Micro-content, as you might surmise, is tiny bites of content. This can come in any format (as this article will explore) but they will all have one important thing in common – these little nuggets of knowledge will ALL be easy to digest. No choking or blocked pipes here. I’m sure you will hear many […]
This week I had the opportunity to be a guest on Jo Gifford’s podcast, Blow up the Blueprint, where we talked all things creative thinking (and creative language). Before we dive into what can only be described as CREATIVE GENIUS (and a bit of flim flam), I thought I’d share a little about my history […]
I spend an inordinate amount of time online. I scroll through endless feeds, and click on all the links, and read all the posts… and usually? I end up kind of bored.

Do you want to hear something equal parts weird and exciting? 1 year ago today was my first official day working for myself. Yep. 365 days since Operation #freedaire was declared an almighty success. If I’m honest, I kind of thought I’d be back on the hunt for a day job around the 3 month […]

If you’ve been lurking around these parts for a while, you’ll know how much I love talking about creative content, and the impact it can have on your business – but what does it all actually mean?
