    1) Impressions, impressions, impressions. When you produce more content, you get more impressions. Does that mean they are good impressions? Is our future about impressions or good work? Quality and craft are the foundation of our business. Quality over quantity. Less is more.

    2) “Fearless Girl” and “We’re the Superhumans” were so good. Simple and thoughtful. Great concepts that were well executed. Plays to less is more.

    3) I would say “Fearless Girl” by far. The message is strong and timely. Simple and thoughtful. The “impressions” were there because it was impressive. Relevant. In this case, do the impressions matter? No. It’s great for what it is and that’s why people reacted the way they did.

    4) I don’t believe in crystal balls but love the Magic 8 Ball. I’d love to see thoughtful and meaningful work that has an impact on human beings. Don’t get me wrong, I realize we’re in a business of selling goods or services. My hope is to be part of and see work that makes a difference.

    5) The recent awards shows have shown that things that make a difference will be recognized. Good work in general will be recognized. I’d love to see a lot more good work in general which will come from clients being fearless while not focusing on impressions. Look at Superhumans, Audi “Duel”, etc. Simple and entertaining.

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
