How to harness communications to get your brand out there

| 6 August 2020

Thanks to the smartphone revolution, we can access messages, social media updates and news stories from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed. While it can be distracting from a personal perspective, it provides endless opportunities for businesses to get their story out there. But in today’s content-saturated world, how […]

You are the focal point

| 24 September 2018

I have always been the person behind the scenes, happy to write the words for other people to say, or to come up with the quotes to be written in features and articles. Always pulling the strings, as it were, rather than sitting in front of the camera. Until now. Since setting out as a […]

What is a communications audit?

| 18 September 2018

During my time at Toyota Material Handling UK I learnt a little about the Toyota Production System and this learning has impacted on my way of working ever since. This is particularly true when it comes to reviewing communications and using communications audits. One of the main things that I took away from my time […]

What is communication and why must we choose between PR or Marketing?

| 20 March 2018

There is a long-standing debate between marketing and PR professionals about which is the most important and which gains the best results. In recent years, the role of digital has also been added to this discussion. While PR and Marketing are different functions which do different things, I believe that you need to be careful […]

When two worlds collide

After spending much of my time at school playing sports I always appreciated the positive effect team sports had on development of key skills.

Is anything innovative?

We live in a time when everything is billed as being innovative but, other than ground breaking research is anything truly innovative? If innovation is the process of change and the introduction of something new, innovation is definitely everywhere and has been taking place rapidly over recent years. But, if when communicators and writers use […]

What’s all that noise?

I love working out the best ways to communicate with people. I like the analysis, the planning and the execution. I like to write. But over recent years, I have been buried in ‘what should be’ and ‘the way it is meant to be’, as if there is a correct way to write something. There […]
