We all know the scene. It’s a scene that’s played out in households around the world every morning.

He imagined a world where medical writing […]

Warmth. Empathy. Emotion. These three words certainly aren’t the ones that jump to mind when you think of medical communications, are they? And considering that the medical profession is centred around keeping humans well and healthy, this is weird, right? Sure, medicine is confusing. From doctors with their stereotypical illegible writing, to surgeons in films […]

It’s no surprise that LinkedIn is seen as the Marmite of social media by marketers. To some, it’s the ultimate marketing platform, where you can find, connect with and directly sell to your target market all in the one place, and without spending a penny. For others, it’s a cesspit of humblebraggers, self-promoters, cryptocurrency hustlers […]

Not to put a downer on the miracle of humanity or anything, but one of the biggest problems with human nature, is that we’re hard-wired to constantly try to better ourselves. Take a look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs below. This is one of the simplest ways to explain the idea that we humans all […]

Today is International Men’s Day (IMD), a day where we can celebrate the contributions and value that men bring to the world, their families and communities. So, let’s all first embrace the nearest bloke we see (I’m sure they’ll understand), and then read on to learn about the six pillars on which IMD is founded:1 […]

Whatever you’re writing, getting people to notice it is always the most important part.

Have you ever read a self-help book?

How would next weekend’s Sunday roast go down if you only cooked the chicken for twenty minutes? You already know, don’t you? The chicken would be close to raw. The meat would be pink and rubbery. Everyone would get food poisoning and you’d drop even further in your in-laws’ already quite low estimation of you. […]

The dreaded blank page. We’ve all been there. When you need to come up with an amazing advert, a wonderful white paper or a barnstorming (could’ve gone with brilliant, went with barnstorming) blog post, and the words simply don’t come.
