SHIFT ’s Post

Finimize has been shortlisted to feature at the inaugural SXSW London show in 2025, but we need your help to make it a reality. The shortlisted talks have been opened to a public vote, so we need your votes to get selected. We're proposing a presentation on the importance of saving and investing for the long-term. It's a massive opportunity to take a step closer to achieving our mission: increasing the net worth of a generation. So register for a free account (link in the comments) and then vote for "No one’s coming to save you: how to close the savings gap" to see us up on stage next year. 🚀

SXSW is coming to London in 2025 and PriestmanGoode has submitted two topics for the conference platform - which are now up for a public vote. In the Connected Mobility stream look out for “Equitable travel, a better experience for everyone” taking for the discussion on more accessible journeys and the use of AI and other technologies to enhance the experience - a topic close to our hearts with our work on AirforAll. The second topic is in the Design stream: “Design can heal the world and improve our lives” - in which we will discuss the current perception of sustainability and argue for a different approach that prioritises natural, human-centred and regenerative design principles. Follow the instructions below to log into the SXSW London site and vote - we’d appreciate your support and hope you can join us for the event in June next year. The deadline for voting is 19th December. #design #SXSW #SXSWLondon #mobility #air4all #inclusivedesign #connectedmobility #futurejourneys #regenerativedesign #sustainabledesign #AI

A quick favour…. SXSW London, the legendary, tech, music and film festival is coming to town in March 2025 - well worth attending if you can. There is a public vote for potential sessions and I would really love your help voting for the three I have proposed. All of them are about how we can use effective creativity and communications to save the planet. This isn’t just about brands and advertising - it is about planet health being a public health issue and how the power of creative communications can help change attitudes and behaviours. I really think it’s an important and timely topic, and would love the chance to really elevate it at the festival. I have managed to get some amazing speakers for the panels too. Details of how to vote are below. If you have that time and support the idea then I’d really appreciate a vote. The session names are below - just type them into the search list box once you're in. 1. Marketing the planet 2. Creativity will save us 3. Answering the Attenborough brief Thanks all. 🙏 #SXSWLondon2025 #Creativity #ClimateCommunications #Sustainability #Advertising #Marketing

I looked up candidates where there was not enough information for an evaluation on the link above. Arguments for and against amendments are here: https://lnkd.in/gx9mS8uq Additional information on bonds and other issues are here: https://lnkd.in/gRzE-hpP If you are confused about an issue and want additional information, feel free to reach out and I’ll try directing you to a resource without inserting my opinion. I personally left a few issues/candidates blank when I did not have a strong preference or felt that despite my best efforts I could not get enough information to have an informed opinion. Some of the issues are complicated to think through. Do your best to have an informed vote.
