Things I’d like to write about and debate with the design industry 🧵
Media businesses are perfectly positioned to take advantage of the Minimum Viable Audience: “The Lean Startup Method Is Outdated —Try This Instead” by Lisa Mariá Centeno link.medium.com/sMM72COwPhb
Ok - i did what I needed to do, today. Tomorrow the grind starts again. I am dropping the 5th episode of #TheNextChapter with Palesa Segomotso Motsumi this week. I have such a beautiful conversation with @Unodewaal. We spoke in the thick of the lockdown in 2020.
At PayPal, I once wasted $1M on a marketing segmentation to build personas. Here’s what we actually learned, plus what I now do instead. 👇🏼
I've built online communities since I was 14, and have interviewed 100's of successful community builders and founders. Here's what I've learned about building great communities: 🧵
Today I found out: 99 per cent of the organisation's (the CPA) annual expenditure of $172 million was broken down into just four line items. Insane accounting practice... afr.com/policy/economy…
The biggest story in tech no one’s talking about is Uber discovering they’d been defrauded out of $100M - or 2/3 of their ad spend. And all bc Sleeping Giants kept bugging them to block their ads on Breitbart.
I’ve gotten a lot of bad advice in my career and I see even more of it here on Twitter. Time for a stiff drink and some truth you probably dont want to hear. 👇👇
Aaaaand... advertising
Aaaaand... advertising
@david_perell Everything is easier once you have an audience. Launches are simple. Opportunities come to you. Plus, attention is flexible: you can direct it toward any future project. Also, I'm not interested in managing a big team and one person with a big audience can still make a splash.
‘That innovation budget has gone’: Publishers adapt to thwarted branded content studio growth digiday.com/media/that-inn…
Today I learned... The white man in this photo was Peter Norman from Australia who finished 2nd the 1968 200m final. Norman stood in solidarity with the American Black athletes. It was Norman who suggested, when discovered they only had 1 pair of gloves, to each wear one. (cont)

[THREAD] 10 Trends Being Accelerated By Covid19
A proposal, actually a plea, from several doctors on the frontline of COVID-19: Those with new loss of smell should be advised to self-isolate and be tested. This simple manoeuvre could save lives.
@Dr_Draper Charlotte Leonard on me about to give a speech on ‘creative bravery’. ‘NILS. FUCK OFF. FIREMEN GET TO TALK ABOUT BRAVERY. YOU SIT IN EDIT SUITES AND MAKE SHORT FILMS ABOUT CHEESE OR SOME SHIT. YOU DON’T GET TO TALK ABOUT BRAVERY.’ I love her to this day. @Ms_C_Leonard
Owner of between 10 and 5, @Unodewaal encourages us to have an understanding of who we give back to in the projects we take on, and most importantly - work as much as you can to learn as much as you can. 💪
MEGATHREAD TIME: In 40 tweets I will describe 40 powerful concepts for understanding the world. Some are complex so forgive me for oversimplifying, but the main purpose is to incite curiosity. Okay, here we go:

Things I’d like to write about and debate with the design industry 🧵
Playing with some no code tools this morning. I just created an app in 30 minutes that would have taken an engineer days to build from scratch. Yes, it comes with massive trade offs but speed and learning are often the #1 priority when building something new.
For the past few years, I've been building products. But up until a few months ago, I was doing it all wrong. Here are 4 principles that I now follow everyday when working on Typeshare. 🧵👇
My name is officially on the @24hoursoflemans entry list 🤩 assets.lemans.org/explorer/pdf/c…
Companies usually approach community in a way that I think is backwards. They build community in order to make people use their product. Instead, they should focus on how their product can be a path to community. Community is the goal. Your product is the means.
After five years, I'm wrapping things up at BBC News, and starting in a Product Director role @Spotify after the summer. That’s the end of a decade of working in media product. A few things I've learned... /1
