A Lido Wedding

Last week I celebrated two things: the last days of our indian summer and a friend's wedding. 

I visited four lidos (yes, 4!). I have to say this one beats most of them for atmosphere and just being a bit of a lido-legend.

After a "trial period" of 12 years, last weekend Lottie and Ian were married at Brockwell Lido.

Visual Minutes for Thames Valley Police

An evening talking to local community leaders held by Thames Valley Police in Reading. 

The speaker who held everyone wrapt was James Pile, a local youth worker. In his words, inviting children into the police cars to try out the police siren played a big part in breaking down police/community barriers at a recent community event. 

Sometimes it's the little things!

Yesterday I was working for Sky on the challenge of managing people with the aim of creating better working relationships.

Have to say, great venue (and view) @SkyloftLondon as well :)

Drawings for Edinburgh University's MBA

Some more drawings for an online marketing course for Edinburgh Uni, this part is all about the use of unique selling points (USP's) in this case Elvis and Kresse's amazing bags made from London Fire Brigade's recycled fire hoses.

Also the clever use of repackaging and moving with the times that Heinz has continued to do, in order to keep selling ketchup:

Although I'm more into mustard now, after drawing all those bottles :)

Online Marketing Course and the EU referendum results

It's been a strange past few days.

I've been doing some drawings for an online marketing course for Edinburgh University's MBA, and was struck by certain similarities.

This week I've been working on a two day conference in Canary Wharf, London: "RETHINK! H.R. and Technology Minds 2016".

Lots of presentations, workshops, and some heated discussion - and that was before anyone even mentioned the referendum!

Graphic Recording, Catch 22: Realising Ambition, Birmingham

Last month I was up in Birmingham working on an event hosted by Catch 22's programme 'Realising Ambition'.

http://www.catch-22.org.uk/programmes-services/realising-ambition/

The two interactive workshops highlighted the importance of recording evidence whilst delivering services, as well as the funding implications. 

Two charities 'The Anne Frank Trust' and 'Working With Men' told their story, and then in each workshop there was a discussion on how to use evidence effectively.

Thanks to Julius Hinks for asking me to cover this event.
