As I write to you from my hotel room in Australia, I can’t help but reflect on how crazy the last few months have been. The week before MJ, Mike, Jane and I flew out for SMX Sydney, our long time friend Tony Spencer came to visit the Ayima office. After a number of chats with the corporate Mikes, Tony agreed to join the Ayima family and launch our new US office. I’ve known Tony since SES San Jose 2006, chatting in-between the dozens of Tequila shots that Ekky plied me with in an effort to recruit me into PartyGaming. It’s a fantastically exciting move for our company and I’m really looking forward to working with him again after our time at PG.
I’m so proud of what Ayima has achieved in such a short time, having some of the UK’s largest companies on our client list after just 2 years in business. It just goes to show what happens when you have a solid strategy and proven results in the toughest of markets. I’m positive that our US operation will be as successful, probably more so, as our UK business.
It was also great to visit Australia for the first time, I’ve met some wonderful people and caught up with old industry friends. Congratulations to Barry, Lisa and Dave for making SMX Sydney a must-attend event in the conference calendar, which rivalled and in many ways outpaced a lot of the major US conferences.

[...] a little late to the party regarding this as both Mike Nott and Robert Kerry have already covered it. However since my blog is read by a ton more people than both of theirs [...]
