TODAY
23 July
05:30 and hard to believe that email traffic has started already quarterly media buying review this morning likely to provide insights into the effect of economic down turn on ITV rate sheet. Likely to be relatively good news for the buying pound as media owners chase diminishing investments.
22 July
Farewell drinks for the quite excellent Major Emily Hewitt, along with Marketing Manager interviews for London District. First time I have heard of a interviewee informing of non attendance by SMS...standards slipping in the industry.
21 July
I feel compelled to give a product endorsement for the Canon G9, which at 12 Megapixels is one of the most outstanding cameras I have seen. The detail in snaps is phenomenal and the imaging system and software package is quite brilliant...and yes I have just bought one, shame it can't improve the subject matter itself!
12 July
Fairford cancelled the International Airshow today and must have turned away a gate of 50,000 people as the rain had flooded the car parks; the brave and foolhardy attended the village fete and our chickens finally produced a couple of eggs, I think that's called Bathos...spent the morning penning a response to the letters appearing in the Wilts and Glos Standard on my Facebook "CDC Rubbish Rage" news group...the power of the digital lobby!
11 July
Very civilised lunch meeting at Lords watching England knock the South African visitors out of the park...in between the heavens opening up.
9 July
Back up for air after a 48 Army Management Board...hard going but really pleased with the level of activity taking place nationally and regionally the network is really showing its capability. Some great campaign plans coming up with Launches on Sept 1 and Jan 1.
6 July
Prepping for Management board next week...
Some nice feedback from the Revolution Digital Marketing Conference,
Mark,
I just wanted to write a quick note to thank you again for your involvement in yesterday’s conference. There was some fantastic feedback to the conference in general, and your session in particular, including one delegate’s summary ‘Mark Bainbridge and the Army campaigns were fascinating – real food for thought!’

Saddened today by the news of Fallen Heroes from UKSF, colleagues who we walked the Brecon Beacons with just last year. Thoughts are with the regiment, friends and family.

Hot foot back from addressing the Revolut!on Digital Workshop in Chepstow this evening. Got to say what a really nice group of people and they stayed awake throughout my ramblings.

I hope you enjoy your visit
