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.

I was listening intently. But this sure doesn’t look like it. No wonder they think I’m always grumpy on zoom calls. Sorry, Julia, my face looks like wasnt all there, but I loved chatting to you.

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.

Now that’s a fab idea… Muscle memory kicks in pretty quickly and all of a sudden screen time per week will be back to 2018-levels.

Eek, we’re still stuck on “interim measurement” not “complete measurement”… suggesting that clicks are the ultimate measurement, even in Q4 2024. Why is this so?

New study says “The highest use is in document and proposal writing and editing with 64%, followed closely by data analyses and analytics at 62%. Other high-use functions include customer service and support (58%), fraud detection and prevention (55%), and financial forecasting and planning (53%).”

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.

BOTOX® Cosmetic Day was founded in 2019 by Allergan, a brand that produces various therapeutic products. On BOTOX® Cosmetic Day, the company gives back to loyal consumers and customers and educates those who aren’t sure whether BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for them.

Go away from my window Leave at your own chosen speed I'm not the one you want, babe I'm not the one you need You say you're lookin' for someone Who's never weak but always strong To protect you and defend you Whether you are right or wrong Someone to open each and every door But it ain't me, babe

Oh, that came out wrong. I don’t think I meant to suggest me following him is makes him cool. Hahaha. Then again…

James Welch @jamwel.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Of his first 30 followers, he has me, the Bruce Springsteen Fan Club and the Guinness Book of Records. How cool is that!

James Welch @jamwel.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

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...

James Cridland writes, if you’re someone in “digital tech, then you should be able to add a TXT record to your own personal domain. If you have neither a) the skills to add a TXT record to your personal domain, or b) your own personal domain, then you should question your life choices.”

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

Otherwise, we just have Ogden Nash’s two liner, not so poignant: The cow is of the bovine ilk; One end is moo, the other, milk

Yes, my fave 4 line poem, to date: “How do you do it?” Said night. “How do you wake and shine?” “I keep it simple,” said light. “One day at a time.”

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

No. Never been. But I wish I had a cool question like this to put out there!

@acatinatree.bsky.social - you told me “patience, young grasshopper”, back in 2009(?). Does this one have more legs, more purpose, do you think?

Hello @bsky.app and co. Anyone else remember joining Google Wave, with hardly anyone to wave to?
