I wake up every morning looking for what’s next. My next favourite pair of shoes, next favourite artist, graphic designer, Instagrammer, or whatever it may be.

Content creation is a huge part of digital marketing. We are constantly aiming to create compelling, informative content that people want to read while remaining relevant to the brands we represent. Great content is the cornerstone of a successful digital marketing strategy. It steers campaigns and creates a brand voice, and can even launch a brand into thought-leader status – the ultimate goal.

Welcome back, readers! After a great holiday, we’re back to the races and working away once again. Some of us took a nice extended holiday break, namely me, and others took a few days off for a lovely staycation in the city, which was rudely interrupted by an ice storm followed by a deep freeze.

Most people would say Kanye West is living the dream. He is pursuing a successful career doing what he loves, he is engaged to be married to one of the most famous (or is it infamous?) women in the world, and he’s out there changing the world (according to him, of course).
