archiving the day

My name is Phillip. I'm a 29 year old account planner,or brand planner, or strategist or whatever you want to call it at an "internet" advertising agency called razorfish in New York. I've worked for retail giants, pro-sports teams, electronics, on big american cars, and come up with quite a few inappropriate ideas for male hygiene products. My job entails explaining social concepts and trying to generally be "up" on stuff like trends, people's habits, media, the things that may interest my clients (especially when they have no idea how it would interest them). I live in the East Village (best place I've ever called home) and like attend loud concerts as well as quiet ones. Food and drink is also a big part of my off time pursuits.

This is some of the stuff I run into on a daily basis.

"the way to be interesting is to be interested" -R. Davies, Important ad guy

thenextweb: Here is my feeling, not Buddy Media’s view, but my controversial personal view: in order to have a successful social network you need two groups, celebrities and women There’s never been a social network that has taken off and didn’t have celebrities and women. That is one thing that’s holding back Google it’s primarily men right now, but it’s still very early and it is a work in progress. When you look at the Nielsen social media report and what’s the largest concentration of young women and celebrities right now, it’s on Tumblr. Barack Obama started his campaign Tumblr you have the Lady Gaga and so many more. Celebrities are all over Tumblr like they were on Twitter, that’s what grew it. I think you wanna invest ahead of that curve, it’s happening when a celebrity says you can follow me there, when a date says connect with me here instead of Facebook, that’s how these movements get started.

Watch a bike disappear in 365 days. 

LIFECYCLE: 365 days in the life of a bike in NYC (by RedPeakVideos)

“Last year, we conducted a unique urban experiment for Hudson Urban Bicycles. On January 1, 2011 we chained a fully loaded bike — bells, basket, lights and more — to a post along a busy Soho street. We took a picture of the bike everyday for 365 days, watching it slowly vanish before our eyes. The photos we took were then turned into a daily calendar. We call this project LIFECYCLE: 365 days in the life of a bike in NYC.”

“ Potential for abuse is rampant. As Public Knowledge points out, Google could easily take it upon itself to delist every viral video site on the internet with a “good faith belief” that they’re hosting copyrighted material. Leaving YouTube as the only major video portal. Comcast (an ISP) owns NBC (a content provider). Think they might have an interest in shuttering some rival domains? Under SOPA, they can do it without even asking for permission. What Is SOPA?

Very proud to have worked on this first of its kind, crowd-sourced graphic novel. If brands are to survive and thrive on Facebook they have to keep engaging in new and interesting ways.
