Hi folks! I’m running this online workshop on 18 August to help businesses stop wasting money on Facebook Ads that don’t work and make the whole idea of running social ads feel less scary 💛 DM me for a 50% discount code if you can’t afford the full price, no questions asked 🌟
We hate seeing small businesses wasting money on boosted Facebook posts which don’t do anything for them 😩 That's why we're running this social ads workshop! Plus, if your business has been impacted by COVID or you're a non-profit, DM us for 50% off💛 eventbrite.co.uk/e/how-to-st…

This today... and applies to many countries other than the UK.
“SO YOU DON’T LIKE RACISM, BUT YOU’RE IN THE UK AND FEEL POWERLESS TO DO ANYTHING?” I have had several conversations with friends who have recently felt powerless as to what they can/should be doing in response to some of the atrocities in the US. Here are some ideas. 1/?
When you write to make sure every sentence doesn't start with 'we' and the copy isn't full of meaningless adjectives and it comes back with every sentence changed to start with 'we' and looking like someone attacked it with an unrivalled adjective spray gun. *sigh* #copywriting

I’m afraid this is simply not true, @MattHancock. In real terms, it equates to an annual percentage increase of 3.4%. Ie: *lower* than the average % increase of 4% since NHS founded in 1948. And *substantially* lower then the 6% increases under Brown & Blair. Facts matter.
Today our commitment to funding the NHS passed into law - An extra £33.9 billion a year by 2024. The largest and longest cash boost in NHS history

Just had the privilege of visiting #Ethiopia with @tadeletravel . If you're thinking of going there, don't look any further. Their guides are exceptional and I can't imagine any travel company matching their care and respect for this unique country.

Does anyone know any Hove-based illustrators who do, or would be open to doing murals? Also open to Brighton-based people, but Hove is preferable. Send me links please!
