Friends

I’ve been meaning to add links to some good people who do good writing for a while. So, here they are… (and, yes, I’m just starting with the list). I’ll add people here who hungrily contribute original thought frequently to the digital world – and that I’ve had either beer or coffee with… in the flesh.

Seb Chan
Seb used to host the radio show before mine on 2SER. I then gave him a hand with Electro Summit, part of This Is Not Art in Newcastle. He now is the head of digital things at Powerhouse Museum where he’s unleashing things the museum’s kept in the closet… onto the digital public.

Julian Cole
JC is a social media superstar. I love how he pretends that he’s not competitive.

Nick Crocker
Nick roams Australia working with record labels. He helps them work out the digital world. Then he writes about it. He’s also one of the keen minds behind We Are Hunted.

Tip Gloria
I worked with Tip at Leo Burnett where she was Executive Producer. She’s funny – like her husband, Mal.

Gavin Heaton
Gavin writes heaps and is read by a tonne of people. He runs one of the most read marketing blogs in Australia. He’s also key to Sydney’s Friday Coffee Mornings.

Lynne Johnson
I’ve known Lynne for a bunch of years now. She used to run Vibe online when I was busy with Stealth. She’s currently at Fast Company and is a bit of an activist with black people in America and blogging – especially black women.

Jye Smith
Jye’s tops. I’d call him an up-comer but that’s pretty patronising. So I won’t. I’ll just say that I would. He’s into heavy metal – he even sings and stuff – and social media.

Natalie Tran
Natalie Tran probably gets watched more in one week than Rove… and does it all online.

Stalkernomics
This is another blog I’m working on with Ben Phillips, fellow strategy maker.

Stealth Magazine
My baby. First published in 1999. The first full colour hip hop magazine… with CD in the Southern Hemisphere. Now a vibrant community with about 15,000 visits per month.

Aisea Laungaue
Top strategic thinker currently at Saatchi and Saatchi.
