• People want a hole in the wall, not a drill*.

  

  How often do you really think about what your audience – be it a consumer, a stakeholder, a client – really needs? What will resonate with them? What’s the solution they’re looking for? Their end goal? What we want to say, and what our audience wants to hear are often very different. To communicate effectively,…

• Once upon a time (yesterday, in fact) there was a storytelling conference…

Yesterday’s Market Research Society Storytelling conference was one of those days. I don’t often get the luxury of a full day to take a step back from the day job to…

• Why we should be more playful and tell more stories at work

  When I was about six I decided I wanted to do an English degree and then be a writer. I had my life all planned out, until the realisation hit me in the second year of my degree that I might actually have to get a job and earn some money rather than just sort…

• Pecha kucha returns to Manchester

  Last Thursday saw the return of pecha kucha to Manchester, at Manchester Art Gallery. Originally from Japan, the format of presenting 20 slides, with 20 seconds for each (auto-advancing) slide makes for a fairly fast-paced evening as each speaker only gets 6 minutes and 40 seconds to do their whole presentation before their time is…
