Thanks Askable for hosting myself and Oren Kravetz for a discussion about scaling research on Tuesday. If you didn't catch it, you can watch the recording, but as a little summary our advice is: - have a flexible toolkit of research options so you can adapt to time and budget constraints - clear, shared research objectives will keep you on track, even if you have a big or wide spread global research team - remote interviews are amazing for diversifying the customer base you speak to, but also don't forget about 'in situ' research where you go out there and meet customers in the wild! For us that's been in stores and at motorway service stations! - diversity of skillsets in your research team will allow you to spot the widest variety of insights, so not just UX peeps, but strategy, UI, client services etc - experiment with and embrace new research tools powered by AI, its exciting but we need to find the right balance between human and 'robot' run research Take a watch here if you'd like to hear more... https://lnkd.in/eQj4P6CT #uxresearch #ux #research

We are highlighting World Mental Health Awareness Day in Bernadette by taking moments for ourselves throughout the week. The Bernadette team have been sharing who and what they feel gratitude for, listening to 432-hertz frequency music for our calmness hour each day, getting away from our desks for lunch and introducing a wellness group for all tips and tricks that work for each of us. Breaking down the barriers, being able to openly talk, and be there for one another 💚 #worldmentalhealthday #support

🚀 We're proud to be an ongoing supporter and partner of Czechitas - an incredible NGO dedicated to empowering women in technology!  🌟 Since 2020, we've had the privilege of mentoring talented women through the Digital Academy Web, guiding their final projects, and offering mock interviews to boost their confidence as they step into the tech world. 💪 We’re thrilled to see our involvement come full circle, where the next generation of women in tech achieve their goals in both professional and personal life.  🏆 A special shoutout to Nikola Kabátová, who not only thrives in tech but also achieved an amazing 2nd place finish on Survivor Czech and Slovak this year!

Really exciting to see the brand re-launch of Funky Pigeon taking flight. We collaborated with VCCP and Passion Pictures, to create a character rich brand platform featuring Funky and the Funkettes. We want you to ‘Give a Funk’, and what better way than to create surprising and delight across social media, with thumb stopping, frame breaking content stories.

Many congratulations to our friends in faith for this amazing win 🎉 We are so proud to have played a part in this with the creation of the Bubl digital twin and the front-end interface. 💚 🚀

It was an absolute pleasure to accompany my good pal and colleague Chris Hobbs in attending the BIMA (British Interactive Media Association) roundtable hosted by our good friends and partners Acquia / Monsido, powered by Acquia yesterday to discuss all things accessibility as we come to crunch time with the legislation changing in June 2025. With great talks from Kirsty Sharp and Lars Holm Sørensen, and with the ever delightful Garry Levitt also in attendance, it was great to get real insight in to the problems people face today when trying to access websites and digital platforms. We as an industry of practitioners have an obligation to do more and to ensure that our clients, suppliers and partners are aware of the challenges so many people face when accessing the world of digital products. Over at Bernadette we have accessibility baked in to the core of our practice, and we're working with a number of our clients to ensure that on the 28th June 2025 they'll be ready for the change in legislation. (It was also great to see so many familiar faces - Jack Clough, Alex Ringhofer, Matt Sullivan and Zhenya Thornhill in particular 🙌🏻)
