May 27th, 2022

I joined LinkedIn in May 2005, and other than the occasional professional announcement or moment of self-promotion, have used my feed as a place to share industry news and analysis that I found interesting, with the thinking that if you followed me, then you may find it interesting too. Needless to say, over those seventeen years I have been prone to intermittent oversharing of my always-on media diet, resulting in some of the best being overlooked.

So today I have decided to try something new - a weekly snapshot of each the previous seven days' "best" of what I've been reading, listening to, and watching from here and around the world, with a focus on the business of media and entertainment, marketing, tech, hospitality, gaming and sports.

It is a bit of fun, though of curious to see if (and where) it lands.

If I'm missing anything, or there are things you think are worth sharing, do drop me a line.

Keep me posted and let me know what you think.
