It's a bit of an honour to be writing the first post for the new Octopus blog - Blogtopus. But, as is often the case with these things, as I sit writing I find myself overcome with the sense of how hard it can be when you're working with a blank sheet of paper. Writers' block? Bloggers' blog, perhaps..?

Perhaps the only option I can go for is the obvious one, and that's to try to give you a sense of why we decided to have a blog and what you might expect to find on it over the weeks and months to come.

We're not trying to reinvent the wheel; this is where you'll find different people from the Octopus team writing about the things that interest them. Whether that's the things we're working on, cool stuff going on in the industry (who knows, we might even name check other agencies whose work we like), or issues in the wider economy.

Or maybe just something that's made us laugh and we feel like sharing.

It's as simple as that, really.

Of course, it's the comments that often bring a blog to life so don't hold back. Tell us what you think - share and share alike!
