My new Podcast with James Walker live today. He breaks down why Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) is experiencing a resurgence in 2026, why Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) failed to deliver. And it's not all metrics and measurement, honest. Check out "After Dinner Chats" on your podcast platform.

Anyone else opening an account at Xiaohongshu, aka “little red book,” instead of TikTok? See you there. Solidarity with my US TikTok fanbase.

For my fellow adland commerters this morning, this amused me. But also suggests that Murdoch’s Times is becoming more murdoch than times… your thoughts? Starmer’s AI plans closer to Bluey than a blueprint for Britain www.thetimes.com/article/b6c7...

Considering a new job or even a new career in 2025? Fair Isle, the most remote inhabited island in Britain, is searching for a teacher to join its modest primary school… The island, situated between the Shetland and Orkney archipelagos, has just two pupils… www.scotsman.com/news/scottis...

That moment when I thought I was bored of the NotebookLM voices. This episode just shows that it’s a fun and engaging way to catch up on stuff you never would have otherwise. Thanks Jon&Raj.

Interesting to ask friends and colleagues how they are using AI in their jobs. And the handful of people who genuinely use lots of tools beyond making listicles… you know summarising documents. Which to be fair is very handy.

Gee, it’s interesting to see who’s on your starter packs. And to see who is following people I think (will be) worth following. For example @timburrowes.bsky.social has baggsed his name as a handle. No posts, only following @bsky.app. He’s a journo so you’d expect a wide and good following.

Now, look, I’m not casting shade at anyone, but if you have anything to do with tech and you’re joining BlueSky - or you’re a brand - then for goodness sake, use your domain as a nickname. Apart from anything else, it verifies your profile as definitely yours. It’s free! bsky.social/about/blog/4...

Well, I haven’t explore losing the suffixes bsky & social - but think i should. See here james.cridland.net/blog/2024/us... which I just found in his email newsletter (how old school, eh?) thanks @james.crid.land

Lemn Sissay, the poet, is someone people of all walks should follow. Only he’s not here (yet). Important rhymes; frivolous ideas; valuable ethics.
