Open Innovation
I’ve always been interested in open innovation. If we are in the early days of collaboration in the agency world, I think that we should try to learn to work with others. We all speak about UGC, social network, sharing and so forth but what do we do ourselves? We work with the [...]
The World is Daft
I guess it will be one of the best crowdsourced projects of 2008. As a fan of Daft Punk, I was disappointed when they confirmed that there will be no official Alive 2007 DVD. I bought the tracks on iTunes but no videos were included. On the other hand, you had thousands of small [...]
Will agencies be at the centre of the new venture capital landscape?
How can digital agency networks take advantage of the new start-up generation? The start-up environment has changed. It is cheaper and quicker to start-up today. The funding aspect is diminishing in favour of the ability to spot the right idea at the right time, and to bring this idea to market. The purpose of [...]
Jeff Skoll on making movies that make change
I just wanted to share as I think it is a nice talk regarding all the things that are happening today. Jeff Skoll made his fortune as the first president of eBay. Now he’s spending it at the movies. His company, Participant Productions, makes entertaining, issues-driven films that inspire real change, Murderball, Syriana, An Inconvenient [...]
IBM on the fight ahead on media’s mean streets
IBM has released an interesting report about the challenges that the media industry is facing. Here is the summary: “The worlds of traditional and new media are already clashing, and it’s a conflict that continues to expand. However, a second type of conflict is brewing – one that could cause major rifts among traditional partners. [...]
AlwaysOn Stanford Summit 2007
Today is the last day of the Stanford Summit 2007. AlwaysOn Stanford summit is a two-and-a-half-day executive gathering that highlights the significant economic, political and commercial trends affecting the global technology industries. The Stanford Summit features the most innovative companies, eminent technologists, influential investors and journalists in keynote presentations, panel debates and private company CEO [...]
Graffiti, lights and experiments
Experimentation has always been leading to innovation. I don’t know if you have heard about these guys at Graffiti Research Lab. They are dedicated to outfitting graffiti writers, artists and protesters with open source tools for urban communication and I love the way they approach experimentation. The goal of the G.R.L. is to technologically [...]
Google channel and AllthingsD
I’ll not put everything but here are two sources worth checking. The first one is the Google channel on Youtube with Eric Schmidt keynotes over the world, all the Zeitgeist Europe 2007 and much more. I’ll choose Eric Schmidt at the Western Association of Venture Capitalists Speaker Series as an example. If [...]
R/GA, Bob Greenberg, Anne Benvenuto and me
R/GA’s thoughts, mainly lead by Bob Greenberg, are probably the ones I follow the most in the agency landscape. The more I get experience in strategic planning, the more I’ve questions about the best ways to improve our relationship with clients, the best way to bring value to them and so on. I don’t [...]
