The team ventured out of Moo HQ last night for a spot of socialising. As part of the Future Everything festival that’s currently taking place in Manchester, this month’s (in)famous Northern Digitals meet-up had switched location to Oxford Road’s Contact Theatre. We’d been meaning to attend a Northern Digitals meet for ages, and once we got there we saw what all the fuss was about. Contact was packed out, and especially crowded around the bar, as you’d expect from a digital industry event. We are a thirsty lot, aren’t we?
We spent a lot of time with the Fudge gang, mostly discussing robots, occasionally touching on the morals of training a monkey to clean your flat, and once or twice actually talking about work. It was also grand to get a chance to talk to Jake Smith. A director at JP74, he was doing a good job of convincing our very own Duncan Green to have a bash at some skateboarding. Sounds like trouble.
As with all events of this nature, the variety of the people who attended was an excellent reminder of how diverse and vibrant the online creative / marketing industry is, especially around Manchester. Schedule permitting we’ll be at the next Northern Digitals meet, and should be attending a few more of the Future Everything events as well. Come and say Hi to us if you happen to be at any of the same events; keep an eye on our twitter (@moomarketing) to see what we’ll be attending and when.
