Should you get political with your content?

By Helen

Should your content get political? Do politics and business mix?

It’s pretty hard to ignore politics at the moment. We know there will be an election in the UK this year. You can’t miss all the shenanigans in the USA. There’s a whole load of other countries going to the polls. And that’s just elections. It seems every day brings up something that takes you […]

Don’t forget to go back and change the title

By Helen

Whether it’s a title, a subject line or an opening sentence in a social media post, they all share something in common. They’re often the bit that’s get written first, and never looked at again.

Not all of those things are necessarily bad news, but things we might have thought/hoped were consigned to the […]

If ChatGPT is so good, why is copy still so dull?

By Helen

AI generated image of hands of different skin tones. On first look they appear to be fine, but on closer inspection there's a hand with five fingers, odd shapes and lengths.

It’s the end of the first year since ChatGPT and other AI tools exploded and went mainstream. It was going to be the end of dull copy. For many small businesses, it seemed like the perfect answer. It was simple, and it was free. For some things, they’re brilliant tools. But not infallible. If you’ve […]
