The joke is on me. In case you missed ‘Have I got news for you’ last night, the fruitful topic of nominative determinism made me a target too good to miss! #hignfy #nominativedeterminism @The_RHS

At @Cannes_Lions Advertising Festival. With @Reddit celebrating 20 years, I asked Steve Huffman Reddit’s CEO & founder how Reddit’s business model has evolved, especially in terms of scaling advertising without compromising the user experience. Thanks Steve, great conversation

This will be fun and hopefully helpful too. Some interesting insights to share! I would love to see you at this event. Tickets are selling fast but if they say the event has sold out, say I sent you… as I am sure I can squeeze you in. ;-) 27th Feb. #marketing #portfolio #plural

It was good having a CMO-CFO fireside chat with my friend & colleague @GraemePitkethly who was CFO of @Unilever when I was CMO. Not sure the headline captures the chat but they often don’t! @campaignlive conference. #CMO campaignlive.co.uk/article/e…

I hope you enjoy reading this & find a couple of new ideas to bounce off! Thank you @SusanBoster for sharing this.
The best thing about advice is, it’s free & you can ignore it! But at least it’s worth reflecting on first. Happy ignoring! #Boards linkedin.com/posts/susan-bos…

I received this message from friends as apparently it was trending on @popbitch. Yes it's true my father's surname was WEED & my mother's maiden name was HEDGES. So how could not their son become anything other than the President of the Royal Horticultural Society? @the_rhs #name
