As Global Accessibility Awareness Month draws to a close, we’ve been reflecting on what this journey has reinforced for us as marketers, designers and humans. Here’s what we’ve learned:
1. Small changes can have a big impact
2. Accessibility isn’t a box to tick, it’s a mindset
3. Asking better questions helps you serve more people
We’ve had incredible conversations, shared new tools, and helped businesses take meaningful first steps, including our Free Website Accessibility Check, available for just one more day.
Thanks for being part of the change. Let’s keep the momentum going.

These aren’t just technical details, they’re brand decisions.
Every accessible choice you make expands your reach.
Not sure where to start? Our 2025 Accessibility Guide is built for marketers, designers and content creators who want practical, no-fluff steps to make progress.
We used to think accessibility was someone else’s job. Now we know better.
Accessibility is about removing barriers, not just for a few, but for everyone. And in the lead-up to World Accessibility Day on 15 May, we’re sharing what we’ve learned, what we’ve built, and how we’re helping brands do better.
Marketing that works for more people performs better. Let’s make that the new standard.

We’ll see you on the other side to kick off an exciting 2025.

It’s the motto of carpenters and builders everywhere. Thing is, it should also be the motto for marketers too.
Planning matters. Checking matters. Editorial oversight matters. Quality control matters.
Yes, deadlines are scary and going over the same thing again and again might seem a waste of time. But rushing a content asset or campaign out the door without the right checks in place can be much scarier.
😳 Ever had an embarrassing typo go live?
😫 Ever had a campaign hit trouble on launch day because a key spec was missed?
😬 Ever spotted a glaring mistake in a piece of creative after it’s been released for the whole world to see?
Effective marketing is about precision. A well-planned production timeline not only saves stress, it also avoids mistakes through careful planning and constant attention to detail. Ultimately, you’re far more likely to get it right the first time.
Adding the necessary quality control steps into your marketing timeline might mean things take a little longer, but – like a well-crafted carpentry project – the end results will be much better for them.

Did you ask Santa (or your senior execs) for a shiny new content strategy for 2025? If so, you may discover the immortal words on the box: assembly required.
In our final blog post for 2024, content strategy lead Jonathan Crossfield reminisces about unfinished childhood projects – and why we need to be prepared to stay the distance with our 2025 content marketing plans.
It’s tempting to assume the best case scenario when planning your production timelines.
And then reality hits: A key resource isn’t available on the right day; a technical issue needs resolving; inspiration takes a little longer to nail that fresh idea.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. We all do it.
In his book Thinking Fast and Slow, psychologist Daniel Kahneman puts this common planning fallacy down to two common factors:
⏰ We usually ignore how long similar tasks have taken in the past.
💣 We optimistically assume there will be no complications or delays.
A good marketing production timeline has leeway built into it – particularly as marketers often juggle multiple projects at once. Rather than inflating the number of hours each task might take, this might simply mean starting that timeline earlier so if dates and milestones do need to shift it’s still possible to hit the final deadline.
If the best case scenario comes to pass, then huzzah and pass the champagne. If not, you still have time to make good.

Back in 2017, the entrepreneurial spirit settled upon Sim. She quit her job and founded a digital marketing agency, aptly named Pounce. Her initial mission was to make B2B IT marketing sexy, and to create a lively, supple agency capable of getting things done - quickly.
It turns out, there was considerable demand for such responsive marketing services, and the ensuing year was a whirlwind of activity and growth.
Sim quickly realised that the Pounce team’s talents deserved to be shared beyond the IT industry, and opened the doors to clients in a variety of industries. Amidst this rapid growth, Sim’s partner – in crime and in business, Rakz, stepped in to help Pounce streamline and scale its processes.
An agency heavyweight in his own right, Rakz brought not only his personal expertise but his own brand, Signacion, along with him. Signacion brought deep tech and experience in digital transformation to Pounce’s strategic and creative strength.
Today, there are 13 full-time Pouncers.
