While there are signs that lockdown is starting to ease, the truth remains that a return to normal working patterns is a distant ambition for many businesses. Government advice for the foreseeable future will be that employees should work from home wherever possible and that means business owners will have to work harder to maintain a sense of corporate culture both internally and externally.

At Truth we spend a lot of time getting to know our clients, this is because we believe it is essential for us to understand what they do, how they do it and why they do it. Only then can we identify the problems they need to solve and where we can add value in overcoming these challenges. We spend a lot of time conducting workshops (or Truth Labs as we call them) to better help us gain more of this vital insight.

The Rivers Trust has been chosen as the first of two new pro bono clients by Truth Creative.

Truth Creative has checked into leisure, property and student lettings business Parklane Group with a remit to support branding and creative campaigning.

Soft-skills are often underrated or lacking acknowledgment in their importance for everyday challenges. It’s arguably one of the most testing times of our modern history, but it’s important to note that change for good rarely happens through sheer panic or speed at the detriment of a well-thought-out plan.

Businesses all over the world are asking themselves how, and if, they can pivot and start offering something of value during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, more than ever - brands need to think on their feet. Pivoting is key during these times to not only stay in business but also to realise the current business setup can provide alternative value during this crisis.

The world has stopped for coronavirus, with restrictions on pretty much every aspect of everyday life.

It’s unquestionably a worrying time for business owners and brands, with concerns about commercial survival paramount in most minds. But if there is one positive to come of this global crisis, it’s the opportunity that it’s provided for people to pause their daily routines and take stock. That applies to businesses and brands too, with even large multinational companies no longer conducting business as normal.

As the world enters a period of uncertainty, how we communicate on social media has become more important than ever.

Long gone are the days of capitalising on relevant events and tying these into your brand – consumers want more, and rightly so.

Let’s forget for a moment that we’re now living through extraordinary times and explore the challenges that were already being faced by the education sector in competing for students.

It’s a subject we’ve become particularly close to, fortunate enough to advise both established education providers and what we firmly believe to be one of the most exciting new entrants in the market.

A complete brand overhaul is a huge commitment for any business. It requires a great deal of strategy, patience and usually money.

As a designer I have always been an advocate for the power of design thinking and the positive impact it can have on any problem. In fact, I strongly believe if anything will one day save the world from itself, it will be design. The one thing about design process that has never really sat well with me is ‘design by committee’ and the common tendency to over-think the problem.
