POST DIGITAL

Help us #MakeTheStage at @InternetWeek

I love spring!  Not just because it symbolizes a re-birth each year, but because it's a run up to the best internet & mobile shows. First up, Internet Week which runs from May 14 to May 21.  I will be there from the opening party to the closing ceremonies.

We have a great topic this year: The Post-Digital Age. 

As many of your know, over the years, I have demonstrated that all media is social with the right idea. Now it's time to discuss the greater ramifications of this to the brand world and the agency business. 

Given that all customers are digital & social -- now the day of the Digital & Social AOR is quickly dying and all agencies are expected to be digital. From media planning to creative the game has completely changed new agency models are winning big business with Transmedia story telling and hard core business results. When the old ways begin to give way to something yet to be imagined, we have a choice. Live in the past or get down to the business of imaging the future. What will you do and how will you organize around your the brands you represent in this new post digital age??

ON: A Hired Gun's Starbucks Substitue

A place to relax, answer e-mail and ideate.

Want a place to sit back have a light lunch, watch beautiful people and occasionally look at your treo phone? 202 Cafe is that place.
202 is located at 75 Ninth Avenue between 15th & 16th.

The scene was perfect for a quiet cool lunch on a hot and sticky day. Situated inside Chelsea Market, designer Nicole Farhi's culinary venture spreads out across the wood-beamed loft that features her clothing and furniture line.

I had the Arugula, lentil , beets and artichoke salad and a delightful desert that featured rhubarb in a tart with a lemon gelato. The service was superb and in the know. The entire experience down to the tab was flawless.  Put Starbucks on the backburner and head over to 202 Café for the perfect bootstrapped day.

ON:Outings | Hanging w/ The Boyz

Hanging with the boys at the 5Ninth in the village. 
  At a night toasting me to bigger and better things in my career, with fellow blogger Jennifer Leuzzi (http://www.snack.blogs.com) , I enjoyed the company of people who get “it” on many levels.  Chef and Musician extraordinaire, Mario Batali and Michael Stipe, helped me realize… It’s just a job – get back up, dust yourself off, take two Tylenol before bed and get back out there.
