I’m supposed to be on holiday, but…
I had a good day at PSFK yesterday. I’m supposed to be blogging about it (they let me in for free), and I promise to do so when I get back next week.
For now though, it was well run, the venue was ace, and the speakers were superb. BUT it struck me that the people who were the most interesting were not the ones talking about advertising, or really ‘planning’. The best stuff was from people who are doing something a bit different. Ian Tate was easilly the best for me though. Conclusion of the day? The most interesting stuff isn’t coming from the established big agencies (or clients). Small seems to be better. I’ll report fully in a week or so.
It was great seeing people though. Will and Charles were there, I met Helen for the first time and we had lunch. She’s a lovely and Comfortably Disorientated in person as she is online. I also had met Beeker for the first time. We both had coffee with Russell. She was very patient with the Star Wars geekery.
I was very thankful they were there. I always feel out of place at these things. I’m far too shy to go up to people I don’t know and usually end up shrinking into a corner hoping no one will notice me.
It was a shame I missed the evening – and Lauren. But Friday night was the first night of my holiday. I wanted to get home to Mrs NP.
That’s really it now. ‘Bye.
