My 2011 with Edelman in Review

This post was originally published on Robin Hamman’s website Cybersoc.com.

Usually, on the last day of the working year, I write a post that reviews the past 12 months. Well, I spent my last day of work last year flying from London Heathrow to Frankfurt, back to Heathrow, across to London Luton then off to Gdansk so didn’t quite manage to maintain the tradition.

But that explanation is a great start for my 2011 post as I spent…

Germany Digital Agency Gosub Joins Edelman Digital

Another day, another piece of big, exciting news for Edelman Digital.

I’m pleased to announce that today, Berlin-based interactive agency Gosub joined Edelman Digital.

Gosub describes itself as interactive, interdisciplinary, and always a bit ahead of its time. I loved this, because it also sounds a lot like Edelman Digital.

Gosub was founded in 1997, and has been delivering super-creative digital solutions to clients in Germany and elsewhere ever since. They’ve got strong credentials across the full suite of creative and tech…

Phil Gomes: Edelman Digital Sensei

I met Phil Gomes about four years ago when I was still working on the traditional PR side at Edelman. We worked together on a number of accounts and he played a big part in pushing some great (and very traditional) brands out of their comfort zone and into the social media space at a time when it was not quite as in vogue as it is today. Needless to say, he quickly earned the respect of both the client and myself (and aside from his digital brilliance, he’s kinda fun to work with!).

I recently got to pick Phil’s brain and among other things, I got some more…
