november's post of the month

Time to get nominations in for November's Post of the Month. Please do so by the 9th of December. We've already got a couple of suggestions; this post by Leland (who's got to be in with a shout for something this month, he's been hugely prolific) and this piece of genius from The Amateur Gourmet.

Faris wins. Congrats to him. It's a great read. As are all the entries. November is next, start making notes. Thanks to all the nominators and nominees.

september's post of the month - mr dylan trees

The votes are in. They've been counted and recounted and the winner is Mr Dylan Trees. (Though since his winning entry was posted on Johanna's blog I'm not quite sure where David's marvelous Post of the Month graphic should go. It's up to Mr Trees I suppose.) Huge congratulations to Dylan. Thanks to everyone for voting and please start thinking about your nominations for October's Post of the Month.

post of the month

I always enjoy Match Of The Day's Goal Of The Month competition and I was watching it the other day while reading Jon's lovely blog round-up.

And it struck me that we could have fun doing a Post Of The Month competition.

I'm thinking it should work like this. We all nominate our favourite posts from September on any topic relating to brands, marketing, advertising, life, culture, people, stuff. You know. Whatever. We collect those nominations by the end of the first week of October. If you could email me or comment on here, I'll build a master list. And maybe do some shortlisting if neccesary. Then we all vote, and then someone gets awarded Post Of The Month, and we'll make a nice little badge for them to display.

How does that sound? I think that'll be fun.

I think you should be able to nominate as many as you like and you can nominate yourself.

Do we need any other rules?

Update: David's done a splendid badge-thing for us. It's at the top. Many thanks David.
