Jacinda Ardern, in my opinion, has set a precedent for modern politics that every world leader should aspire to. New Zealand's youngest prime minister in more than 150 years, Ardern has been globally praised for her prolific efforts in deadling with the global Coronavirus crisis.

Is There Any Point In Influencer Marketing Right Now?
There are many mediums of marketing to now explore. Some will work for your brand, some won't. One modern option that still appears to be very prevalent in 2020, is influencer marketing.

Is TikTok The Next Big Thing In Influencer Marketing?
Perhaps inevitably, I am finally writing about TikTok. Truth be told, when this trend started catching on I didn't anticipate it would be just as big as it is today. Since being launched in 2017, the app has enjoyed exponential growth. Its popularity, so it would seem, peaking around the time that lockdown measures started… Continue reading Is TikTok The Next Big Thing In Influencer Marketing?
Creative Campaigns #12 – Check What NASA Saw On Your Birthday
If you think that your campaign won't do well right now because it's not Covid-19 related, you'd be wrong.

Creative Campaigns #10 – Brewdog Formulates Brewgel For The NHS
When all of this comes to pass, the companies that will undoubtedly be remembered will be the ones who stepped up to help (alongside those who made awfully questionable choices during this pandemic, but that's a can of worms to open on another blog post).

Creative Campaigns #8 – Netflix* Shows Are Being Spoiled
Campaign of the year in my eyes so far, I said yesterday.

Profiting From A Pandemic – Wheres The Line?
We're currently living through a pandemic. The first one (pretty much) of my time, let alone the first one I've had to deal with when working in PR & marketing. Times are scary, there's absolutely no denying that. There's very little good to come out of this whole debacle (perhaps except from the story I… Continue reading Profiting From A Pandemic – Wheres The Line?

Your favorite fast food outlet is probably offering some pretty great vegan options now. It's 2020 and the pressure on brands to be more 'woke' is mounting, but that isn't the only reason that you've seen a lot more vegan and vegetarian products being added to the menus of most popular fast food outlets over… Continue reading How Greggs Cooked Up A Vegan Revolution
