Weeknotes #26
It’s a super short work week for me as I’m off to Amsterdam for a long weekend. Here’s a brief overview of Monday and Tuesday:
Well this week didn’t turn out the way I expected. You know that nightmare when you can't find your passport, you turn your house, car and campervan upside down (multiple times) and frantically rack you brain thinking through every action you have taken in the last two months? 👉me👈
Instead of visiting the Stedelijk and cat museums, cycling around the city and eating delicious things - I’ve been stuck in England. 😭
Anyway…
Coffee break with Dean
Last week I went to Manchester to see Dean Shaw (Content Tech Champion) and Laura Harris (Events Co-ordinator) at The Hive and shoot this video:

Digital Culture Awards
The secret category has been released - the Tech Champions’ Choice award!
Each of the Tech Champions has nominated an organisation or individual who has shown outstanding commitment to digital skills development or the implementation of digital tech.
The longlist for this category is made up of some of the organisations and individuals we've supported over the last year, who we feel have shown remarkable dedication to growing their digital skills or capabilities.
Head to our website to meet the nominees!
New Tech Champions
We have two new Search Engine Marketing specialists join the team this week: Monica and Mo. They are joining as a job share, with a Thursday crossover day.
Both Monica and Mo are based in our Newcastle office. It’s fantastic to have North East representation in the team again since we lost the brilliance that was Marc Burns.
Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
This week a new Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) was announced with Michelle Donelan appointed as it’s head. Lucy Frazer has been appointed Secretary of State in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
With digital dropped from DCMS, what does this mean for our sector? Will it impact the Digital Culture Network?
