As someone who has dealt with serious depression, one of the most useful insights I’ve had is realizing/accepting that much of depression is just biochemical. It often has nothing to do with what’s going on in our lives - though we often confabulate that it is. It’s just our biochemistry.

But hey, I have no problem messing around with that. If you’re ok with drinking redbull to stay charged for a night of partying, then there’s no need to feel strange about taking some {prescribed!} anti-depressants. Both give you wings. =]

Social media joined the Olympics this year. We may not have seen a Tweeting competition; however we did see the Games shared over social networking faster than the news sites could manage.

Unfortunately I did not manage to watch as much of the Olympics as I would have liked, but not at one point did I feel I missed out on an important achievement. I felt delight as Mo Farrah got his double gold, I felt the pain as Rebecca Adlington missed out on the medal she wanted and I shared the wonder as Usain Bolt showed the world just how amazing he was. I may not have watched it, but I definitely did not miss out. As one Olympics played out on our screens, another could be seen developing on our mobile phones, tablets and computers.

I was able to have my own Olympic experience as I went to watch the Women’s Hockey on the first Sunday of the Games. We were actively encouraged to participate in the social discussion through the use of hashtags on Twitter.

Reading through the Sunday Times this morning, there was a report on Olympic sponsors using social media during the Games. This should come as little surprise to any of us, basic marketing comms theory teaches us that sponsorship requires a communication campaign to support it and make it truly effective. Common sense probably tells us those texts are unnecessary! Having paid millions to affiliate their names with the five rings, it would make little sense to try and disguise this association for many of the companies.

Social media has also been bad, we’ve seen Tom Daley through Twitter. However this is something we have grown to expect. Social media has been known to give people too much freedom to target people. It also lets people hear the criticism they don’t want to hear and we don’t necessary know how to take that.

It seems quite sad that the Olympics has already been and gone, but I loved it this year. I loved being able to keep track by Twitter, how about you?

Initially I got Tumblr so I could post all the PR, marketing, social media etc. videos and stories I found without them getting lost on Twitter and feeling insignificant on my blog. Now I seem to look at a lot of gifs and reblog irrelevant things. I guess Tumblr sucked me into its world.

Saw the Queen today. And Will and Kate. Mostly had to use the huge screens to get a good view, but I did manage to see them in the flesh which was nice. And I correctly predicted the colour of Queenie’s outfit so that makes me the winner.

Doesn’t she look happy!

Today’s adventure was to Royal Leamington Spa. It may look beautiful, but even here it rains, so we got quite soggy. I have, however, never seen such a beautiful town, even in the pouring rain.

Why doesn’t everywhere look like this?

Client: Its not copyright infringement, we added an “s” on the end.

Me: We can not and will not reprint the Red Bull logo for your design - even with the “s” on the end of Bull.

Client: I’m sure its fine. Call Red Bull and ask if you’re so worried.
