About
I am Jed.
No it isn’t short for anything.
I work at Wolfstar, a public relations consultancy that specialises in social media. Amongst others, I work with Unilever, Sony Ericsson, Discovery Channel and first direct. My role at Wolfstar is as follows;
Innovation and trend identifying
Network analysis
Social measurement and analysing ROI
Qualitative analysis of quantitative projects (and vice versa)
Influencer relations
Client relations
Multimodal content creation and curation
Or at least that’s what my LinkedIn profile says.
I like to experiment with social platforms and look at how I can use them to connect up clients with audiences – I also like to blur the boundaries between professional and personal. Whoops.
My original URL was rock-star-pr.com, which was a bit rubbish, so I bought jedhallam.co.uk and as soon as I find out how to migrate it, I’ll bid adieu to the old one.
My main interests are innovation, music, anarchist politics, people that stir up controversy (with or without reason) and collecting things. Fortunately, I’m paid to do just one of those, innovation (the other four would be far too dangerous for me to be paid to do).
My teachers always told me that I talked too much and personality tests always reveal that I’m an extroverted introvert. I also produce almost completely random results when I do IQ tests. (Although I’ll only ever give you the highest results, naturally 
.)
I am mean, sweary, sarcastic and none of this is Wolfstar’s opinion.
You will find me spilling my guts on Twitter, moaning about stuff on Facebook, putting things to celluloid on Flickr and door-stepping my colleagues on Vimeo.
My favourite author is either William Blake or Sigmund Freud (I like the logic in his narrative), my favourite band is either The Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin, my favourite film is either Requiem for a Dream or Pi, my favourite artist is either Man Ray or Marcel Duchamp, I like New York, Paris and Cambodia.
I am Jed.
Oh, and for some reason The Sunday Times like me. As do AdAge, ConversationAgent, PRMoment,and Stuart (but he has more of a reason). I haven’t a clue why.
