Charles Eames, mid-twentieth century modernist designer and creator of the legendary Eponymous chair, viewed design in a pragmatic and results-driven way. "Design," he noted "is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose." To Eames, this meant understanding the materials and tools available, and figuring out how best to draw them together into a singular solution which best fulfils a particular need. Clearly, it also meant understanding that need in the first place. 18 Jul 2019 Read more

Unless you've spent the past few months hiding below the fold, you'll be aware that one of the trending topics in digital media is viewability. This is part of a new drive for accountability in the digital sphere, a channel which has spent a good deal of its existence claiming to be able to report on, well, everything.

Personification of brands - how are marketers using digital media to tell their story?
As all marketers know, a strong and powerful brand feels like a person coming to life. It has a voice, a personality and nuanced characteristics. But the first wave of digital advertising opportunities did little to support brand personification. Targeting was crude and clumsy, creativity limited by technology, talent and imagination and it was all about click, click, clicks (and unfortunately still is for some!). Brand marketing remained in the realm of TV, radio, print and outdoor. 17 Apr 2014 Read more
