Formal tailoring may no longer be requisite work uniform across the board and post COVID, the concept of hybrid working has become more of the norm. But in the main, our classic 9-5 working hours remain the default. Offices are structured around it, schools align with it, and most businesses expect it. But when it comes to creativity, this rigid schedule might be one of the biggest barriers to innovation.

Creativity is not a nine-to-fiver

Now it is December, and I’m legitimately allowed to mention the C word, I’ve decided to share my opinion on the most exciting moment in the marketing industry’s calendar, the Christmas ad drop. Every year I look forward to the big Christmas ads, the ones that get everyone talking, debating, sobbing into their mince pies, or even reaching for the sick bag. And while John Lewis and Waitrose sit under the same parent company, this year the two brands couldn’t have taken more different approaches.

Imagine this: instead of typing a question into Google, you open TikTok and search ‘best lunch spots near me’, ‘how to style wide-leg jeans’, or ‘best budget laptop’. That world isn’t coming - it’s already here.

In a world dominated by digital, it’s easy to assume that ‘traditional’ advertising - such as linear TV, radio, out-of-home - would have faded into the background. After all, social platforms offer hyper-targeting, instant analytics, and endless creative formats. And yet, year after year, linear ads continue to hold their ground. In fact, for certain campaigns, they’re still the gold standard. So what is the secret strength of linear advertising, and what lessons can digital advertisers - especially in social - take from its resilience?

Move over, man’s best friend - Britain’s cats are quietly (and smugly) claiming the crown. For years, dogs have reigned supreme as the nation’s number one companion. But new data from The Times shows that cat products now outsell dog products by almost a third. Yes, you read that right: the feline uprising has begun. And for pet brands, this isn’t just a curious cultural shift - it’s a business opportunity with claws.

During a week when we have celebrated World EV Day, I thought I would share my experience of 42 months of EV ownership experience, first with a Tesla Model 3 and then with a BMW iX. The biggest challenge with the brand-new Tesla I leased on a 6-month subscription was getting the speed limiter turned off from its 26mph. Luckily a trip to Heathrow Tesla resolved that issue and help set the car up, just like you would a phone or computer.

The transition to cleaner energy sources in the transportation sector has been a key focus in the UK as part of its broader strategy to reduce carbon emissions and tackle air pollution. Bio Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has emerged as a promising alternative to diesel, gaining traction among operators, particularly now more choice is available, and the refuelling infrastructure continues to improve.

For years, the internet ran on clickbait. Headlines like ‘You Won’t Believe What Happened Next’ or ‘This Simple Trick Changed Everything’ lured us into articles that almost always delivered far less than they promised. But times are changing. In 2025, the web-savvy audience is no longer falling for it and in many cases, they’re skipping the click altogether.

Ever since electric cars came onto the scene, there’s been an ongoing debate about whether you should still be buying a new petrol or diesel vehicle. 10 years ago, the answer was fairly easy: while there were obvious environmental benefits to driving a zero-emission vehicle, the infrastructure wasn’t in place, the upfront costs were too high, and the choice was too limited for Team Electric to win much support.

Nowadays, as meetings happen from kitchen tables and billion-dollar deals are signed electronically, many of us worry face-to-face interaction is ancient history. But as we’re becoming more digitised, something contradictory is happening — the value of in-person human connection is actually rising.

For years, LinkedIn was the platform you visited when you needed to update your job title, connect with colleagues, or scroll through congratulatory posts about promotions. It was functional, professional, and - in the eyes of many - a little predictable.
