Talk:Thinkbox

Refs

Just happened to spot this linked from the Signpost. Campaign has online archives stretching back to 2005, so here are a few potential refs. Not many other trade publications have ONLINE archives going back that far, and I don't really have ready access to/the will to search through the offline versions. Added a few odds and ends, though.

Campaign

• - On the launch
• - Interview with the heads of NMA and RAB, the newspaper and radio equivalents.
• - Feedback on the first Thinkbox Experience event
• - Reactions by the industry
• - More reactions
• - Creative mentoring program
• - Ref for the website launch in May. No real details, though.
• - Ref for the 2006 relaunch of the website following a £250k investment
• - a bit on the old "brownbox" criticism.
• - More on brownbox, criticism on structure.
• - Expansion of the board, inc. its first chairman: Justin Sampson. No details, probably not worth including.
• - Appointment of Tess Alps.
• , - IDS pullout, infighting, etc.
• - Summation of first half of 2006: Tess Alps (yay), IDS pullout (boo).
• - move of the offices to Centre Point
• - TV Planning Awards launch, maybe mention sponsorships of some of the other major ad awards ceremonies (IPA, BTAA, etc.)

Miscellaneous

• - Revolution on the site relaunch.
• - Shots describing an example of an attempt to convince marketers to stick to TV.
• New Media Age (subscription) - A browse through their archives shows some promising titles.
• - The Guardian on the launch. Mentions budget for 2005.
• - The Guardian on Tess Alps. Mentions budget for 2006.
• - The Independent on first year to Alps' hire.

Hope these'll prove useful. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 01:01, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
