To finish off 2015 here is some great advice from Jeremy Galbraith (CEO Burson-Marsteller) when it comes to content for 2016:
1. Be Pertinent
2. Be Authentic
3. Be Useful
4. Be Visual
5. Plus love, laugh, dream and dance (I liked the picture - see pic below and number 4 above)!

The digital revolution has increased the number of ways in which companies can showcase their creativity as well as presenting brands with greater opportunities to engage with consumers through co-creation. A global study this year by The Holmes Report shows that creativity in PR remains absolutely business-critical.
