Ed’s note
As you whizz through another working week trying to brave the icy cold weather conditions and stay motivated to keep the work momentum going, DesignMind has been on top of the latest industry news and has welcomed many more specialist members to the site.
I would like to use this opportunity to apologize for one or two spammers who slipped through the cracks last week – these cons find ingenious ways to convince our moderators that they are indeed legitimate, only to embarrass us horribly as soon as the “approve” button has been hit. Please be assured that DesignMind regards your privacy as top priority, as well as non-industry spam. All these members have been deleted and banned from the site.
We have decided to bring you this newsletter on a fortnightly basis (as opposed to the weekly version), as we do not want to flood your inbox with email – we do have lots more to tell you in the weeks to come, so watch this space.
And don’t forget to send your company news to our press office, where we will publish it for free:
info@designmind.co.za
Happy networking and see you on-site!
