When your vision is clear so is your future.

The best solutions are often the simplest ones.

I was recently at the EMEA PROI conference in Prague and was asked several great questions around influencer marketing and my opinions on how to do it the right way. It got me thinking - and I don’t believe there’s a universally right way go about it - each case, and each brand, is unique and requires something a little different than the next. However, as a starting point, I think there are...

KISS has announced the appointment of David Isaacson to the role of Head of Strategy, Laura Ketteridge as Senior Account Manager, Lamour Nash as PR Account Executive and Olivia Halpin as Junior Designer. All four appointments follow a strong end to the agency’s financial year and form part of KISS’s ongoing plans to grow and continue to meet the needs of clients within the science, technology...

‘Fake news’ isn’t even news any more. Donald Trump is right in one way: as online ‘news’ sites proliferate daily, and the regulations lag behind the times, fake news is a reality. So, it’s important to think about which news sites you can trust and what to do if you suspect a ‘fact’ isn’t true. And since, in the fight for attention, news and advertising are inextricably linked (finding news is...

I recently had the pleasure of reading Richard Shotton’s The Choice Factory, in which he outlines 25 behavioural biases that influence what we buy. As a junior planner myself, I would thoroughly recommend reading this book – it gives you practical advice on how to apply behavioural science in your work and is full of great anecdotes and case studies.

Last week three of us headed over to the EMEA PROI conference in Prague. This year’s theme was centred on ‘Building Trust’ – with a particular emphasis on the current scenario playing out across Europe – and how agencies can support clients within this field.

At KISS we’re firm believers in the power of engaging with audiences and doing this through emotional brand storytelling. We host workshops with clients to help them tell their own brand story, however a couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of being participants in one – rather than the facilitators – and it was very refreshing!

I recently read another piece on decluttering your home, as espoused by clear-out guru Marie Kondo. This got me thinking about how powerful it is when you declutter a brand.

YouTube bristles with ‘Black Mirror’ reviews, some deciding which of its dystopian views of tech gone wrong is nearest to coming true. Surprisingly not all include Series 3’s ‘Nosedive’ where ‘likes’ are lifeblood – people give and receive ratings for all interactions. Characters’ entire lives are determined by their rating and a bad score from one place sticks around. But it’s closer to...

Recent experience in the first-ever Time Out Market in Lisbon got me thinking. Why a food hall, why now, and what can marketers and Boards learn?

I’ve lost count of how many times in my (very lengthy!) PR career I have recommended to clients that they should be media trained, only to be told that ‘the marketing budget won’t stretch to it’ or ‘we don’t think we need it’.

I was blown away by this article about advanced UK research into growing buildings – yes, buildings that are actually alive! Despite being really busy at work it got me scanning the article and thinking about innovation – why we need dreamers and pragmatists, and (as a confirmed pragmatist) what makes great communication that dispels tech’s negative image and gets readers doing what you need...

We live in busy times and are bombarded with messages, but I have had a few reminders lately of the power of communications – especially images – to change behaviour, sometimes even globally.

It’s now a month on from Cereals 2019 – the arable industry’s leading technical event which brings together farmers, agronomists and others working in agriculture from all over the country. Key issues facing the industry are addressed by leading speakers in sponsored stages, and technological innovations are unveiled at the hundreds of stands that are neatly lined up in the huge field. This...

The term disruptor is overused, partly thanks to Donald Trump.

Back again for 2019 is Mary Meeker’s internet trends report. First issued in 1995 it still has enormous relevance, packed with everything you need to know about what trends will dominate the market and have an impact on businesses and tech. Here’s what I found most interesting but if you’re keen to know more then have a read here. Although be warned, there are 333 slides!

As the erratic summer weather continues even the hardcore wild swimmers at KISS might not be in the River Cam all week.
Cambridge based, integrated creative agency KISS is proud to be a member of PROI Worldwide, which has just announced it has increased its 2018 net fee income by 10% to almost US$ one billion.

Integrated marketing agency KISS has appointed Kathryn Sparrow as Account Director as part of its ongoing growth plan to meet new business requirements across the tech and science sectors.

Sarah Reakes, Managing Director at KISS, writes:I’ve been lucky enough to live in New Zealand, and I’ve followed and admired Jacinda Ardern since she became Prime Minister there in late 2017. Even before the tragic Christchurch shootings I admired her work, her words and her evident humanity.

Video games have been around for years, but I feel attitudes and the understanding towards the gaming community has changed dramatically over the last five years. I remember when I was growing up, my mum would always tell me that video games would melt my brain or the...
