A frustrating pitch experience and a great time in Amsterdam with the first CoCities Salon and fine coffee.

People keep telling us that they like our week notes a lot. Thanks for reading them. But at the last #fatsix somebody mentioned to me that while he likes our approach, we do sound very chipper about everything that is happening. I like hearing this kind of feedback. An outside perspective is very, very important. [...]

What a week! What a weekend! We’re packed with last-minute client work, we’re bringing CoCities to Amsterdam, we went to London for Interesting2011 and hung out with the London geeks, and we’ve been thinking about travel. (Also, we missed some flights.)

We’ve been thinking about diversification a lot, we had a BBQ, we’ll visit London and there’s a Cognitive Cities Salon coming up.

Thinking about work-life balance and how to write better proposals for our clients.

Last week was fun. A lot of fun. We met a bunch of new people, like Kelli and Darius from Wells Fargo. They found us on the interwebs and asked us if we wanted to meet during their visit to Berlin. And so we did. Very interesting conversations, and a great chance to swap insights [...]

This past week was all about Next Conference, about Cognitive Cities Salons, about meeting folks. And about meeting folks about CoCities at Next, of course. Enjoy your week!

Despite our experience, we don’t describe Third Wave as a social media agency but we also think that we’ve ain’t seen nothing yet in social media, nevertheless. Read the week note for more of our take on social media, where it’s going and what else we’ve been up to last week.

Seems like I broke the monday release pattern for the week note. Berlin is testing our resolve to stay focused and in the office these days. It’s warm, it’s shiny and it’s … well … Berlin. Still, we managed to accomplish quite a few things in this last week.

Just recently we passed our 6 month mark, so we’re officially out of the wood. That said, let’s have a look at what we’ve been up to since, and at what’s ahead. Also: a four day work week, a video of our Uncomfortable Talk, and Friday at six.
