Why Should You Engage an Interim Marketing Manager/Director?
It’s 2021, and despite almost every form of digital and traditional marketing being widely accessible, not every business is actively engaged in marketing. It seems to make no sense, but it’s the way it is. Some of this will be down to the availability of funds, or perhaps the lack of it, but more often it’s about the mindset and culture of the business owners as unconsciously determined by the size of the business.

A bit about Clive Wilson
It didn’t start very well… School and I didn’t get on very well. At all. I failed all my exams and left with little more than a passion for electronics and an inquiring mind, always needing to understand how things worked (or mostly how things came apart and didn’t quite go back together again).

Can a Pseudo-Medieval Fantasy Help Make Us Better People?
For eight years, people raved about Game of Thrones. I didn't watch one of the 73 episodes that ran from 2011 to 2019. Swashbuckling knights, fire-breathing dragons, magical powers, witches, white walkers, and giants. Seriously?
