Up @TechHubManc recruiting #B2Brand startups @Collider12

A great day up in Manchester @TechHubManc talking to 'B2Brand' startups during 'Office Hour'. The startup recruitment drive for @Collider12 is well and truly up and running. There's a great deal happening up there and as @TechHubManc is only 5 minutes walk from the station I got to stay for @TechBasinBeers too!

New Laws for the Digital World

"When nearly all customers touch-points are going digital, every brand is going to have to become a software company". From, "Velocity: The Seven New Laws for a World Gone Digital" by Ajaz Ahmed.

Be Unconventional and Live

Watching a recent presentation by Bonin Bough, the VP-global media and consumer engagement at Mondelez, he ended this energetic pitch with one message, "Consumer brands need to innovate their conventional marketing approaches or they will die". He reiterated this warning at his recent Advertising Week keynote. Working with startups is the best way for consumer packaged goods companies to do so - get involved and don't miss out on the vast talent, innovation and unconventional energy that startups have.
