I’m heading into 2025 as a Top 100 Marketer in the @altmarketingschool.bsky.social 'Marketing Consultants & Experts’ category!

I’ve always had an uncomfortable relationship with the term ‘marketing’. But I’ll have it as a good omen for 2025 thankyouverymuchy.

I've learned a lot that I can incorporate into my own work.
Color can be a great way to distinguish data points in charts. But don't rely on color alone to convey information, as that can make things difficult for colorblind users. Using different shapes or patterns can help. Make sure patterns or textures are simple and not distracting.

You know it's going to be a heavy day of client copywriting when you've loaded up 'Beautiful Relaxing Music for Stress Relief' on YouTube before 10am.

Social media has changed.

That's why we've posted 'X-scape' kits to leading voices at charities, media orgs and universities.

Early adoption of New Social is a great opportunity for the UK's leading institutions and we're excited to help them turn to better social alternatives.

Excuse for a romantic date night where we're forced to speak to each other? No, we're down the pub on our phones 🤣🤣
Power out due to the storm and not back for 24hrs apparently! Impromptu evening at the pub and then we’re on the candlelight... 😳😱
December 7, 2024 at 6:04 PM
Well, that's our evening scuppered. Power cut from 3pm, and they're hoping to have it restored by 1pm tomorrow... Does that mean we actually have to talk to each other now? 🤣 #Storm #PowerCut

Saddened to see another charity toppled. But will never forget attending a wedding where the father of the groom's speech extolled the virtutes of Relate and how if the couple ever encountered issues, even though it didn't save his own marriage, should go to a session or two. *Awkward*
Britain’s biggest relationship counselling charity is on the verge of insolvency after failing to overcome financial difficulties caused by a collapse in funding from NHS, school and local authority contracts.

Please don’t forget to make your content accessible over here. Here’s a few things you can do.
Add alt text to images, memes and gifs.

Caption your videos.

Capitalise the first letter of each word in hashtags.

Limit emojis to one or two per post, and put them at the end.

Avoid using fancy fonts.
