The Beyond Branding Blog

One of the communally deepest linking Brits died in the bombings at Edgware Road tube, London
He was a knowledgeboarder
a Be The Changer
a blogger
a waiki-editor
a simpolean
a critic of globally careless marketing and abusive media who helped changed the superficilaity and image-making addictions of the communications profession

and so much more than any one person can ever begin to describe in a poor thread
one of the great reformers of shareholder value and incorporation; one of the most deeply caring communal people that Londoners have ever been blessed with as a facilitator

an open space alumni

a resonating hi-trust centre of anyone's open network

and dear person and family man

we will never forget the value of good spirits and true learning and open relationships. we will never forget your generosity of time and how many of our brains vibrate with action learning you gifted us

Love from all your communities

I still can't describe the loss. I knew no one who was killed in 9-11 despite having been in New York the summer before; yet of 50-odd I knew Colin. He was generous and cared deeply about the way the world is heading; and while we want to continue his work we know deep down that one of the best people to make us live the change in marketing was Colin.
A year ago Colin wondered how we measured the change, as his next area of inquiry—perhaps we can dedicate our energies to that in the time ahead?
