Mumbrella is 11: Triumph and failure
As Mumbrella marks its 11th birthday, founder Tim Burrowes offers his annual update on the journey so far.
As anyone who has run a business will know, there’s no such thing as a relentless upwards trajectory.
There are always ups and downs. That’s certainly been the case with Mumbrella. While the overall direction has always been upwards, there’ve been setbacks during the last decade and a bit too.
But the emotions attached to triumph and failure are asymmetrical.
The dominant emotion when we pull off one of our harder challenges is usually simply that of relief. Whereas the failures actually, properly hurt.
Well done on eleven years.
Pity Mumbrella still sticks with PIs as a success measure. It’s SO turn of the century.
Great post as always from Tim Burrowes and Mumbrella! If only more media business owners would dial up the honesty and dial down the management speak and BS!
I really appreciate your Openness and honesty in these updates. Thanks for another year of keeping us updated on the latest news & holding us all accountable when he get to caught up in the industry bubble
Can you put some main events in Melbourne next year.
+1
Melb needs more event love (plus we afterparty harder than Sydney!)
nice article Tim. Congrats on the year and while the Asia news isn’t what you’d have hoped for, congratulations on having the guts and clarity to move on…hopefully to more achievement down the track.
you, Damian, Viv and team have all earned a few Christmas drinks and I hope to see you all in 2020
