THE NEWS

THANK YOU SO MUCH

We’ve been very busy since the post below, and are so happy to have launched new products, given people great reasons to join clients’ businesses, given insight in areas including AI, insurance and customer experience, and helped clients with important work from accessibility and inclusion to sustainability. Plus, we’re about to publicise important charity work with the likes of the former Springboks captain Francois Pienaar, which is really exciting.

Thanks to our wonderful clients, and our associate team.

It’s been a beautiful, productive and slightly whirlwind season which continues in the coming weeks. But we’ll soon return to something like our normal schedule so if you’d like to talk about how to bring your ideas to life in video, with speaker coaching or live webinars, just drop us a line.

Look forward to catching up with you soon!

WOW

We’re honoured to have taken on 12 new projects in only 2 weeks.

It’s a beautiful thing to see so many clients returning to us after a more relaxed end of 2023.

The Open University, Southeastern, MarketforceLive, Enstar and Howden have asked us to work with them. Also, two new wonderful clients have come to us this month and we' can’t wait to get started with them. One other project definitely worth mentioning is a documentary project that could make a real difference to people living with cancer.

News to follow soon, but if we’re a little slow answering the ‘phone in the coming few weeks, do keep trying!

THIS WEEK’S WEBINARS

Thanks very much to our clients at Future of Utilities and Insurance Innovators for inviting us to chair a couple of really fascinating webinars over the last couple of days.

We ran discussions on customer communications, climate change and technology in energy and water - in association with Quadient - and also the future of generative AI in insurance - with Capgemini. Both absolutely amazing discussions, with lots of new insights and ideas for the near future.

ZERO CARBON HOUSE

Thanks very much to Paul Martin and The Open University for inviting us to north Wales this week.

We had such a lot of fun learning about Paul’s incredible journey turning his entire life zero carbon. It’s a real commitment that we’ll be turning into a series of films for students and academic staff at the OU in the coming weeks. Special thanks to Maria, Robin, Milla and, of course, Paul.

The FUTURE OF TRUTH

(AND HOW TO GET THERE)

We’re delighted to announce that this is the title of Lindley’s new book.

It tells the gripping story of mis- and dis-information, why it’s affecting us so badly, and how to spot the tell-tale signs that manipulation leaves behind so that we can build a happier, healthier future of truth in the news and on social media.

The book IS ALMOST HERE

We’ve held our tongues and stayed tight-lipped for a couple of months, but the countdown is now on to a big announcement.

Lindley’s information ethics book - supported by Greenscreen - is about to be announced. We think it’s important, with practical tools and techniques to fight mis- and dis-information. Why have we fallen so hard for alternative facts, who’s really responsible, and how can every one of us take simple steps to cut it out of our lives?

It’s the first time we’ve wrapped our knowledge about news and information into a book, audiobook and tour, and will hopefully do some genuine good in the age of opinion and social media.

Details to follow this week!

24/7

Thanks to everyone who’s taken us up on our offer to talk ideas in 7 free sessions to start 2024.

We’ve had a lot of fun hearing about your businesses, your hopes and needs for the new year, and how you want your communications to look. There have already been some great ideas, and hopefully our external view and understanding of business media has given you a boost.

In 2024, we’ll be seeing new types of webinars, bringing in more inclusivity of younger panelists and perspectives, new areas of business, using more creativity in the filming styles of corporate media, and the safe, helpful use of AI tools to generate copy, social media posts and more.

We’ve loved to be part of your ideas for 2024. Sadly there are no more free slots for this month’s 24/7 programme, but ideas are where every project starts so please do drop us a line if you’d like to talk, and we’ll be happy to help as always!

WELCOME TO 2024!

Happy new year!

We hope that this is the beginning of a wonderful year for you. Life is under pressure in the UK, so we we wish the very best to our clients, our colleagues and friends.

And this is the beginning of more conversation from us after a few years of business without much social media. To help with that, welcome to our brand new website!

If you have a couple of minutes, feel free to browse, and we’ll share news, views and stories that we think are inspirational, fascinating and fun throughout the year. We haven’t done this since before the pandemic so it’s a welcome return to the blog.

See you soon!
