I’m the publisher of Communicate magazine and Transform magazine. If my posts are work-related they’ll be about corporate communications or brand strategy and design. If they’re out of hours they’ll be about music or food.
Two weeks away. Great sign ups so far - I'm as much looking forward to the networking as I am to the conference sessions!

Google photos just gave me a ‘memory’ of my wedding. My anniversary isn’t actually for another 8 days - is this a deliberate ploy to remind me to go out and buy an anniversary present??

For the past 5 years I've taken part in Concern UK's Ration Challenge, raising money & awareness of refugees globally. The Syrian conflict created 6m refugees, with 7.2m displaced internally. Amazing that so many will now hopefully be able to go home. I so hope the next stage runs smooth.

What a week - two days in New York, discussing next year's Transform Awards North America (and the New York conference) and then straight back for two days of judging the Transform Awards Europe. According to my sleep tracker app, this week I've met 9% of my sleep target!

What’s the point in having a purpose statement if you’re not going to bother implementing it? You might as well go down the Google route (Don’t Be Evil) and have something anodyne and unmeasurable
Fewer than half of top professional services firms have a clear purpose
For firms that do have purpose statements, these are rarely implemented bit.ly/3CQgXJu

This is genuinely fascinating. Perhaps generating traffic for other media key to the success of BlueSky. As all other social platforms now downgrade links, Bluesky could become the natural home for news organisations.
Traffic from Bluesky to @bostonglobe.com is already 3x that of Threads, and we are seeing 4.5x the conversions to paying digital subscribers.

Oh man! Is there any more stressful a rite of passage than your first dinner party. My 15yr old wanted one for a birthday party! They’ve made it to the first course. All the tears, explosions and drama in the prep have disappeared and now all I can hear is laughter and merriment. Phew!

What kind of cheeky f_ery is this? I'm currently mid-flight, Singapore to Sydney. I had a bit of a sleep, then did some work & now about to go back to sleep & ive just realised the person (a stranger) on the aisle seat (the middle seat is empty) has all three pillows from our seats. He's fast asleep

I’m not American, so what do I know, but I thought one of the appeals of Trump was his stand against ‘the swamp’. Surely keeping the ethics report of Matt Gaetz under wraps is about as swampy as it gets!
