Great to see today's excellent piece in The Times by Jane Hamilton about neurodiversity in the workplace, including comment from our brilliant client Kate Griggs founder of Made By Dyslexia – underlining the fact that neurodivergent staff have many of the skills needed to thrive in the modern workplace. Kate says: "Dyslexic thinkers are not just equipped for the future of work, they are essential to it. AI is reshaping the workforce and demanding a different kind of intelligence – one that is driven by creativity, problem-solving and human skills. These are precisely the skills that dyslexic thinkers have in abundance". The piece also highlights the experiences of Alex Partridge – founder of cult digital publisher LADbible Group and UNILAD who credits his ADHD for his intense creativity – and provides brilliant tips for nurturing neurodivergent teams. Kate Griggs has done extensive work with Richard Branson, most recently launching the University of Dyslexic Thinking, and with Jamie Oliver –  heading to the Houses of Parliament with him last week to demand change for Dyslexic learners. Thank you so much Jane Hamilton! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/efGx3MaF

We’ve been working with England Rugby stars the Red Roses for more than a year, and today we are absolutely thrilled to unveil our latest work: a striking new mural, as Twickenham’s iconic rugby pub 'The Cabbage Patch’ reopens as ‘The Red Roses Patch’ and the home of the Red Roses for the 2025 Women’s Six Nations. The mural designed by British Street Artists MurWalls features England captain Zoe Aldcroft alongside vice-captains Marlie Packer and Meg Jones, honouring their leadership, resilience, and impact on the sport. The trio are set to lead England through the Guinness Women’s Six Nations tournament, with their sights firmly set on retaining their title ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup on home soil later this year. This newly rebranded fan hub will be the ultimate destination for supporters – with an electric match day atmosphere, exclusive events, and the closest fan experience to being inside the stadium itself. Inside, fans can explore an array of Red Roses memorabilia, celebrating the team’s rich history - from rugby legend Gill Burns’ boots, to Katy Daley Mclean’s shirt – making it a true home for cheering on women’s rugby throughout the Six Nations. The Women’s Six Nations is set to be an unmissable opportunity to experience world-class rugby on home soil, whether in the stadium, or at The Red Roses Patch – we can't wait to cheer on England as they gear up for success! 🏉🏆

We've just wrapped up an unforgettable 3-day retreat at Wilderness Reserve with The Very Group, bringing together seven incredible mummy influencers for a well-deserved escape centered around indulgence, self-care, and timeless elegance. ✨💆♀️   From discovering curated treats in the Marc Jacobs gifting suite to unwinding with Elizabeth Arden spa experiences, every moment was about reclaiming some time for themselves.

From managing logistics from the get-go to providing on-the-ground support, we were there every step of the way to bring this vision to life. ✨

What’s more adoptable, a cuddly canine or a great big rugby giant? 🏉🐾 We’ve been on a myth-busting mission with the Greyhound Board of Great Britain, and today the W team has launched its brilliant campaign film ‘Adopt a Sporting Legend’ with rugby icon Joe Marler – designed to get more retired racing greyhounds rehomed. In the spoof documentary, resident joker Marler goes head to head with an ex-racing greyhound, showcasing the pleasures that can come with adopting one of these dogs… and the displeasures of homing Mr Marler! The idea for the film came from the paw-dropping statistic that over a third of UK adults who would consider getting a dog, hadn’t considered an ex-racing greyhound, with the same amount completely unaware they were available for adoption. Greyhounds are retired, yet young. Fast, yet slow. Sleek, yet cuddly. Adopt a Sporting Legend sets out to correct the myths, showing Brits why they’re really barking up the wrong tree after research shows that 41% of people think greyhounds need loads of exercise, when in reality two 20-minute walks a day is more than enough. Affectionately known as the 45mph couch potato, their racing days are behind them and these days they’d sooner be curled up on a comfy sofa. We LOVE this, and it’s been an absolutely joy to work on this with the incredible team at Greyhound Board of Great Britain, doing such good work rehoming these incredible sporting heroes.

Great to see Chloe Hubbard’s excellent recent review of iconic hotel venue The Cumberland Hotel London in The Independent. A favourite destination for musicians visiting the capital, with guests including Katy Perry, Madonna and Lady Gaga, the review brilliantly describes the hotel as a "rambunctious neon musical-themed gem, hidden behind an unassuming facade next to London’s Marble Arch", also referencing its rich history of being the go-to place for rock ‘n’ roll royalty. Highlighting its fantastic proximity to central London and incredibly quiet rooms (despite being right on top of Marble Arch) the review also notes its pet and family friendliness, alongside the show-stopping fully-functional electric guitar in her room, as well as a mirror marking the heights of all the music stars who have stayed at the hotel! Thank you Chloe Hubbard! Read the full review here: https://lnkd.in/eCb4P76x
