I have been screaming this from rooftops for the past decade. Specially in B2B marketing. 95% of brands are still afraid to explore beyond their old standard, but let me tell you something, your buyer is a human, that will see on a daily basis over 20-50 ads through his socials, newsfeeds and sites. Most of those ads will say nothing to the buyer. Your 50% off ad? He has seen 10 of those before arriving at yours. Another demo video? Oh, your competitors already did one before he even got to yours. Does he remember it? Heck no. It all goes into the void. He won't even register the ad. You know what he will register? Humor. Heart. Emotions. Humaniyu. Something that will make him laugh, cry. Something that will make him relate. Relate is the keyword. And most important: remember. You might be wary of what I am saying. But I have been doing exactly that for a lot of companies throughout the years and brands. And the impact has always been succesful. A great example in the Print Industry is Enfocus. Some might be sceptical, others might find it weird. But the result is there. I have heard from several customers more about Print Hard than about the latest update of PitStop. I have heard about characters we created in campaigns more often than any promo we ever did. Why does it work? Because everyone wants to belong. To be part of something awesome. And that is what I am continously fighting for. Making your brand awesome. But beware, the most difficult thing is to remain genuine. You can add a piano and a soft voice to create emotions but if it doesn't come from rhe right place, it will just go into the void.

🎭 "Being taught drama can transform your life." 🎭 This theme was highlighted by both Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy at this year's Labour Party (UK) Conference, in which they both highlighted the critical importance of arts in education. The National Curriculum requires every state funded school to promote children's cultural development, preparing them for the experiences of later life. However, whilst the private school sector is able to invest in cultural education, the state sector has suffered a significant reduction in provision, due in part to the marginalisation of arts subjects in schools over the past twenty years. Children from low income are missing out the most because they are less likely to have cultural experiences outside of school. Furthermore, the ongoing cost-of-living crisis has led to a reduction in school trips, including theatre visits. Society of London Theatre & UK Theatre believe that every child has the right to go to the theatre, to experience the joy and opportunity that it can bring.

"Where would we end up if everyone could do whatever they wanted?" – But perhaps this is precisely the key – to self-awareness, further development and overcoming personal problems. In our new episode, we get to know Mohammad & Hussein Eliraqui and the ACT e.V. | Führe Regie über dein Leben theater group. Here, young people work together to develop plays based on the "veto principle" on topics that are hot on their minds. The rule of thumb here is that everyone can do (or not do) what they want – within a certain framework. This approach encourages personal responsibility and self-reflection on the part of the participants. The results are fascinating, sometimes provocative and sometimes moving. For this episode, we accompanied the group working on their new piece "A safe haven" („Zuflucht“). See for yourself.

Catherine Tate's critique of theatre ticket pricing resonates with many who feel that the arts should be accessible to all. She argues that lowering ticket prices from £50 would encourage broader attendance, emphasising that theatre should be inclusive. High costs can deter potential audiences, effectively excluding those unable to afford such expenses. Additionally, Tate challenges the practice of casting television stars solely to attract audiences, advocating instead for selecting actors best suited to their roles. This perspective highlights concerns about the commercialisation of theatre and underscores the importance of merit-based casting to preserve the integrity of theatrical productions.
