Today’s postman brought that increasingly rare thing: an interesting piece of direct mail. Arriving in an Amazon-style parcel, it appeared on first glance to be a fairly chunky book, entitled ‘Everything you ever wanted to know about direct mail’ (the 16th edition, no less).
Upon turning over the first leaf, however, this ‘book’ revealed itself to [...]

So the postal strikes have been called off, for the time being at least.
The Royal Mail and the Communication Workers Union finally reached some sort of agreement last week, promising that there would be no further disruption for the remainder of this year. Businesses up and down the land can therefore plan for Christmas knowing [...]

Last month the Communication Workers’ Union announced a series of 24-hour strikes across the country over pay, jobs and services. The current round of strikes started on Friday [...]

The leaflet distribution could almost have been invented for councils. Aside from ringing up every household within its boundary, there is no more effective and accurate way for a council to communicate its various messages to the people it serves.
Having worked with many councils across the UK over the years (42 at the last count!), [...]

Looks like we fell for an April Fool on our previous post - Slideshare decided to play “a little prank” on their users by adding an extra two zeros to the number of views on each presentation.
We had a bit of a chuckle about this in the office today - wishful thinking on our part! [...]
