Happy New Year!

The briefest of brief blogs to kick off 2014. Besides we like pictures of fireworks. So far we're doing well on our resolutions: exercise more, no chocolate, no booze, clean desk, plan some crazy-ass, mould-breaking events and collaborations.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended events, contributed to discussions and supported Chinwag in 2013. We're scheming and planning a range of diverse and exciting plans for 2014, but most are still hush-hush, here's some hints...

Pencil 10th April in your diaries for the return of Chinwag Psych, the conference that explores behaviour science for business. To whet your appetite, join us at PsychUp Feb for speakers, chat & drinks on all things Psych on 4th Feb.

On the international front, keep a close eye on @DigitalMission for news on upcoming US trips and events to speed up international growth. Announcements are imminent.

Our mantra "chat, connect, collaborate" is at the heart of our plans for 2014, with some innovative new events that bring together technology, marketing and business innovators with agencies, brands and corporates. Keep an eye on @Chinwag for early-bird ticket offers and opportunities to get involved.

How's your 2014 strategy? Need a hand with events, digital marketing, collaboration? Did you know our team also provides consultancy support?
