(Some not very good photos of Stinkdigital London)

I’m 1 month into my new role as Exec Producer: here’s 10 things I’ve noticed.

1. We work direct with brands and in partnership with agencies.
2. We get lots of enquiries.
3. We are lucky enough to be selective about the work we take on.
4. We have a core of fulltime staff backed-up by a pool of trusted freelancers.
5. We run the business on Google Apps. (Gmail, Google Calendars, Google Docs)
6. We use Google Talk in the office and Skype for international calls.
7. We use shared docs and collaborative editing… a lot.
8. I haven’t opened MS Office since I started.
9. I have 2 regular meetings a week (one at Stinkdigital, one at Stink) and a call with NYC.
10. The meeting room is usually free.

The thing I’ve really noticed though is how fast things move. No I mean it…. really fast. It’s built into the DNA of the place. Part through necessity, part through planning. Obviously that brings it’s own subtle challenges; but on the whole it’s been really refreshing.

Apart from how we work; the actual work is pretty great too.

We started the year off by winning FWA Site of the Month for CNN Ecosphere, we then launched Wrangler Europe SS12 Directed by Arno Salters. and we’ve just been rated in the Top 5 Production Companies Worldwide in The Gunn Report. There’s much more great stuff in the pipeline too.

I can’t believe it’s February already.

HELLO AGAIN.

I’ve been meaning to write a proper post for a long time now as this poor old blog was starting to look horribly neglected.

Truth be told; when I first started blogging I used to take the time to craft each post, there was thought and detail put into it, and the writing was much more personal.

However, over time, it slowly became something more like to a “glorified Pinterest’ of cool stuff – mainly because my job changed. And that’s all fine; BUT the site was missing the thinking that went along with all that cool shit. It’s not that the thinking wasn’t there, I did it… but time was short, and I struggled to keep it short and make it coherent. So in the end I sacrificed it.

But, as those of you who follow me on Twitter may know, after 6½ years fabulous year at glue, I recently decided it was time for a change and resigned in October 2011.

I was going to post something a bit more longform then, but to be honest my head really wasn’t in the right place. And, whisper it, but I actually quite enjoyed switching off for a bit.

ALL CHANGE.

So it’s January 2012, and refreshed and re-invigorated I’ve joined the super talented team at Stinkdigital. I’ll probably talk about a few of the reasons in another post – but my focus has shifted a bit. I want to reflect that here too.

I was also inspired by this brilliant post from Iain Tait on the brand spanking new crackunit2.com. I strongly suggest you read it. For me it’s one of the best things written about the merits of ‘blogging’ and I want to buy him a pint for writing it.

In summary then… I’m back!!

All I need now is a shiny new theme.

LETS KICK THINGS OFF WITH A PROPER INTERNET VIDEO!!
