In our #HumansBehindTheHandles chat with Lauren Plüss - Marketing & Digital Comms Strategist, she reminded us that a quiet post can still land deeply with someone who needed it, especially when it’s about things like mental health and looking after yourself. 💛

Unfortunately we do love:

→ showing my friends how to post aesthetic IG stories
→ saving 500 trending audios I'm never going to use
→ my cat appearing on zoom calls
→ clients telling me they "love my work"
→ fun and creative brand guidelines
→ convincing myself "doomscrolling" is research for work

A great guide here on designing with accessibility in mind! ⬇️
I chuff on about accessibility a lot. It's important. Usually droning on about alt text.

Anyway, if you'd like to know how to make *digital things you make* more inclusive you could do a lot worse than look at this visual guide to designing for accessibility:

When AI-generated action figures took over social media, we hit pause before joining in.

Sometimes a moment’s thought about strategic value makes all the difference, especially for causes trying to build lasting engagement.

😮‍💨 Not every message needs an instant reply. You’re allowed to pause. To finish what you’re doing. To not be “on it” every second of the day.

Slower replies can make space for better thinking and less stress.

Take a little breathing room today. 💛

✍️ Comms can be powerful without being pushy. And if your audience already feels overwhelmed - with life, money, work, the news - pressure-heavy language can make things worse.

Calm copy still converts, and it builds trust, which is what matters long-term. 💛

Confusing emails don’t just waste time - they are sneaky little stress-creators.

One of our favourite tricks to take the tension out of your inbox is The 3C Rule. Clearer communication = less stress all round.

And this is why we do it! 😍

Thank you, @steffdesimone.bsky.social, the pleasure is ours too. 💛
Having worked with Catnip for the last 3 years on our digital Christmas appeals, I can say they are brilliant to work with. Our results have been amazing.
Navigating the twists and turns of the digital landscape can feel like reading a map upside down… in a storm… while being chased by a bear (aka the algorithm).

#SpotifyWrapped is BACK! That time of year when our feeds explode with colorful pie charts, top artists, and a very personal walk down musical memory lane.

But Spotify Wrapped isn’t just a fun way to reflect. It’s a marketing masterpiece.

We love to see other charities and brands jump on this trend. Have you seen any that deserve a mention? Let us know!
