You perform better if you’re being watched. Better as in more equitably. More ‘proper’, some might say. Why? The Authority Effect: we’re sensitive to whether our actions are being observed by others. It’s true even…

Google: logically flawed? (34940http://www.thehuntingdynasty.com/2010/04/google-logically-flawed/Google%3A+logically+flawed%3F2010-04-19+12%3A08%3A52Oliver+Payne)

When Google split their stock one staff member questioned the emotional effect on staff. An unfamiliar issue in the halls of Googleplex: logic rules (and the rules are logical).

Who will be the Ford of the 21st Century? (34650http://www.thehuntingdynasty.com/2010/04/who-will-be-the-ford-of-the-21st-century/Who+will+be+the+Ford+of+the+21st+Century%3F2010-04-10+13%3A49%3A53Oliver+Payne)

There’s always more space at the edge: when Henry Ford perfected the construction line (not the first moving conveyor belt as many believe – that was Sandvik in 1901) he fulfilled a desire for motorised transport…

Our yummy RSS feed is within your grasp - You get all our Hunter Blog posts, and our agency news.

But most importantly of all, you get a link in the feed to our internal one-page advertising briefing document. You can't get it any other way (unless you engage us to work for you).



In our document you'll learn:

- What you need to do before you even see a brief
- Where to start once you do sit down to write (and it isn't at the beginning)
- How to separate the business challenge from the creative challenge
- The right questions to ask for each section
- And much much more...


Take our RSS feed now.

If you can't get through, feel free to sing along to our hold music - It's Hip Hop I think? (we might catch you at it).

Otherwise, you can leave a message at any time.

The special wizards in the background convert your message into a soundfile and attach it to an email that comes straight to our special phone message account. It can get quite busy, but we will get back to you.

We get calls all the time about marketing, advertising, communication and promotion - from startups to established businesses and everyone inbetween.

If that sound like you, then call us to discuss whether we can stop your business wasting money with a few well crafted pieces of behavioural communication. We don't bite. (Only our work does.)

Careful! Our email address has one of those funky links on it that opens a new email and adds the correct address.

Some people like this. Some don't.

So we've written our email address out in full for people who don't like the funky link.

I know, ohhhh, look at us.

But doing that means you can simply select it, copy it, and have control over where it goes (into your address book, perhaps?).

We tweet quite a lot @huntingdynasty. And we retweet even more. Click on the link under your mouse right now and you'll see our latest feed in a new window.

We also compose a weekly digest of our tweets, so it's easy to see what's interested us - and hopefully easy to find some things that interest you. The digests are beneath this panel (if you're on the homepage).

Come and join us.
