“The future of communications is integrated, the future of content is visual, the size of content is ‘snackable’ and the future will come to you via a technology device”…..
….so said the 25 interviewees we spoke to on the subject of PR in the past, the present and the future. We met with communications directors, entrepreneurs, publishers, journalists and PR practitioners – all of whom we videoed.

Well, if you believe the AI industry’s announcements, come the new […] ...Read more
LinkedIn turned twenty years old in 2023 and has undergone much transformation within its two decades. Once purely a place to find and list jobs, as well as connect with peers, the platform has morphed into something more akin to Instagram, or Facebook. It’s no longer just a professional networking site, but a social media […] ...Read more
