Carlton vs. Hawthorn: The Agony of Defeat Today was the big showdown—Carlton vs. Hawthorn. Unfortunately, my team took a hard loss... by quite a few points :( The scene around me was a mix of disbelief and frustration. Carlton supporters were either screaming, shaking their heads, or wearing expressions like they just lost ten thousand dollars. It was intense! I've always wondered, why do Australians love watching AFL so much? After all, everyone’s from the same country, some even the same state. It’s not like the Olympics or SEA Games, where you’re cheering for your country. So, what's the deal? Curious, I did some digging and stumbled upon a piece on LinkedIn by Dave Williams: Why Do We Compete? https://lnkd.in/gn9EP2u5 So anyway, it turns out, competition is a powerful motivator. It pushes us to keep improving, gives us something to strive for, and fuels our drive to be better. And that got me thinking about SuperPixel . At SuperPixel , one of our core values is continuous growth. We’re always pushing ourselves to stay ahead of the curve by sharing skills, attending training, and participating in workshops. Just like in AFL, where teams constantly refine their strategies and tactics, we believe in learning from our mistakes and staying agile, no matter what position we’re in. It’s crucial to keep evolving, to adapt, and to be ready for any challenge that comes our way. Whether on the field or in the creative industry, the goal is the same—keep growing, keep improving, and always be ready for the next big game. #AFL #Melbournecricketground #creativeindustry #competition

When solving a brand's category challenge leads an agency to level up their work, pioneer new technology and make a tangible contribution to inclusivity, it's a rare triple-win worth documenting. Many claim to do it, but fewer put in the time and effort to make it happen. Thanks to Guilherme Machado, Boon Choon Ng, Rowena Bhagchandani and Skanda Lokeshwaran at BLKJ HAVAS for sharing their story. Here's hoping the open-source tech is adopted more widely by game developers. https://lnkd.in/gfrUb3uk

Yesterday I attended the #Pictoright AGM here in Amsterdam in which they shared some important news for those of us working in the creative sector. Namely that they have engaged in a David and Goliath lawsuit against the social media company Meta. European legislation stipulates that large mega corp social media companies provide remuneration for creatives in recompense for the work which is shared on social media whether the maker likes it or not. Via collective rights organisations such as Pictoright. Something which these large companies have so far not done. And so Pictoright is taking megacorpmeta to court. This could have repercussions down the line as it will not just be applicable to picture makers but others in the creative sector and provide jurisprudence.  It is also worth mentioning that I have many colleagues who aren't members of these collective rights organisations. It really isn't much effort but you do have to sow the seed in order to enjoy the harvest. In a sector where it is difficult to make a crust these organisations do provide a welcome extra. Please look to see whether there is such an organisation in your country/sector as it can really benefit yourselves. The UK equivalent of pictoright is #dacs. In The Netherlands there is #sena for musicians, #bumastemra for composers, Norma for actors, lira for writers and a number of others.

Ever wondered how to increase the immersive sweet spot for the audience? HOLOPLOT technology gives you a multi beam advantage that allows you to do that. The X1 system at Tomorrowland’s Atmosphere stage used individually tailored beams to split the audience into two separate coverage zones. 3D Audio-Beamforming helped create two separate coverage areas, one for the front and one for the back of the audience. This approach prevents echoes and signal overlap by perfectly gain and delay aligning both zones to each other, providing a much larger part of the audience with an optimal listening experience.

Is it really a "genius" ad? Why? 👉🏾 Find ads that impacted and evaluate. 👉🏾 Find ads that flopped and interrogate. (Side note: When's the last time an ad made you cry/emotional?) #dadfestival24 #LearningAndDevelopment #321Wrap
