Podcasts worth listening to

Podcasts have had a renaissance in the last year. I find them useful for learning, thinking and entertainment. They’re perfect when commuting, driving, showering or doing chores around the house. Here are the podcasts I’m listening to at the moment. I don’t listen to every episode, but there’s always something worth dipping in to. I’ve […]

Moving on to something new

Eight years ago today, I walked into a small serviced office in Covent Garden. Four-and-a-half desks was the grand total of Efficient Frontier in Europe. Mine was the half.I gave myself three months to check out whether the technology they said they had really did what it claimed. Otherwise I’d be off and back to […]

My posts on other blogs

A few weeks since I’ve posted on this blog, but I have had a few articles put in other places. On Econsultancy I wrote about cross-channel attribution and optimisation.

I’m speaking on Tuesday 16th on the keynote “State of the […]

Efficient Frontier Search Theatre @ ad:tech London

It’s ad:tech London in a couple of weeks (22-23 September) and I’m very excited about the Efficient Frontier Search Theatre. This year at ad:tech we’ve decided to try something a little different, so we’re putting on an array of sessions about different aspects search. There are 7 free sessions each day, and we’ve timed them […]

Back in June

I’ve not managed a post since March, and this one will be the only one in May. I’m afraid other things have kept very busy, including exciting changes at Efficient Frontier. But the main thing that’s kept me busy is something else. I’ll let this man hint at what that is:
