Follow up: Radiohead backs down

Thom Yorke has admitted defeat. The unpaid downloads were a “one-off event” that won’t be repeated.
In an article published yesterday in the Hollywood Reporter, Yorke said, ” “I think it was a one-off response to a particular situation.”
So, what? Because this didn’t go the way you expected, all of a sudden, using new distribution methods […]

Upcoming interviews

I’ve got some big plans for BuzzNetworker in the upcoming weeks, and I want to know if there’s anything you’d like to see.
I just received a copy of Rohit Bhargava’s latest book, “Personality not included. Why Companies Lose Their Authenticity- and How Great Brands Get It Back” that I’ve already started on. Rohit and […]

Housekeeping

As I get settled into my new home here, I’m starting to make a few changes. I’ve just recently cleaned up the categories, so you may find the post you were looking for has been moved into the Uncategorized section.

I was basking in the sunshine yesterday, more or less participating in a client’s strategy meeting. (Good news is, they were basking in the sun too - it was a very lazy strategy meeting on our rooftop deck!)
