Kinda chic to jump on a trend. Even more chic to know when not to. 👀

Trends can earn attention, create a moment of relatability, and, when there’s genuine search interest around them, even support discoverability.

But the goal isn’t to make every trending format fit your brand. It’s knowing which ones give you something relevant to say, and which ones are better left on your personal FYP.

We gave this one the green light. 😉

The final slide asks whether every trend is worth following, encouraging brands to choose trends that genuinely fit their strategy.

September already?! 👀

Q4 has a habit of arriving quickly, so now is the time to check what’s working, fix what isn’t and get ahead of the end-of-year rush.

Consider this your marketing reminder to look back, look ahead and get planning ✅

Some books you finish. Others stick with you. 📚

In honour of Book Week, we asked the TCC team to share the one book that has left a lasting impression on them, whether it changed their perspective, inspired them or simply became the book they recommend again and again.

Safe to say, our reading lists just got considerably longer. 👀

Sometimes, the best way to understand a client is to get out from behind the computer. 🌾

Our recent trip to Hughenden gave us the chance to experience the destination we’ve been marketing firsthand, from the landscapes and attractions to the people who make the region what it is.

We came home with a deeper understanding of our client, plenty of fresh content and ideas, and some pretty special memories along the way. 🧡

Turns out, getting to know your client can look a little like this. Thanks for having us, Visit Hughenden

Everyone has access to AI now.

Which means your competitive advantage isn't the tool. It's how you use it.

The brands that will stand out are the ones with a clear voice, a strong strategy and something meaningful to say.

AI simply helps bring it to life.

"Don't use scheduling tools. They kill your engagement."

We've heard this for over a decade. And honestly? We don't buy it.

After managing social media for hundreds of businesses across tourism, government, healthcare, education, professional services and not-for-profits, I've found the real issue usually isn't how the content is published.

It's what happens before and after you hit publish.

If you've ever wondered whether platforms like Loomly, Buffer or Hootsuite are hurting your reach, this one's for you --> https://loom.ly/leXwf1g

People aren't just Googling anymore.

⌨️ They're asking ChatGPT.
💻 They're reading AI summaries.
🧑‍💻 They're searching differently.

If your website hasn't evolved with the way people search, it could already be falling behind.
A future-ready website isn't about trends - it's about making sure your business can still be found, trusted and chosen.

"I constructed a month's worth of social media content in a matter of hours, not days."

That's exactly what good marketing tools should do - save you time, build your confidence and make showing up online feel easier.

Thank you, Louise Briony Hallam, for your incredibly kind words. It was an absolute pleasure working with you, and we're so proud of what we created together.
