It’s Friday!

Everyone knows that on Fridays we like to do a round up of the best of the web, and this Friday is no different… So without further a do, I give you QUAD’S BEST OF THE INTERNET #9!

This week we’ll start with Tom Hanks! You probably know that he has  a new movie coming out very soon, but the question on everyone’s lips is, how did he get this far? I think this video sums it up pretty well, it’s Tom Hanks: The Movie!

Next up this week we have what I believe to be the best article ever to come out of Buzzfeed. It’s called , and it’s amazing. Hat’s off to the author, Tom Phillips . Obviously it’s all made up, but that kind of makes it even funnier… William Price-Hound, although fictional, is a hell of a guy.

Next up is one of my favourite music videos of the moment, it’s for a track called Afterglow and it’s by UK D&B producer, Wilkinson. You can pre-order the single here  po.st/AfterglowiT .

Enjoy that? Good, let’s continue. So far there’s been a distinct lack of cats, so here we have a retired military dog meeting a kitten for the first time.

Right, I’m glad we’ve got that out of the way…

I posted this earlier this week, but it’s so good that it needs a repost. A totally accurate map of the Northern Line!

I’m sure everyone has seen this next video, a hidden camera experiment that captures the reactions of unsuspecting customers at a New York City coffee shop as they witness a telekinetic event.

Finally this week, we have the literal video version of Total Eclipse of the Heart… Enjoy!

There we have it, just another week in the world of the Internet!

In a couple of hours time it is literally going to be the weekend. You see all those people around you staring blankly at their computers? In a few hours time they’ll all be in Tiger Tiger reluctantly grinding up on each other.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

It’s Friday!

It’s been an interesting week in the world of the web with Miley Cyrus predictably sitting at the top of the trending topics. But let’s not talk about her any more…

First up this week is Marina Shifrin, the woman who quit her job earlier this week in the most public way possible!

and then came the inevitable response from her now former employer…

It’s safe to say that the response did not go down well with the Internet, Marina on the other hand has had job offers coming out of the wood work! Just goes to show the power of the web!

So Scarlett Johansson fell over this week… Obviously the Internet leapt right on her unfortunate tumble in spectacular fashion and created a masterpiece!

The original

my favourites

You can see Buzzfeed’s entire compilation here .

Pause for one eyed kitten…

Next up we have this slice of musical genius from American a capella group, Pentatonix, and they’re musical evolution…

And finally a one eyed dog…

That’s it for this week!

See all those people around you typing and periodically checking the time? In a few hours they’ll be twerking up against a wall listening to R Kelly…

Have a great weekend!

High five, it’s FRIDAY!

As is the Quad way, on the last day of every week, AKA Friday, we like to round up and showcase some of the more interesting, funny, heart wretching, stimulating and mind boggling stuff we’ve found on the Internet during the week!

This week we’ll start with a true British icon, Monty Python! But like you’ve never seen it before…

Next up is our Tumblr of the week! *cue fireworks*

It’s called , and is described as ‘food reviews and tales from one man’s food adventures’. Essentially what it is, is a hilarious and refreshing take on just another food blog… So if you have a few minutes then I really do advise that you get stuck in!

Next up, we have an artists impression of where nightmares are born … Dave Devries takes children’s drawings and recreates them realistically so that we can really see what goes on inside our children’s heads. Here are couple to get you going…

Next up is an article which I’m pretty sure the entire world has read by now, but it’s a great article and therefore deserves its spot in such a highly regarded round up of the Internet…

The article is aptly named ‘ Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy ‘ and that’s pretty much all the introduction it needs. Enjoy!

These words are probably unfurling inside one of many open tabs on your computer screen. Perhaps one tab is for work, one is for chatting, and another is for Twitter. You probably even have some others open for no particular reason. This is the way we receive information and the way we communicate now: constantly, simultaneously, compulsively, endlessly, and more and more often, solitarily. This strange new mode of living–and its indelible effect on our humanity–is perfectly captured in Noah , a short film set entirely on a teenagers computer screen, that debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival and illustrates the flitting attention span and lack of true connection in digital culture more clearly than anything else in recent memory.

Warning: mildly NSFW

And finally let’s all just take a moment to appreciate this insane vehicle interception…

That’s it for this week, we’re merely minutes away from the weekend! Take a look around you… see all those people tapping away at their keyboards, well in a matter of hours they’re all going to be 6 Jägers in and lighting up the dance floor in Liquid.

Have a great weekend!

Friday, boom! We made it!

Now give yourself a pat on the pack, slide down your chair, breathe in deeply, and enjoy this week’s Best of the Internet… You’ve earned it!

Our first slice of Internet wonderment takes us to Buzzfeed for some More Middle Class Problems , which of course, we all suffer from…

It’s even better because friend of Quad and general Wonder Woman, , made the list! Check it out…

Most people would probably agree that Buzzfeed can be a HELL of a distraction at work… But there are some jobs out there, take for example being an astronaut, where you’d think distractions would at all times be a no go… Wrong.

, our Tumblr of the week, reveals transcipts from Apollo 11, during their mission to the moon and back…

Next up we have a spoof music video fresh out of Norway… And when I say fresh, I mean it was uploaded to YouTube 3 days ago and has already racked up over 2 million views! The most important fact, however, is that it’s about a fox, and foxes are awesome.

An old classic now, in the form of David Thorne’s, 27bslash6 . Essentially he winds up his co-workers, neighbours and businesses via email and documents it all on his site… It’s very funny and well worth a read!

And last but not least we’re going to have to re-enter the world of Buzzfeed for 28 Pictures That Prove Dreams Do Come True . Good luck staying dry eyed through this one!

Right, that’s it for this week! We can all rest safe in the knowledge that it’s almost officially the weekend which means in a couple of hours, this will be you just letting it all go in Oceana…

 Have a great weekend!

What starts with an F and ends with a Y…. Oh yeah, that’s right, FRIDAY!

So, what’s been happening on the Internet this week then? First of all this video surfaced of a man being chased by a real life Velociraptor….

Next up, this week’s Tumblr sensation… An ode to our favourite German Chancellor, !

Here’s one to get you started. You get the idea…

We also came across this slice of social media nerd gold from The Next Web, 20 apps and resources that do cool things with your social data

Staying with social media, here’s an interesting video, The Innovation of Loneliness. A look into the connection between social networks and being lonely…

And now to lighten the mood…

Feeling better? Don’t forget that in just a matter of hours this is going to be you losing your mind in Infernos…

Have a great weekend!

In the world of Digital Marketing there is an understandable inclination to utilise every opportunity for networking and learning through online channels, but in fact it’s at the intersection of the online and physical worlds that marketing is at its most powerful. And this is why Quad, as well as creating valuable online content, chooses to host marketing events that bring London’s most talented content creators, digital marketers, strategists, and bloggers together in one room, where attendees have the opportunity to be inspired by Digital Marketing insights and where they can network with the most influential names in the industry. Whether you are hosting a marketing event on behalf of your company or attending an event as an independent freelancer, there are a few ways that you can ensure that you make the most out of an event.

It is important to remember that marketing events do not serve a purely social function and to make the most of the event you will need to enter into the experience with clear goals and objectives in mind. Do you wish to learn more about a specific industry topic such as new platforms for video content, or would you like to promote yourself as a freelance blogger within a particular niche? Your objectives will inform the way that you approach a marketing event and choose to structure your time and efforts. Quad’s Online Marketing Network  events are ticketed and promoted through meetup.com , an online hub in which attendees and speakers can engage with each other before and after the event. The event listings detail the speakers and objectives of each Online Marketing Network event and the platform also allows meetup.com users to interact with each other, to discuss topics related to the event, to introduce themselves to each other, and to better understand the scope of digital marketers who will be attending.

After engaging with other marketers on meetup.com, attendees are in a much better position to make the most of the event, and can engage with the topics explored in real-time by using social hashtags throughout the event. Whether capturing original content at events themselves, or engaging with the content of others, the hashtag provides a way for the community to engage with the event topics in a simple and shareable way.

The period after a marketing event can be just as important as the event itself. For freelancers who attend a marketing event with the goal of forming relationships with prospective clients, this is the time when following up on introductions is critical for turning those new leads into long-term clients. And for those who attend an event with a view to learning something about a critical area of online marketing, this is the time to apply those learning’s gained from the event, to question the ins and outs of the particular online marketing niche, and to engage with other attendees from the event to share your learning’s and ultimately improve your online content offering.

The digital world has not diminished the power of marketing events, but has increased their impact by offering platforms on which attendees can engage, share, create, and discuss, before and after an event. Actively engaging on these platforms and attending marketing events with clear objectives and an open mind will only serve to boost your marketing prowess.

If you’d like to attend one of Quad’s upcoming events, then head over to our events page for more details. 

If you’re looking for a  London based digital Content Marketing agency  to help with your marketing needs, then why not  get in touch  with Quad!

Oh hey! It’s Friday!

Here are our favourite Internet findings this week…

Without a doubt the big winner has been the new Tumblr blog: . In fact, We bet these types of photos have been haunting you all summer long on your Facebook feed, your Twitter and your Instagram…

But the question is – are they hot-dogs or legs!?

Second up this week…

And one to get you started:

Next up, the Coca-Cola ‘Ahhhh’ Campaign . It’s actually been around a couple of months (I believe) but it’s worth a mention for sure. They’ve bought several URLs and you’ll be able to play around with lots of different games and challenges too. Nice bit of content marketing!

Now onto something a bit random, and an awesome tweet  posted by the White House this week. Nice to see some light heartedness like this by those we often assume are anything but.

And something for the cat people too (just to be fair):

And lastly, we challenge you not to be impressed by this…

Have a great weekend!

Last week at Quad Digital we had some team photographs taken – in full blown celebrity-style out on the HMS President deck. We thought you’d like to see a sneak peek of some of the finished products – we love them! Many thanks to Ellie and her brilliant photo skills

Do let us know who you think photographs the best… Certain people in the office are getting a bit competitive, so it seems we need a final decision!
