What we can expect from the UK EV industry in 2023
2022 was a year like no other for the EV industry. In the first half of the year global sales grew by 62%, setting into motion the massive sea change that McKinsey had forecast the year before.

The importance of learning new things as you age
Learning is the process that goes through the entire life. It doesn't stop when we finish school, graduate from college, and pass the training or course. The modern generation created a special term for this process that is named lifelong learning, and the title speaks for itself.

Why partial e-procurement isn’t right for mid-market businesses
Procurement is an elementary function for all sizes of businesses. Every organisation, whether small or large, needs office supplies or collaboration with vendors to perform its operations. To streamline all these activities, digitisation plays an important role. While large organisations mainly opt for complete automation, mid-market businesses are more prone to adopt digitisation in bits and pieces.

Fintechs for good are clearly the best
Few people would disagree that 2022 has been a difficult year.

Why personification is the only path to growth for brand marketers
The current macroeconomic and geopolitical situation has led many brand marketers to take stock of their plans going forward. While talks of budgets and P&L manoeuvring will dominate the conversation, it is just as important for brands, if not more, to dedicate some time to refining their digital advertising strategy for 2023 and beyond. This has never been more relevant at a time when the industry shifts from the era of personalised advertising to one of personified advertising.

Part-time and freelance vs. full-time work: who is going to win?

At the same time, remote work or freelance cannot replace full-time work on-site completely. Let’s delve into the topic and understand why.
