This week, a World Mental Health Day video created by Norwich City Football Club stole the show & you can see why after watching it.

Another tear-jerker for you...Channel 4 News don't show ads, but they made an exception for this incredibly moving one.

Thought For The Day: There are some insane Adobe updates rolling out that I discovered whilst at Adobe MAX in LA this week (more on this below)…

In other news...

- I'm pretty shattered after quite a lot of travelling over the last few weeks. I really miss my kids & fiance! One little productivity hack I've learnt is to bring your laptop & work on the plane. I cranked out like 9 hours of undisturbed work on the way to LA & 4 hours on the way back!

- After a lot of networking over the last few weeks at various events, it's really reinforced the importance of meeting people & building relationships face-to-face! How often do you get out the office & do this?

- It was so bloody cool to see this post about our team! When clients go the extra mile to publicly share this stuff it means the world to us!

- If you want to see some behind the scenes from my trip to Adobe MAX in LA, check out this video & this post.

- I’m SO excited to confirm our second project supporting the amazing Zembr team. ??

- Also BUZZING to work with Cameo Apples for the 5th year in a row after achieving these incredible results this year! ??

- This MEME really tickled me this week. This literally used to happen at a previous job I was at haha.

Thought for the day

There are some in-sane Adobe updates rolling out that I discovered whilst at Adobe MAX in LA this week.

Here are some of my key takeaways that I frantically noted down on my phone whilst there;

??? 3 billion images have been created with Adobe Firefly since launch in March this year (1 billion of those were in the last month!)

?? Generative fill is one of the most used Adobe features EVER after just 5 months.

?? There’s a significant focus on AI & Adobe Firefly that wasn’t even on the roadmap at last year’s event.

?? The Adobe Express text-to-template design feature is seriously mind-blowing!

?? Text-based video editing in Premier Pro is also mind-blowing!

?? Automatic filler word removal in Premier Pro is another wild new feature.

??? The generative fill developments in Photoshop are nuts!

?? Adobe released over 100 new features & performance improvements in Creative Cloud yesterday!

Here are the exciting things on the horizon that stood out to me…

?? Text to video is coming

?? Image to video is coming

?? Training your own AI model is coming

If you have any questions let me know!

Happy Friday!! ??
