Not much tops a good ol' escape room for an end of year bash!

Last week's festivities were filled with good food, lots of problem solving, and plenty of laughs. Now, it's time for a well deserved break - our office will be closed from 25 December to 3 January, with most of our team back on deck on 6 January.

We're looking forward to an even bigger and better 2025. Onwards!

Are your own expectations getting in the way of your leadership?

It's easy to get away with wanting the best for you and your team, but this may not be the way forward.

For our Chief Storyteller Mark Jones, it's not about perfection, but it's about managing your expectations and creating a space where both you and your team can move forward together.

Did you watch today's U.S. Presidential Debate?

One of the reasons it's such an intriguing race to the White House is that the line between the personal and the political has never been more blurred.

Check out this recent episode of The CMO Show where we explore just that.

In this episode of The CMO Show, Mark is joined by Emma Webster, Director at Hawker Britton Group.   There are approximately 100 days to go until the US presidential election and candidates have only just been announced. It’s shaping up to be a widely controversial popularity contest.&am
