So first things first let’s get one thing straight…I am 25. I am a millennial. I grew up in the digital age. So I am not insensitive to the assumption that I am some form of Social Media guru. Frankly, in a life of hard knocks sometimes it really is nice to be recognised…however erroneous. […]

So I was watching The Apprentice the other night, as you do, and one thing irked me enormously. It was the moment when Lord Sugar heckled poor ol’ James with the phrase, “Man up, son. You’ve got to man up.” I practically squirmed in my seat. And how Karen Brady didn’t wallop him in one […]

I like thinking about the future. From my articles on the future of branding to the future of content (casual plug there), I try to make sure I am clued into what is happening next. “But, Why?” I hear you ask, my astute reader…..
