For years, businesses have focused on being found by customers as quickly and easily as possible. With our reliance on technology and our digital world, ranking as highly as possible on Google is key. But a fundamental shift is changing how customers discover brands online, and many organisations haven't yet realised it's happening.

Pancreatic cancer is a silent killer. Its early symptoms - fatigue, back pain, unexplained weight loss - are easily mistaken for everyday ailments or dismissed entirely. Tragically, the warning signs often go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Despite its quiet onset, pancreatic cancer is one of the UK’s deadliest cancers. Only 8% of those diagnosed survive beyond five years, and just 1% reach the ten-year mark. It is now the fifth biggest cancer killer and the tenth most common cancer in the UK. These stark statistics underscore the urgency to shine a light on its subtle symptoms and make early diagnosis the norm - not the exception.

Celebrated later this week, the focus of International Women’s Day this year is accelerating action. A key sector which could benefit from such accelerated action is the construction sector. It is a major contributor to our economy, but its contribution is being suppressed with a lack of diversity.   

The statistics are stark. According to the Office for National Statistics, women make up just 15.8% of the total construction workforce, with those in director-level roles at low single figures. Yet, companies with diverse leadership teams consistently outperform competitors both financially and operationally. The absence of female voices at the top is not just an equality issue—it’s impacting on the performance of the sector and, in turn, our wider economy.

Science has always been a catalyst for progress, shaping the way we understand and navigate the world. Yet, for centuries, the contributions of women in science have been overlooked, and despite many efforts, a yawning gender gap at a senior level in science persists.  

Today we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This acknowledges the impact of female scientists.  But why do we need days like this and initiatives like Senior Women in Science (SWIS), established by Perceptive Communicators, which aims to help move the needle on the number of women in senior positions? 

In an era of information overload, social media users are increasingly discerning. So how can businesses ensure their messages aren’t falling on deaf ears? Charles H. Green’s Trust Equation states that the key elements of trust are underpinned by levels of “self-orientation”. In a business context, this can refer to how much a brand tailors its external communications to the interests of its audience

It is perhaps not surprising that a panel of people engrossed in housing in the UK would paint a stark picture of the situation we face.
