Set the world at nought: March 2011

http://settheworldatnought.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Set the world at nought. Friday, 4 March 2011. Statistics that make you shudder. Sometimes you see something in the press and you think:”that can’t be right”. Apparently 58% of mobile operators think that SMS and MMS advertising will grow massively in the next few years. I started working on MMS and SMS information products around eight years ago. Either the advertising industry is very slow or this seems a ridiculous statement. But a mobile phone is also something personal. Money is spent personalis...

Set the world at nought: April 2011

Set the world at nought. Wednesday, 27 April 2011. A Fresh Look at Creativity. This story begins with a young man, quite an ordinary, unremarkable man. And it’s all true. Brought up in a large family, the eldest of five. The most interesting thing about him is that his father has an interest in local politics. He grew up in the same town as me – a small market town and again quite unremarkable. Here it is – this is where he spent all of his early years. Not much else to do growing up here. And it wasn&#8...

Set the world at nought: The folklore of black dogs in Yorkshire

http://settheworldatnought.blogspot.com/2011/10/problem-with-halloween-is.html

Set the world at nought. Monday, 31 October 2011. The folklore of black dogs in Yorkshire. The problem with Hallowe’en is the Americanisation of an ancient festival. What we fear nowadays has more to do with Hollywood. Forget the Vampires, the werewolves, Frankenstien’s monster, and the return of the mummy. The forgotten history of the West Riding holds much more frightening things:. But it seems to have Germanic origins - linked to Odin, the leader of the Wild Hunt a lone hunter tracking down a lady of ...

Set the world at nought. Friday, 27 May 2011. Why injunctions are an outdated solution. I doubt many people in the country are really that interested in the love life of Ryan Giggs particularly if you consider the the personal issues faced by many of his team mates and peers in the premier league. Parodied the fact that it is hardly an earth shattering news story. Like cats, curiosity is something most people have as a nagging urge in the back of their mind. Who was it and why keep it secret? Many compan...

Set the world at nought: February 2011

http://settheworldatnought.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Set the world at nought. Monday, 14 February 2011. A Farewell to Screen Yorkshire and inward investment? The problem with cuts is they just remove expenditure. To reduce debt, you have to do a whole lot more than cut costs. In fact, cutting costs can result in further problems down the line. The end of Yorkshire Forward would always see a number of the regional development organisations biting the dust – but at what costs? The investment from Screen Yorkshire last year was £5 million. Not all the filming...

Set the world at nought: November 2010

http://settheworldatnought.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Set the world at nought. Thursday, 25 November 2010. Why are we measuring happiness? There is a misconception. That measuring happiness is somehow un-economic. Big Businesses don’t do it, so why should we? Surely we can work out that less police means more crime, and few cleaners in hospitals means dirtier wards? The Laffer curve is an easy example. Demonstrating personal happiness. It measures labour against pay and appears as a hump or a hill shape. Basically, the more we are paid the more we w...It is...

Thursday, 27 January 2011. Taking communication for granted. For me, communication is a vital part of any organisation. It never ceases to amaze me when companies get the basics wrong. I’m not talking about small companies on the whole, but companies who really should know better. In late November I signed up ...

Social Media storm in a tea cup. Social media might be the latest fashion in communications strategy, but it doesn’t mean firms full understand how it affects them. There is a necessity for many firms entering the social media scene to evaluate some pretty core and fundamental cultural issues. Looking around the social media sites and...
