I’ve had a traumatic experience today – my iPhone 6 has inexplicably died. But it has been an important lesson. If ever you have any doubts about the importance of mobile when planning communications, brand platforms or marketing, may I suggest trying to get through a few hours without your phone? I was at a client’s office for meetings this … Read More
What makes a great website?
I had a conversation with a client this week about a website they are creating. They were worried that it wasn’t interesting or eye catching enough and they felt that they should be doing more. It reminded me of my time at big brands where the senior brand guardians could sometimes review websites through the same lens. It is obviously … Read More
The New Normal & what it means for your business
In this ‘New World’ of digital, there is obviously a focus on blogging about the latest developments, videos, thought pieces etc. It got me thinking that people who are new to digital or trying to learn more, might miss some of the older stuff that is still just as valuable today. So I am starting an ‘oldies but goodies’ section … Read More

It feels a bit like stars that are already dead but continue to shine down to us on earth. Is there a critical mass of past memories that will make us disappear into … Read More
Drones Not as ‘Far Out’ As You Think
This morning I attended a BIMA Breakfast Briefing on Drones and Emerging Tech. It was a really interesting session with presenters Jonny Tooze from Lab, Scott Ross from DigitasLBi, Adam Gee from Channel 4 and Paul Watkins from production house 360 Skylens. Until this session, the only things I had really seen about drones were the Amazon Prime Air discussions … Read More
Hashtag – ‘you’re’ not it!
Hashtags are ubiquitous in today’s society. Remember when this # was just called ‘hash’ or ‘pound’?! We even physically say it in conversations ‘hashtag just saying’. As someone who likes things to be organised, I’m a big fan of them. I like that we can file our comments on social platforms in certain topics and I also like the way … Read More
Do You Need A Website?
I’ve had a few discussions with people recently about whether in these days of social media, you actually need your own website. I can see why small businesses or artists might question the benefit of a site. It takes some work and expertise to get the site looking the way you want it and also performing the way you need … Read More
