Busy busy busy

Have had a busy few days, so no time to post. Monday night was spent at The Arts Club with the delightful Phil Jones and old time buddy Jane Austin, who runs http://www.austinobrien.co.uk/. There were a few others there too, but I'll spare their names to protect the innocent! Even had a romantic entanglement, which was v nice. Let's see how long he's nice for.
Yesterday was spent talking digital. Had a meeting with an agency in the morning, which hopefully will result in some work. Then had lunch with Amanda Harrison, another old friend who runs a very good PR company, http://www.amandaharrisonmedia.co.uk/. We spent a good couple of hours dissecting the media industry at the Med Kitchen, in Charing Cross road.

All this meant that I was late for my last meeting in Croydon.
I've finally got to the bottom of the Olympics saga. It seems NBC is not selling digital only space, instead it will sell a package, which is quite astute. Brands that want to get the huge online audience will have to buy the TV air too. Maybe this is the way broadcasters can actually make money out of internet advertising. With spots on the Olympics going for millions, it could mean a huge amount of revenue for NBC. And of course, MSN who will have negotiated themselves a nice big slice of the pie.
