Two posts you won't read

Posted Sunday, February 07, 2010 4:02 AM by will
Imagethief spent the weekend writing two posts about current PR issues (well, one of them was only relatively current). However, after some reflection I've decided to kill them both. While they don't touch directly on work I or my firm is doing in China, Read More...

We're back, plus the great Christmas pox of '09

Posted Sunday, January 03, 2010 11:57 PM by will
On Sunday Imagethief arrived in Beijing from two well-earned holiday weeks in the San Francisco Bay Area. Flying with Zachary), now 22 months, is always an adventure. He's a well traveled kid, but a well-traveled two year old is like a well-traveled troglodyte. Read More...

Five-year retrospective -- Imagethief on hiatus until 2010

Posted Saturday, August 01, 2009 12:24 AM by will
Imagethief arrived in China on June 6th, 2004, a naive and wide-eyed whelp of just 36. The last five years have been quite an education, and it's an older and (incrementally) wiser Imagethief who corresponds with you today. China years are like dog years. Read More...

Radio silence and a coming month on the road

Posted Monday, June 08, 2009 1:14 AM by will
Apologies for another extended period of radio silence over the last couple of weeks, which period included, as most readers will know, a Significant Anniversary and several odd goings-on in the media. Imagethief has been preoccupied with a visit by his Read More...

Another AmCham event plug: Maximizing the value of CSR

Posted Monday, April 06, 2009 6:40 AM by will
Once again I am puffing an event organized by the Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations (MAP) Forum at AmCham. In addition to helping to arrange this event, Imagethief, in his professional agency-guy guise, will be moderating the discussion portion. Read More...

Plugging my AmCham forum's social network marketing event next week

Imagethief sits on AmCham's Marketing, Advertising and PR (MAP) Forum committee. Next week my forum is hosting an event on social network marketing in China. I will not be speaking on the panel. In fact, the PR industry will be represented by someone Read More...

Explaining my continuing absence

Posted Wednesday, March 11, 2009 3:21 AM by will
This has been something of a running theme the last few weeks, but I'm sure it hasn't escaped my reader's (that isn't a typo*) notice that Imagethief has been pretty quiet of late. All I can say is it's been a little thick on the work front, including Read More...

The Z Files

Posted Sunday, March 08, 2009 7:02 AM by will
A good friend of mine who shall go nameless* once said of me, "He writes a good blog, but too much about his kid." Or words to that effect. So to solve that problem, and to make life easier for my parents, who are interested in Zach but don't give much Read More...

Happy Chinese New Year

Posted Monday, January 26, 2009 7:27 AM by will
Imagethief wishes all readers a happy and prosperous year of the ox (cow/water buffalo/ruminant of your choice). 牛气冲天, because we all need some optimism. Best, Will Cows at Angkor Wat, 1997, from my Cambodia gallery . Read More...

2008 best-of-Imagethief and statistics

Posted Tuesday, January 13, 2009 3:01 AM by will
First, Imagethief feels he owes his readers an apology. Anyone who has been with me for longer than a few months will have noticed that the last third of 2008 yielded a sparse crop of posts. For this I blame a very heavy workload and an increasingly demanding Read More...

On vacation!

Posted Saturday, December 20, 2008 1:58 AM by will
Regular readers will know my posting has been a little light the last three months. It's been a very intense period at work for Imagethief since mid-September, not to mention the usual family commitments. It's going to be lighter still for the next couple Read More...

Off to Australia

Posted Thursday, October 23, 2008 8:39 AM by will
After over a month of essentially constant panic (including working straight through the October holidays), Imagethief is off on a richly deserved vacation to Australia with his wife and son tomorrow. I probably won't be posting while I'm gone, but given Read More...
