Five Things On Friday Newsletter with Digital Director James Whatley

Ice Cream for Everyone Podcast

Special occasion as I'm writing this on my father's 70th birthday! I'm on holidays in the South of France, running around to post this episode of the podcast slightly in advance compared to the Wednesday publishing day because there's a high chance tomorrow would be too difficult to publish online after celebrations planned tonight - and that's of course due to the fact the house I'm staying at doesn't have an internet connection, rather than any consequences of a potentially inebriated evening.

For those who follow I also skipped the online release of the previous week's Ice Cream Sundae newsletter, I'll publish it in a few days instead. For those who wish to be up to date, the best way is to subscribe to the list and get it directly in your inbox!

Great episode today! I had a fantastic catch up with my friend James Whatley aka Whatleydude a few weeks ago, w.e had a fun conversation and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed having the conversation. James is the Digital Director for Ogilvy & Mather in London, one of the largest advertising agencies in the world. He also co-hosts a weekly audio podcast called The Voicemail with Stefan Constantinescu, where the latest mobile technology news, and write an excellent weekly newsletter called "5 Things on Friday". We talk about those and a lot of his other projects and activities in the episode including some travels, arts, comic books, gaming, advertising, digital marketing and more.
