My top 3 productivity hacks

1. Delegate and coach - get the right people for the appropriate priorities and ensure you give them enough guidance to limit hand-holding. 2. Using Notetaker AI to summarise my meetings and rethink my meetings through notes. 3. My assistant who helps to keep things on track in my day-to-day life.

A recent ad campaign I liked

I liked Britannia’s recent “Britannia, Shaped By Nature” ad campaign - it hit me right in the feels. The way it blends nostalgia with everyday moments reminds me why emotions drive brand love. The campaign was more than marketing—it’s storytelling that tugs at nostalgia and everyday moments. As a marketer, I admire its simplicity; as a consumer, it takes me back to my childhood. Great brands don’t just sell, they become a part of our lives.
