  • How to avoid using dead language

    July 30, 2015

    This blog is going to be so actionable. So many learnings. Yes, there is going to be a paradigm shift. We’ll touch base in the first paragraph and, going forward from there, will incentivise learnings with a value-added cradle-to-grave end-to-end mission critical solution. The synergies will propel you so far that blue sky thinking won’t be a thing anymore - you’re going to be a space person. An alien floating in a great, engaging, impactful spaceship...

  • If you needed an organ transplant, would you have one?

    July 29, 2015

    I’m sure it is fair to say most of us would do whatever it takes to stay alive if we ever needed an organ transplant. However don’t count on an organ being available; there is a worsening problem in the UK with an imbalance between the number of organs needed, and the number of those being donated.   There are obviously numerous circumstances where people cannot donate for medical or religious reasons, and there is...

  • Is The SNP Good For Business?

    July 22, 2015

    This morning we hosted the first breakfast briefing of many to come at our new offices located at Bankside 2, exploring the question ‘Is the SNP Good for Business?’ with Devin Scobie, Director at FleishmanHillard’s Scottish partner agency, Caledonia Public Affairs. Drawing on decades of experience and insider knowledge of Scottish politics, Devin skillfully profiled the new SNP Parliamentary party; setting out who they are, how they operate and what they are after. The SNP...

  • Why tugging at our heartstrings is no longer enough to make us open our purses

    July 22, 2015

    Charities have been doing it for years; they have mastered the art of creating impactful adverts that elicit an emotional response. But increasingly it seems that this is no longer enough to spur us to respond financially and make much needed donations to their worthy causes. Take the new campaign by Doctors of the World (Médecins du Monde). Their highly emotive Make a Child Cry campaign video begins by showing a series of young children...

  • Graduate Insight: Why rotation is the best way forward.

    July 21, 2015

    Last month, FleishmanHillard moved from its Covent Garden home of more than ten years to Bankside 2, a modern, open-plan space on the South Bank. In leaving the old office, we bid farewell to a seating plan which had us neatly separated by each practice area, into a new desk layout. A layout that was team agnostic when it came to placement. This new way of seating allowed us to interact more with a fresh set...

    July 15, 2015

    After the international success of music websites Pandora and Spotify, Apple has decided to step it up a notch and launch Apple Music, a music steaming platform fully integrated into iOS. This release uses Beats Music as a foundation, after Apple bought Beats for three billion dollars last year. The new service was announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference on 8th June this year and then launched on 30th June with the first three months...

  • Keeping the faith: 3 ways to partner with your client to create innovative digital strategy

    July 13, 2015

    This is a truly inspiring time to be working in the health industry. We live in a world where the Tricorder from Star Trek could become a reality (Qualcomm’s Tricorder), where we can decipher our genetic code to understand our ancestry (23&Me) and apps and social media guide us through a healthy life (See: Apps, PM Live Digital Handbook). The stuff of science fiction is happening and we’re (mostly) feeling the benefits. Of course, there...

  • The Value of Looking Beyond Our Walls

    July 10, 2015

    Each month, we like to take a couple of hours out of our day for ‘Beyond our Walls’, a group session in which we collectively look at some of the great creative projects that are happening around the world, beyond the walls of FleishmanHillard. There’s a natural focus on branded marketing campaigns, but given the varied nature of the work we do and the blend of disciplines in our agency, we’ll often review an eclectic...
