@mightybarnski That’s paying through the nose.
But I bet it’s a spoof.

@DesignMuseum Opposites in style, yet equally mesmerizing: Panton and Pawson.

@NoContextBrits What happens if you drink tea after midnight?

@faris @JCPHankins @rich_kirk Books & barbells.
My core to not loosing it in this industry that massively and consistently overvalues loud & fast over long & deep.

@hourlyFox Golden jackal?

@analogplanet @technics Used to have 4 in my DJ days…
Now still a 1210mkII + 1210GR connected to an Isonoe ISO420 mixer so I can DJ if the mood gets me: switch mats, Ortofon 2M black / Denon DL-A110 out, concorde pro in, pure dj joy.
My Michell Orbe sounds better but doesn’t do backcueing very well 😁

@tomfgoodwin DTC/subscription brand by Chinese company Geely. They also own Volvo & Polestar + share platforms & tech.

Solid business/ marketing/ brand strat.

Accidently witnessed Lynk production shoot on Redchurch St. 2 y ago. Not a start-up, rather test bed.

[Joris Mateusen @JorisMateusen]

@CaptainAra84 @buitengebieden @veve_official Pretty sure it is. Walked by his studio in Shoreditch so often.
A bit of a one trick pony but the execution is next to none.

@flamencolambada I can smell a business model: The Interview Bar. Have a drink, have an interview.

Come back in the evening to celebrate if you have the job. Or to get drunk & move on.

The house always wins.

[Joris Mateusen @JorisMateusen]

@dereklwalker We do.
Pretty decent sum for books/ courses. Everyone can decide for themselves.

Just has to be work related (no pottery course), but no questions asked. We trust our people. Bring the bill, we’ll reimburse.

@keithhoelzeman @peeplaja Been done by a Dutch marketing student as a (tongue in cheek) graduation project. Got some PR in national media.

Was sold for the equivalent of … 330 euro. So a young soul is worth a couple of Bored Ape pixels.

@Slightly_Random Rooting for a Belgian: https://t.co/oRKq6OKUv9 Excellent, was the gin of choice @ Noma.

Have a look at https://t.co/ojQCi6I07U It’s like Cannes for spirits but actually reliable + relevant

Or buy a nice neutral gin and infuse it with botanicals etc to your liking. Easy!

@VikkiRossWrites @juls_ogechi @vickimaguire137 Widely held misconception that introverts can’t love the stage or spotlights.

We just don’t like to mingle afterwards for more than 10 minutes.

[Joris Mateusen @JorisMateusen]

@Slightly_Random Has to be Timothy Everest! The man, not the brand on Redchurch Street (also OK).
Lovely chap, knows everything about the craft and the trade, will understand what you want.
Was in east London (Spitalfields), now on Marylebone.

@JPCastlin Been a couple of years, but these stood out. Red frog cocktail bar.
Manteigaria for the best pastel de nata in the world, period.
LX Market if you crave some Hackney/ Brixton market feel.

@Bogdana We did the vax campaign in Flanders. Region with one of the best vax uptakes globally.
Def not just our merit TBH but we did a couple of things right.

Happy to share insights with anyone working on this (DM me); the best ones are culturally linked though.

@keano81 @clairestrickett Watch “The road to Welville” about Dr. Kellog’s weird believes. Also, you’ll never look at yoghurt the same way.

[Joris Mateusen @JorisMateusen]

@tommorton @Slightly_Random 100% this. They give a ‘lifetime guarantee’: they will fix your jeans if necessary. Very nice people too.
