Recently, a longstanding client asked for something we didn’t really offer – but it made a lot of sense. So we tried it. We loved it. She raved about it (and when Mishkah Teladia raves, it’s really worth listening). And so we decided to open
Do you believe in New Year’s resolutions? I’m not a fan. I feel like they can often make you feel like there’s something about your life – or yourself – that you need to “fix”, and if you don’t stick to them, there’s a sense of
Whenever I sit down to write an end-of-year mailer, there’s a thought that always lingers at the back of my mind, skulking in the shadows, whispering: “Is anyone actually going to read this?”
