We’re sharing with you our latest article on getting the timing right when working with the media. On top of that, we’ve written about remote work and pay cuts, as well as a Yale study on AI replacing workers (hint: it’s not happening yet).

The UK media space is becoming increasingly competitive, as brands vie to communicate with journalists in an effort to gain repeated exposure. Add into the mix that journalism is such a fast-paced world – and you’ll see why timing is everything.

Our article deep-dives Pritchett's talk, looking at the rise of tech and what we can do to prevent communication costing us our productivity.
