Every marketing leader I talk to is facing the same challenge: Scale 📶 The demand for content has exploded, but the systems behind it haven’t kept up. Teams are expected to launch more campaigns, in more markets, with more data, all while maintaining brand integrity and speed.

There is thunder in my heart as tomorrow’s swift brick debate looms. As Zac Goldsmith says, swift bricks should have been mandated without a campaign yet this campaign has consumed the last 3 years of my life. Please raise your voice in support of #swiftbricks

PROCEDURAL INTIMIDATION developers Appeal: Developer’s KC prevented reading of official stats in open hearing. This is Aarhus breach in action -silencing locals for overdev. The Bill (Schedule 7) would entrench suppression.@UKHouseofLords @paulpowlesland @ChrisGPackham

Witches aren’t just flying by on Halloween night. Nature is full of spellbinding secrets all year round 🧙♀️ Keep an eye out for witches’ whiskers, a lichen with a bushy green beard that thrives in woodlands with clean air. A little bit of magic is everywhere 🌿✨
