Does Bluesky feel like it's going to to grow further, I wonder, or is that it now, has it reached its peak 🤔

Local lass!

Rounded off the week by delivering the results of a very in-depth healthcare charity marketing audit... ... Then off to Culford School to talk careers and comms, the importance of resilience and curiosity, and what's on the horizon with AI and all that jazz ✨

It's local elections in England today...why not listen to the latest episode of Communication Untangled as you stroll up to the polling station! Untangling Votes, with Whitney Quesenbery from the Center for Civic Design: Spotify: loom.ly/v_7I1WA Apple: loom.ly/JyaHXGY sookio.com/podcast

The week so far: 🌟 One client rebrand 🌟 One Enterprise Nation Tech Hub webinar to 262 people 🌟 One Cambs Chamber of Commerce talk on marketing in 2025 Busy busy 🐝

Meetings in interesting places! London looking gorgeous today, full of life, love it. I'm here to kick off a new project to help a global healthcare consultancy restructure their marketing function, from the inside out

Example of pointless comms to start the week! Large sign on doctor's reception saying PLEASE DO NOT STAND AT THIS END OF THE COUNTER Why not tell people what they *should* do, make it obvious, rather than berating them and giving no guidance on the right approach 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Democracy is a design problem.” Next up on Communication Untangled, Whitney Quesenbery, Co-Founder of the Center for Civic Design in Washington, joins me to Untangle Votes. We’ll talk hanging chads. #DogsInPollingStations! And lots more... 🎙️ Listen, like and subscribe! sookio.com/podcast

Meetings in pretty places today 🌸 #Cambridge #spring

So that's a jam-packed 3-day set of treats booked: * Throwing Muses at the Electric Ballroom in Camden * Spa day * Tour of Tower Bridge which I've had to rearrange 3 times * Royal Academy for exhibition of Victor Hugo drawings Yum ✨

Lots of interesting healthcare projects on at the mo... * comms audit & new messaging framework for a cancer charity * consultancy for a global research team; overhauling marketing function, need to know what good looks like * comms training for a world-renowned heart hospital + rare disease charity

Complete difference in perceptions about rail replacement bus services, between my son and me. Me: Oh no, don't tell me all the trains were cancelled, I know what THAT means 🤦🏻‍♀️😭🙈🤮 Him, cheerful: That's OK, I like the bus!

Just astonishing, isn't it, how one person can just clap his hands and all THIS happens with no one standing up to stop him. Not just tariffs, but the science funding, global aid, DEI, education... Just this avalanche of stuff being bulldozed through at an unstoppable pace

Lovely to catch up with an old friend I used live with at college. 10 of us in the house, me on the top floor in a bedsit room, him in a room so small he could reach out and touch all four walls, shower in the basement. And I used to work behind the bar at this pub round the corner. Good times, man!

Love Cambridge in the spring

Not to flex, but it's nearly April and my poinsettia is still alive
