Looking Good Billy Ray…
Claire Beale in her Campaign leader last week said, ‘2012 is a good time to be starting out, or starting up, or stopping, rethinking and starting again’. She adds that ‘ditching the corporate frustrations in favour of a new approach has got to be an exhilarating choice’. Whilst we’re not an agency, the sentiment is 100% relevant …
2012 thinking

London calling
In just under 2 weeks the London office of Watch Me Think opens, ready for the new year, following some great successes from the Australian office since it opened in the second half of 2011. We’re working with some amazing clients, as I’ve written about before, and the list just keeps growing. These clients are …

All about the people.. from 2 to 3….
The best advice we ever got was from Mark Collier of Dare (thanks Mark). On one of the first occasions I met him, after explaining I was planning to start a business, he said it was crucial to make sure I knew (really knew) I could work with the person I was planning to go …
Two pints of ale and two packets of crisps
Lots of people have asked us why we created watchmethink and what we believe in. But more have asked where the idea came from. Well it’s a good story (to us!) but also incredibly simple. The co-founders (John and Vince) used to work together in Sydney (for two years before one of them went back …

As we shift gear towards the month of September watchmethink is in an extremely exciting place – we couldn’t be busier, and we’re loving every minute. Here are some of the things we got up to in August. We appointed the agency we wanted to work with – we’re really pleased to be working with …
