"I′m a sucker for projects where interactive media meets the real world and inspires or makes a difference. Tribe Wanted is just such an initiative. It brings people together on-line and on-the-ground - including on a remote island - to tackle the biggest issues of our day in a totally immersed, committed, fun, human way. How the project is run and presented online shows a very thoughtful, skillful approach to networked media"
- Adam Gee (New Media
Commissioner, Channel 4)

People Passion Planet achieves much this month…

Filed Under The ramblings of a creative consultant

It has been a seriously great month for People Passion Planet which has resulted in a significant amount of media coverage. Lets go for the run down:

Channel 4 4Talent award:

I was extremely pleased to have won this award for the creation of Tribewanted. Channel 4 has stated that I am an individual to look out for in the social networking world, and that I am a ‘future creative hero’ ain’t THAT the truth
An article covering this win was featured in December’s Channel 4 4Ten Magazine, you can read the full article here: 4Ten Magazine

Make Your Mark in 60 Seconds:

It was great to win this award on behalf of the Liverpool Culture Cafe. We are now going full steam ahead with this project. This has been featured in numerous media across the UK which has been fantastic for us! Full details are on www.bebo.com/60seconds. A further exciting aspect to this project is that Make Your Mark, the organisation behind this project have asked me to get involved in encouraging, inspiring and motivating other young people and young adults to play a role in developing social enterprise within the UK. I love that sort of stuff!

The Observers top 500:

Over this past weekend the Observer listed top 500 people who had been submitted by the public and the judges agreed that these individuals are people who are going to lead the way in the UK over the future years. It was fantastic to see my name on that list, alongside Tribewanted business partner, Ben Keene. You can check out the list for yourself: The Future 500

It has been a great month for People Passion Planet and of course such media interest leads to developing greater networks, consultancies and concept development which is the actual stuff that I love to do.

People Passion Planet is about just that, playing a positive role in affecting people’s lives and the life of this planet - this is what I was created to do and I love it!
