  • The changing face of influencer marketing and how to stay ahead of the curve

    July 4, 2023

    Following my attendance at the PR Week Influencer 360 event, I thought it was worth sharing some important news and trends within the influencer marketing sphere, and what this could mean for brands and creators. New Changes in disclosing what is an ‘Ad’ Previously the ASA shared guidance that a post should be declared an ‘Ad’ if the influencer received some sort of payment AND the brand had some form of editorial influence on the...

  • Taking a moment: How togetherness drives creativity

    June 29, 2023

      Whether kicking ideas around a design huddle, a quiet word of support from a colleague, or unplanned drinks after work, shared moments energise us as creatives. Now just to allay any fears, this is not a middle-aged man’s call to return to a five-day office week. I like going into the office. I also like working from home with a steaming cup of tea on my desk and no commute. But I was recently...

  • Money20/20 Europe: the focus for fintech comms moving forwards

    June 20, 2023

      And just like that, another Money20/20 Europe has come and gone. It was somewhat a little surprising to feel as though this year’s show was even bigger and better than last year’s. Extravagant stands, high energy and where else would you get to network on a pedalo and have donuts served to you by a robot?   Was this a completely accurate reflection of the fintech industry now? Probably more likely that the outlandish displays...

  • From valuation to profitability: internal comms priorities for fintechs in these times of change 

    May 19, 2023

    It’s no secret that a gear shift has been felt in the fintech industry. Valuation was once a sign of success and unicorn status was a much sought-after title. However, as we continue to see reduced valuations and funding amidst a tough economic landscape, profitability is fast becoming the holy grail. The team at Money20/20  recently looked into this move away from focusing on valuation in its latest report, ‘Welcome to the age of Centaurs’...
