I’m fairly new to the #CommsHero world, little did I know that despite living and breathing comms since Uni, there was such a huge bunch of awesome people waiting to say hello and unleash their inner hero. The tables, perfectly set with personalised note books and goody bags full of swag,…
CommsHero – Keeping it real since 2014
June 17, 2019
by Josephine Graham @iojosy I’ve never worked in London. I’ve visited a few times and it’s nice enough. You’ve got some great museums, a few palaces and a heck of a lot of company headquarters. And with all that corporate workforce to cater for, London also has scores of breakfast briefings,…

An epic learning experience, on a truly heroic scale

Why Chair?
March 29, 2019
To say I was honoured and filled with excitement to be asked to chair the final @CommsHero event of 2016 could be a slight understatement. However, with that giddiness came with it a feel of responsibility – these events get A LOT of attention and A LOT of coverage; quite rightly…
