So, if your social media campaigns are simply soundbites and catch-phrases without a follow through of long-form purposeful and explainer content, then you are going to underwhelm and underperform.

Why Comparison Kills Creativity in Social Media Marketing
I love undertaking social media and digital marketing audits. Deep diving into the data and answering the questions my clients and students have about their online performance - from social media, to ads, video, and content.

So, in this episode I want to talk more about why comparison kills creativity in digital marketing and why you should mind your own digital business to succeed online. Co...

How to Communicate Climate Change
“Scientists are observing changes in the Earth’s climate in every region and across the whole climate system. Many of the changes observed, such as continued sea level rise—are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years.”This is the damning conclusion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its most recent report. IPCC is the UN body for assessing the science related to climate change. The words ‘new normal’ come to mind when reading this report and the backdrop of a global pandemic. The predictions are apocalyptic. But why hasn’t human kind wok...
