself a film buff… If...
