Today I am delighted to have on the podcast Adam to unpick and demystify SEO or search Engine Optimisation as part of January’s measurement and evaluation theme. Adam originally trained as a journalist and has experience on both sides of the agency divide having been in-house and an account director at an agency. Adam has been a CIPR Chartered Public Relations professional since 2020.
Adam set up Authentic comms in 2020, and describes his work as delivering in a ‘channel neutral, sector agnostic’ way, focusing on the audience(s) much like me! So we chat about a LOT of things including starting a business in a pandemic, measurement and evaluation and, of course, he provides us with a simple approach to getting started with SEO.

Ep 143. Developing a Creative Mindset: Strategies for Boosting Innovation and Originality
Today, I want to talk about the process of creative thinking. Long ago I read a book by PR Practitioner Andy Green called Creativity in PR. He highlights the importance of creativity in virtually every project.
Today I share some resources for creative thinking with you.
You see, creative thinking is essential for innovation, whether it be writing, designing, or strategising. Often, people break creative thinking down into five stages of creativity. So let's explore what the creative process entails and how each stage builds upon the previous one.
It'll certainly come in handy the next time you embark on your creative journey! Simply click on the tags for a full description of each stage.
