Social media in 2025 looks very different to even a few months (years) ago. It’s no longer just about showing up with polished posts and a strong brand, it’s about building genuine connections.

Your 2024 social media trend predictions.

by

It feels a little irresponsible for me as a digital marketing specialist and senior professional to share a trend predictions blog with you without a bit of a health and safety warning – or disclaimer of some kind if you like.

How does my plan help me be spontaneous on social media?

by

I was recently asked to speak at an event about social media for business; the event was an evening networking meet-up and the speaker brief was “a mini power talk circa 4 minutes long”. Ha. Think my time was up not long after I said my name and made a bad joke!
