Update: 20 November 2010: Over 3 weeks have passed since I started the $100 RapLeaf experiment – still no word from Rapleaf….and don’t expect to hear from them.

Here is a lesson in how not to use mobile as a channel. I just had an experience that proves to me that some companies still don’t get the personal nature of mobile, and the overarching need to ask PERMISSION to engage.

I spied an interesting article in the Sydney Morning Herald a few months ago, and this post has been in draft for too long – so time to publish, as it is still relevant. As an expat Australian who spent a few years at Telstra, and was directly involved with the Publicis Mojo team on the [...]

I came across an article in the printed version of mobile reseller magazine Mobile Today, but it is also on their blog, and I thought it worth a mention, because it amplifies everything I have been saying to date about mobile advertising.

The above cartoon by Hugh MacLeod is one of my favourites, and my friend and fellow mobile advertising evangelist, Jonathan MacDonald also uses it in his presentations (and pointed me to Hugh’s great work).

In this week’s Campaign, there is a quote that could not go unreported. As part of the Economist’s advertorial on inspiration, they interviewed Will Collin (left) who is a founding partner of Naked Communications about “inspiration”.
