I’m in Manchester this week to attend bTWEEN08, where I’ll be sharing ideas with other digital entrepreneurs from thoughout the UK.

• My agency Hai Media Group is a finalist in the Branding Talent competition at bTWEEN08, and from what I can tell, this may be a bit like The Apprentice, Dragon’s Den and X-Factor all rolled into one for entrepreneur’s in digital media. Along with my media partner Isabella Hu, who’s design portfolio can be seen at Ecolocate.org, we’ll be offering our seed idea for our Rare Fruits campaign concept for Littlewoods. We’ve worked hard together to come up what we think is a client winning proposal to build excitement and customers for littlewoodsdirect.com.
