So much stuff has happened this week we honestly don’t know where to start! Chronologically maybe? Yes, let’s give that a go.. Wednesday 30th November was the very last day of the month also known as Movember and it has to be said, the chaps in the office did us proud. Fully grown Mos spread [...]
We’ve managed to cobble together fifteen of the best looking men (all the ugly ones opted out) from the 1000heads London office to participate in this year’s charity fund-raising initiative, Movember. Robin, Henry, Egidijus, Hazem, James, Andy, Freddie, Kingsley Ricc, Alex, Joe, Tim, Nick, Aurélien If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, Movember is a moustache [...]
This morning, Mashable is reporting the launch of Ticketmaster‘s latest layer of Facebook integration, a move that allows users to see exactly where their Facebook friends will be sitting at various different events and gigs across the globe. Live on over 9000 events across the Ticketmaster website, the new interactive map enables seat tagging, which [...]
Over the weekend UK-based ‘indie’ band, The Kaiser Chiefs, went public with their latest album offering ‘The Future is Medieval’. What makes this launch unique different is that for the first time, Chiefs fans can create their own version of the album and then make money from the sales of that bespoke version. As the [...]
This gorgeous, gorgeous piece of work from the smart chaps at Intel is one of the most perfect uses of the Facebook social graph API that I have ever seen. Click through to the site, give up virtually all of your Facebook access privileges (we’ll come back to that one later) and just sit back [...]
If you don’t already know about Gary Vaynerchuk, you’re in for a treat. Back in February 2006 the New Jersey-based entrepreneur set up Wine Library TV, an outspoken, down to earth, idiosyncratic video blog and online community hub for wine enthusiasts. It now attracts over 80,000 viewers a day, and its founder has become a [...]
This Friday we bring you the debut blog appearance from our much-loved Account Manager Mr Riccardo Webb… ^MF Why would a company create an awesome ad that posed a question – a question you’d be tempted to answer – and then forget to give people the platform on which to answer? Washington Lottery has just [...]
This morning we found the following in our Twitter stream, from our good friend the mobile tech guru Clinton Jeff: How could we resist? Check it out for yourself. OK, it’s not rocket science. It’s clichéd, gimmicky, no doubt rather expensive and it’ll be interesting to see the business value it generates. But it’s fun. [...]
I’m a big fan of itsu. For one thing, there are three outlets very near our office, and their salmon and tuna sushi with extra ginger and wasabi makes my lunchtime just that bit lovelier. For another, they have an inherently social style. Sure, their social media presence is poor. They run some Foursquare deals [...]
Happy Monday everyone. As part of my role as strategy executive here at 1000heads, I’m constantly tasked with finding new ways to improve our in-house reporting tools. On that note, I recently came across Socialbakers (formerly Facebakers) and, while I haven’t yet fully explored their features, it brings to mind a type of question that [...]
