As a kid I HATED the Back to School signs in the shops at the start of the summer holiday.
So, I’ve held back about shouting too much about training slots in the rest of 2025.
But now August is over, heck here’s a gentle nudge towards workshops and what you’ll learn.
There is no question that the pace of change is increasing and communications is evolving.
- Video now makes up a staggering 60 per cent of people’s time on Facebook.
- 84 per cent of UK adults use social media.
- A majority of all age ranges use YouTube.
- 80 per cent of people say they still click on Google links despite AI summaries.
Back in 2013, I left local government to become a freelancer with the aim of doing more in the public sector. That’s been the case. My aim was to be ahead of the game by reading and researching because people didn’t have the time. That’s been bang on.
The strapline I have but rarely lean on is ‘future comms made easy’. That’s my aim. I’d like to put tools in people’s hands so they can do a better job.
One of the reasons why I use old pictures is to make the whole thing a bit less scary.
