Be Like Prince, Build a Niche, and the Cost of Being Dull
Be Like Prince, Build a Niche, and the Cost of Being DullTen stories that have given us creative inspiration this weekHey all, I’ve been poorly most of this week and am writing this from my bed. It feels a bit thrown together based on what podcasts I’ve been listening to or what the YouTube algorithm has passively served me as I’ve been drifting in and out of sleep. Forgive my shoddiness. Normal service will resume next week. Speaking of next week, we’ll be out in Austin for SXSW presenting a workshop on how to develop content formats from Friday March 8th. We’re also going to be part of UK Advertising’s group of events taking place at UK House. If you’re going to be in Austin and want to meet up get in touch. One last thing: we’re looking for people to participate in a focus group about how they consume science-related content. If this is you, please fill in this form or tell friends who might be keen. Enjoy the stories and have a fab weekend on my behalf.
