Last Friday Dave Buonaguidi, founder and Creative Director of Karmarama, came to my school for a guest lecture. He’s a no bull-shit-get-the-hell-out-of-here-character. I did a creative placement for a month over Easter at the agency in West Kesington and you realised after a second into the first crit that it wasn’t the [...]

agencies and social media

The best blog on the internet, From The Head Of Zeus Jones, writes about a growing occurrence in ad land. That traditional agencies have nothing to benefit from teaching companies about social media and how to use it.
I also think that agencies focus on communications and their belief that they should be paid to create [...]

services

Sometimes when you write what you hold as an original thought, it has been written about hundreds of times in the same sense, only to in the end go back to the actual original thought in a published article. On most of the blog posts you read you will find a “via” link in the [...]

social storytelling

Adverblog writes about Audis branded entertainment project Meet the Beckers. It’s an online sit com telling the story of the Becker family who is gathering at home for Thanksgiving. All of the characters are reflected by their casr, the dominant father called The Commander drives a Mercedes (and doesn’t know how to work it), the [...]

grad schemes

Busy like a motherfucker writing my Graduate Scheme application for AMV BBDO with its deadline on Friday. It’s a sincere feeling of relief writing a curse word after all those pretty ones I’ve been spitting out over the last week. The week after AMV’s deadline it’s BBH, BMB, DDB and DLKW deadlines. Never have I [...]

The PR programme on my school puts on a great pair of guest lectures called PRfutures these coming terms and it all kicked off yesterday with Sao Bui- Van who is Vice President of Communications for MTV Networks in the UK. First a rather long run through of his career which is always interesting but [...]

Social capital, what is and what’s not

Photo I took that is shared on my Flickr account.
PSFK highlights a very interesting fact that Techcrunchies highlighted in a Rotor Blog report that highlights figures they found in a Caroline McCarthy article on CNET News. Let’s see if anyone highlights anything from this post.
Apparently Facebook has 10 billion photos uploaded to it whilst Flickr [...]

Guns doesn’t shoot films

I went to the BFI London Film Festival on Sunday, a series of 5 shorts were presented. The short films’ theme was young people around the world and their experiences on the streets. I know that the movies were chosen after this theme not created for it but some of the things they had in [...]

monday night torrents

Mondays are the days when I connect with TV. It’s the only time that I ever use the medium, and I do it on my laptop. The restlessness that consumes my whole body after 5 minutes in front of a TV is unbearable and I resort to books, movies, blogs or online newscasts where I [...]

I’m now finally hosting my own blog. After about 4 years of blogging I’m no longer under a subdomain but easily found under www.alfredmalmros.com. Update your RSS and bookmarks, your starting page if that’s the case and let’s get it on.
