Thinking Digital has been described as “arguably the UK’s most important conference,” so you know I leapt at the chance to attend the 2017 show in my native Newcastle. Following the scent of pasty*, I headed northwards…

Bringing marketers from Cambridge and beyond together at the beautiful grounds of Robinson College, On The Edge Digital’s annual B2B Marketing Conference showcased a series of top speakers, useful strategies and fascinating insights.

What were my main takeaways from the day?

Why are machines useless at understanding context? Why are visuals essential to good communication with humans? Why is Buzz Aldrin planning a settlement on Mars? We went to Silicon Beach's London event to find out. 

We're whale-y pleased to be (hump)backing the Bouygues UK e-Luminate Festival for the second year running, sponsoring a killer light display that will be porpoisely projected next to the whale skeleton hanging outside the University Museum of Zoology.

What can you learn at one of Cambridge's top networking events if you don't particularly like networking? Lots, it turns out, as we discovered when we went to the Cambridge B2B Exhibition 2016.

Insights from Google, IBM and Microsoft plus an exploration of the V&A's digital projects, the wonders of gut bacteria, and a story about Kevin Costner's dog - it's Thinking Digital 2016. Here are some of our highlights from the two-day conference at Sage Gateshead in the mighty fine city of Newcastle.

We went to London's City University to be part of World Information Architecture Day 2016, where the common thread in a thought-provoking day of talks was the power of collaboration.

Friday 9 October saw more than 150 copywriters descend on Haberdashers’ Hall, London, for a packed day of talks, workshops and relaxed networking. It was CopyCon 2015 and the Sookio gang were there to soak up the creative atmos. What were our highlights?

This summer our director Sue Keogh was invited on board the Creative Express to mentor talented young copywriters, designers and art directors from across Europe.
