Digital Shorts – NMA & Mr Jindal
Last Thursday we attended a fabulous presentation organised by New Media Age in Leeds. Ian Jindal of Internet Retailing and various other interesting ventures inspired an audience of retailers and agency people (approx 60:40 split) with a whirlwind tour of the interesting stuff that’s shaping up online retail. Ian’s style was refreshing – no hard sell trying to convince people, just stating that this is what people are doing now, evolve or die. Ian’s in the enviable position of having been involved with pulling together the new House of Fraser website, which he took great pride in demonstrating. Ian introduced us to Chris, who heads up ecommerce at Otto – a local company we’d really like to work with.
It was great to listen to somebody working so hard at raising the digital bar, when so many are happy to just get somewhere close. I understand from our new recruit, Helen, that we will be talking to Ian again in the not to distant future.
Yeah
