  • Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point.

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Research

We surveyed 1,000 PR, marketing and comms professionals to understand their experiences of mental health in the workplace – and the results were shocking. Half reported having experienced severe stress, anxiety or burnout in the last twelve months and nearly nine in ten who shared their mental health challenge with their company were not happy with the changes their employer put in place.
