Hunting With Pixels is a social activity, so we’d much prefer to hunt in a pack.
We love our new place in Camperdown (right next to Newtown), but love needs to be shared so we’re looking for a small company or solo flyer who needs a quiet, spacious office to work. We offer nice people, good location, funky furniture, decent broadband and a shared kitchen/waiting area.
People we share values with; hard working, considerate to others, flexible, fun to be around.
$ 180 for half the office: you can fit 2-3 desks in there quite easily. We’re rarely there at the moment so you pretty much have the place to yourself, which makes it a super bargain! If you just want to desk talk to us; 1300 505 262 or contact us through the contact page. 
Jon Holloway is managing director at TCO and has some very interesting insights in the state of advertising. Here’s how Jon sums up his attitude towards advertising:
“Hate the word social media, hate the way media is planned and sold, hate marketing BS, dislike talkers with no action, hate the word innovation, love just taking a risk and trying stuff.”
What we love about Ignite is that you get around ten presentation in one night, most of which pack as much information as the average 45 minute keynote but now you’re not sitting in a conference centre trying to not nod off. Instead, you’re in the very rock and roll Oxford Art Factory with instant access to a bar. Much, much better.
We’re video sponsors for Ignite. Why? Because we just love the event. We would have been there anyway, we just bring along a camera or two. Check out the line up of the next Marketing Ignite, it’s going to be interesting! Pop by an say hello/ have a beer with us in the break: http://marketing.ignitesydney.com/
Brilliant, funny video by the man behind the successful EEV video blog: Dave Jones. Filmed at Ignite Sydney in 2013: Ignite Sydney is a regular event that’s based on the principle of Pecha Kucha. Speakers get exactly 5 minutes and 20 slides that change automatically.
The forced brevity create very well considered, short form content. Ideal for video!
Before doing their presentation for a packed Oxford Art Factory, the speakers get coached on presentation and slides by the lovely people at presentation studio. Its amazing to see what an outsider’s perspective can do to shape ideas. .

It’s great to have an ad on Youtube that gets views, but it’s important to consider where your viewers go next. Here an ad for a cruise planning company is followed by suggestions of videos of crashing planes: 
Three things;
It’s annoying, but you can’t Youtube’s default related videos” function on your Youtube channel. However, there is a hack. You can delay the related videos from playing by tweaking annotation. Bear with me:
Or just use Vimeo; no pop ups, no ads and a lot more control. But that’s another blog post.
Having lived and cycled in Sydney for 6 years, I’ve grown accustomed to occasional bad attitudes towards cycling in Sydney. And that’s from someone moving here from London. This is why when riding in Sydney I go out of my way to not offend people in any way possible, just to prevent the inevitable totally over the top reaction. By not offending I mean, trying to dissolve into thin air, which I’m sure we’ll have an app for soon. Sydney siders just don’t seem to like cyclists.

That is, unless they ride themselves. Then we ‘cyclists’ form huge pelotons of Lycra Nazis blocking Anzac Parade at 8.30 or blindly running their Fixie Without Lights into Oxford street while running the red lights. Thing is, I don’t identify with either side of this ‘discussion’.
I’m not a ‘cyclist’. I’m just someone who sometimes gets around on a bike, sometimes I use a car. Sometimes I walk, sometimes catch a train. Cyclists are just like real people!
But then the Greencliff people take this nonsense to an entirely different level. Check out the sign they put on my bike when I parked it on Alexandra Drive last week: 
Now it would be easy to laugh about this, because it is kinda ridiculous; obviously Greencliff agent drive their BMW’s with a stack of preprinted notices for cyclist in their booth.
There’s no way for me to check what Greencliff’s policies are apart from threatening to steal/damage other people’s property. Can I call them to ask:
Where does ‘this location’ start and end? Who is ‘building management/security’? Or are you just making this up as you go by making a generic flyer and plastering it all over place? I would have loved to sit in at the meeting when Greencliff decided this would be a good idea.
I don’t like being run over, so I do my best to be as considerate as humanly possible.
I highly doubt that Greenfield has the legal mandate to damage and confiscate bikes, so I’m going to do what any self respecting social video producer would:
I’m going to put a Gopro on my mate’s balcony and see if we can capture some Greenfield Cycling Hating Bolt Cutter Wielding ‘security and management’ types. 
Keep you posted! Do you have any experiences like this? I’d love to hear about it!
We are really honoured to have set up the shoot for the first Mojo Sessions, the new project of Gary Bertwistle, a leader in innovation and creativity whose passion is making people think differently. With these series of short interviews, Gary aims at showing us the human, innovative and creative part of some of today’s Australian Business Leaders. The shoot took place at a very intimate spot: the Chapel at St Andrew’s College in front of a live audience of students from the Sydney University. During the shoot, we didn’t only had the pleasure to chat with Gary about his idea of having a one on one conversation in a special spot but we also had the chance to chat with his top level interviewees about leadership, entrepreneurship, their different motivations and inspirations that drove them along their paths. This was just the very first chapter of a series of short interviews where the audience will get a human perspective of some of Australia’s top business leaders. Stay tuned to get inspired and moved by Tim Power, managing director of 3PLearning; Professor Michelle Haber, head of the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia; and Bruno Maurel, Chairman of Creative Activation. And last but not least, we would like thanks our crew for making it happen: Tomas Ybarra, Dimitri Zaunders, Stephen Rangott, Alex Bradshaw, Spencer, Virginie Laverdure, Cristina Alonso and Robert Moorman.
[/one_third][one_third] We love working in two of the most liveable cities in the world: Melbourne and Sydney. We also have production partners in Brisbane and Perth.[/one_third][one_third] People behind the brand are what we are about, so we’d love to meet you in person! [/one_third]
Hi everyone, Here’s version 04 of the video with the changes implemented:

I’ve lived and worked in four different countries in the past 15 years. As a dutch person, I don’t have a choice but to speak the language of the locals; I my case English and German. It’s an experience I wouldn’t have wanted to miss in the world. What’s interesting about speaking a different language over a long period of time is that you at some point you start thinking in the language.
What strikes me about that is that different languages have a very different way of describing the world, and as a result you look at the world in a different way. 
I’m a different person when I think and speak dutch then when I think and speak english. What I’m interested in exploring in the project are the words that exist in other languages that English doesn’t really have a translation for?
Culture is about how people interact and think, and as a result languages describe situations that other languages don’t have a word for, just descriptions.
Sometimes you try to express something, but the word just isn’t there. It’s not because you lack in knowledge of the English language, but the word just doesn’t exist. Is there a word in your language that doesn’t have a direct translation in English?
We want to highlight the fun side of diversity. Show english speakers that there’s a whole world of culture that is worth checking out; it’s about appreciation of diversity. Different cultures bring different perspectives, which is enriching for all of us. To make the video connect to the audience, we’d like to take a light hearted, humorous approach. If you have any word in your language that’s funny or unexpected; brilliant! It’s also important that the work tells us something about your culture; so our audience gains appreciation for what your culture is about.
A series of short, funny clips where people of various cultures share a word with us. We put them in a setting that visualised the culture and the situation the word applies to.
We’d love to take this content beyond this project; we’re working on a site around the theme that will go open source so others can get involved so we can grow this together. Drop us a line!
Social video is the kind of video that you’d forward to a colleague or friend. Typically our audience forwards videos because they’re: – Hilarious – Useful
Unless you’re Dame Edna, you’re probably not hilarious. But what you can offer something that people can do something with. What’s not social Your promo video. No matter how amazing it looks, it’s still a business pitch. Not bad on your home page. Not any good anywhere else, especially on social media. Don’t bore people with self promotion; give them something they can use, establish yourself as an expert. Be generous. http://vimeo.com/59710960
