The Metaverse for professional services firms
The term ‘metaverse’ has been around for 30 years, believe it or not! But most of us have only heard about it relatively recently and maybe only because Facebook rebranded to Meta in November 2021. What should you be doing to prepare for the metaverse in your professional services firm?

Happy New Year! By now, I’m sure we’d all hoped that the coronavirus pandemic would be well behind us and that ‘back to normal’ would be the ‘new normal’.

Marketing Review 2021

Are we human or are we robots?
With the ever-increasing technological advancements, especially through automation, organisations are risking falling into the trap of presenting themselves as robots rather than humans. Social media, in particular, is flooded with content, making it increasingly difficult to stand out and connect to a target audience. Covid 19 especially has made us more distant than ever, with endless Zoom calls replacing face to face meetings and events, businesses may have started to lose the ‘human touch’ and now is the time to embrace a more personal experience to reconnect with their target audience.
