This week, I claimed that companies like ours are the agencies of the future but somebody put me in my place by pointing out that 1000heads is a child of the last century. Day to day work normally gets in the way of reflection, but this made me pause for thought and consider the journey [...]
Scarcity, secrecy, exclusivity. Three words that don’t exactly reflect the transparency and freedom of information that brands are supposedly striving for in a social age. But that’s also the reason that they can be so powerful in triggering emotional impact and peer-to-peer conversation when they are used well. Last week, a friend of mine invited [...]
Waterstone’s was founded by Tim Waterstone. It’s his chain. Hence the possessive apostrophe that indicates ownership. To remove it is to remove ownership (OK, he doesn’t own it anymore, but you know what I’m getting at). To remove it is an affront to the English Language. To remove it is to offend everyone who has ever [...]
At least, in London anyway… Via Kenya Allmond We haven’t done one of these for a while but today is our company away day. It’s been quite the year so far in 2011; what with many, many new client wins (more to come on this very soon), an amazing expansion plan (new offices, new staff) [...]

Last week, as part of our activity for Nokia’s Symbian Belle launch, we arranged a special ‘48hrs in Hong Kong‘ for a very lucky group of six select [...]
Social Media Week is coming! If you’ve not heard about it yet, it’s pretty big (with events being held all over the world) and it’s only going to get bigger. Globally, we’re going to be keeping ourselves busy supporting different activities on behalf of the headline sponsor (who also happens to be one of our [...]
As the blurb says – “1000heads is an imaginative collection of illustrations in which the human head experiments the strangest transformations, actions and variations. Let this video guide you in this imaginative, fascinating and mesmerizing trip through the world of symbols, associations and memories.” No no, we’ve not decided to change our business model (word [...]
1000heads have been running successful events for over 6 years. One of the first we coordinated was back in 2006 in New York. It was at a time when many brands weren’t thinking about involving the community of users in their event plans. We went one better and had the community launch the product to [...]
It seems incredible that, as of this month, 1000heads has been listening, engaging with and stimulating word of mouth for brands for a whole TEN YEARS.
