STORYTELLING SUCCESS

Our storytelling trainer – actor, novelist and film director Danny Scheinmann – produced an original film telling real life stories of people living with psoriasis. The film was made in association with the See Psoriasis: Look Deeper campaign which looks at the wider impact of living with the skin disease.

THINGS WE’VE LIKED ON SOCIAL MEDIA

• European Commissioner takes to LinkedIn to sum up what he’s been doing the last two years. Not quite the point of social media.
• Propaganda spreads faster than truth. Journalists are now struggling to compete with the speed and intensity of misinformation on social media.
• Clear writing helps Belgium collect €18m in unpaid tax. Plain Language pays!
• A few sound blogging tips from Glenn Leibowitz.
• Free media gave Drumpf an incredible advantage over any other candidate – NY Times graphic.
