Get your own back!
I have joined forces with iCandi Apps to create an iPhone app that allows you to get your own back on these telesales callers who don’t understand ‘no’.
For just 59p (UK) or 99 cents (USA) You can download the Telesales Annoyer app, to get your own back every time they won’t get off your phone, and you …

There are always periods in anyone’s personal or professional life where things can be a bit of a challenge, and it can feel like things are moving nowhere. We are told time and time again that you should just persist and strive through adversity, which I do completely agree with. Eventually, you will hit your target if you work for it.
I think this video demonstrates perfectly how persistence pays off!

As any Apple follower will know by now, we have the imminent release (June 24th) of the much-anticipated iPhone 4, the fourth generation iPhone (not 4G as many people have been stating, as it still runs on 3G technology, carriers can’t currently handle 4G).

Things over the past year have been picking up very well, word has spread, and the marketing efforts both online and off are really beginning to pay off.
It’s just the most satisfying feeling when you can see the results happen in front of your eyes. Long hours have been spent travelling the country …

This last week has been a funny old week, really. Few jobs on the go, doing some ads for a radio station down south. And I have a new client (or about to, rather) who gave me a rather nice surprise on Friday!
I’m due to record a voiceover for a video they’re producing. It’s fairly low budget, but I agreed anyway as the project sounded interesting. I suppose that’s the nice thing about what I do, I could easily have said no, but what’s the point? It’s money (which is …
