    July 27, 2021

    Taking the Tube at the minute can still, at times, feel like time travel.  Around you are slightly tattered posters for theatre productions that haven’t been on stage for more than a year; ads for movies touted for cinema release that ended up quietly released to Netflix with little fanfare.

  • Under the influence: How reality stars’ Dubai trips could sink social media marketing

    January 27, 2021

    While online fitness guru Sheridan Mordew has undoubtedly succeeded at influencing people, she may be struggling to make friends.

  • A virtual what? Humans prefer their influencers to have real pulses

    January 23, 2021

    At last week’s annual tech expo CES, consumer electronics giant LG decided not to use a company executive or celebrity to present its latest products during its live-streamed keynote speech.
