Pleased to be working with BT to support communities with upcoming changes to their landline services. As part of our Digital Cheshire Digital Inclusion Support Programme, we’ve partnered with BT to host events where residents can share their concerns and ask questions about the switch to digital phone lines. It’s been invaluable hearing directly from people about what this change means for them and seeing first-hand the worries and concerns residents may have, which often are easily overcome through meaningful local engagements and useful information. More events are planned over the coming weeks and months, viewable on our Digital Cheshire website. www.digital-cheshire.co.uk For helpful information, visit: https://lnkd.in/eKhvnqNu #DigitalInclusion #ConnectedTogether

As fractional CMOs working inside SMEs across the UK, we see first-hand what is driving growth, what is holding businesses back and where leaders need more clarity. This year, we brought our collective insights together in a new report for SME owners. It is based on what we are experiencing daily in boardrooms, leadership meetings and commercial discussions: not theory, not trends, but real challenges inside real businesses. In the report, we share: • Why so many SMEs are held back by weak marketing foundations • Where AI is genuinely delivering value today • The impact that start stop marketing has on pipeline predictability • How leadership bandwidth and alignment influence commercial performance • The customer behaviour shifts that are here to stay Our goal is simple: to help business leaders understand what will matter most in 2026 and where to focus their attention for the strongest commercial impact. If you want a practical, grounded view of the year ahead, from our expert team who support businesses every day, then this report is for you.

Channel 4 has started experimenting with AI-generated adverts on its streaming platform. That’s not just a headline for broadcasters. It’s a turning point for how we think about creativity in marketing. AI isn’t replacing the idea. It’s making production faster, cheaper and more accessible. Imagine a world where even small brands can run high-quality campaigns on TV without the price tag that traditionally locks them out. The democratisation of advertising has begun. The smart move isn’t to resist it. It’s to get ahead of it. #AIAdvertising #MarketingInnovation #CreativeTech

We’re seeing some great mobile data opportunities in digital signage for retail across the channel. MSPs are working closely with suppliers on proven programmes to uncover, qualify, pitch and win larger opportunities — delivering secure, plug-and-play connectivity solutions. If you have retail customers, it’s well worth asking about their connectivity requirements and any challenges you could help solve. #Retail #MRG #MSP #Business

Really enjoyed listening to this conversation with my friend and technology leader Rob Hesmondhalgh . A refreshingly honest look at what it actually takes to be a CIO in a PE backed tech business. From navigating investor expectations to moving fast without breaking things, and why so many organisations are still underestimating the impact of AI. Well worth a listen.

Conversations like this are exactly why advocacy matters, hearing directly from partners about what drives their success gives us the insight (and inspiration) to keep building together. In our latest In Conversation With episode, Matt Barnett sat down with Liam Parnell from Wayv. Talk and Broadband for Business 🟢🔵🟣 to talk about their journey and transition from Pragma to Gamma Business partner. What stood out for me was how much of Wayv’s growth comes down to: ✅ Consistency for customers ✅ Backing your people ✅ Choosing partners you trust Plus, some great discussion around how solutions like iPECS are helping SMEs work smarter. If you're in the channel, it’s a great watch 👇https://lnkd.in/e8MtpcCg #GoodTogether

The benefits of adopting AI to elevate partner businesses was a prime focus at BT Wholesale’s Partner Live Event staged at BT’s hub in Salford, Manchester, but Microsoft’s Teams Phone Mobile was ‘the big sell’ and presents a new margin opportunity for the channel according to Managing Director Gavin Jones. “We all use Teams. We've all got it on our devices and we’re probably the first to bring Teams Phone Mobile to the channel which can take mobile collaboration and Teams to a new level,” he said. Explaining the solution in more detail, Proposition Manager Nick Hutton told partners: “Teams Phone Mobile enables you to change the nature of the discussion with your customer. and elevate your position. It is leveraging the power of BT’s network, with the power of Microsoft’s collaboration suite, and discuss productivity and collaboration across a customer's entire workforce, irrespective if they are office based or mobile centric,” he said. “A lot of small and medium businesses are early in their digital adoption journey, and they need help. And you can help them if you can provide mobile first solutions that are simple and scalable. There's opportunity there,” he added.

The more progressive employers are recognising that health and wellbeing isn’t an HR add-on – it’s a performance strategy. I’ll be interested in how much of the discussion focuses on outcomes and data, rather than activity and provision. That’s where real differentiation sits.
