The past few months have seen several buyouts in the design space, notably Accenture’s recent acquisition of Fjord. Moving Brands’ Mat Heinl predicts what it might mean for the design consultancy model. The acquired: the rising stars All of the…

Has the Bitcoin bubble burst?
It was a bubble many predicted to burst. Bitcoin, after a meteoric rise in the wake of the Cypriot banking crisis, lost half its value in just six hours. Launched in 2009, the digital decentralised currency was previously the domain of hackers,…

3D printing will bring about the end of the production chain as we know it: Discuss
Up until now, the big stories in 3D printing have generally been consigned to the novelty pile. But 2013 looks set to be the year 3D printing is speculated about in terms of practical use, with some even claiming…

Is the financial sector ready for design-lead innovation?
Recently MB’s Mat Heinl spoke at the Anthemis Senior Executive Roundtable, at the launch of their Innovation Jury Report. The theme of the fireside chat was ‘Innovation through design in the physical and digital world.’ Mat joined Anthemis Founder Sean…

Well, why wouldn’t we wear it?
The 2.0 era is an odd paradigm. The rate of development in technology, research and innovation is at such a pace that we must constantly remark upon it, wonder at it, and never quite get used it. Our ideas of…

The un-friend-dead
After a particularly gripping (and somewhat creepy) episode of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror last night, we came across this site liveson.org - with the catchy tagline “When your heart stops beating, you’ll keep tweeting.” A tweet later, we found out that…

Super Bowl 2013 roundup

Hacking Branding with Good for Nothing
Last weekend I attended Good for Nothing’s Future Youth gig, a hack(ish) event where strategists, designers and technologists spent two days working to solve problems for non-profit organisations. Or, as one organiser described from his perspective, Good for Nothing asked them…

2012 round up part 7 – you have been watching…
2012 was a year full of watercooler moments. Some very distracting ones at that, as the Olympics and UEFA European championship interfered perfectly with the Moving Brands work calendar. It doesn’t help when live online streaming of events has become…

2012 round up part 6 – innovation saturation
2012 was the year of innovation saturation, where the term entered the household lexicon and hit religious-like status among business people and politicians alike. Innovation as a solve-all was heavily bantered around 2012’s U.S. Presidential elections. There was also no…

2012 round up part 5 – Madefire

2012 round up part 4 – Omnishambles
Omnishambles; officially your word of 2012. I quite like it really. Qualified by the great and fictitious Malcolm Tucker as ‘You’re like that coffee machine, you know, “From bean to cup, you fuck up.”‘ it does exactly what it says…

2012 round up part 3 – celebrating our institutions
There is no denying that 2012 was the year of sport and celebration. The Olympics brought us all together under the banner of sport and human excellence, but for those of us not so sport inclined, there was still plenty…

2012 round up part 2 – surprise and substance
Looking back at the year that has gone, 2012 was indeed tainted with the seriousness of a double dip recession. It was a year where conventions were being questioned and artists who were different to the norm began to truly…

D&AD President’s Lectures – The Digital Revolution 2.0

Of journos and bad spelling
It was fleeting, but as of 2pm today “Lance Amstrong” was trending worldwide. This unfortunately was not shocking. A sad and deeply troubling story, it will have lasting repercussions for cycling and professional sports as a whole. But hang on,…
