Let’s talk about how hard it is to post to your accounts when you’ve left it so goddam long 😑

Perfectionism, procrastination, self doubt, deadlines…. All of the above and more make keeping things going while also running a successful business HARD. And don’t get me started on embargoed work and restrictive covenants in contracts 😤

It happens to our clients and it happens to us too. It’s ain’t easy spinning plates, but I don’t know what else I would do with myself if I stopped.

Looking forward to rebuilding on socials and chatting to more of you again. Take it squeezy 💋💜

PROUD TO BE ME 🏳️‍⚧️✊ Our model Sam was the proudest of all our models - braving the elements to do a beach shoot and celebrate his beautiful transformation.

In a longer post on -Sam talk and about the importance of this shoot and his journey. From wanting to cut his hair short, and feeling confused and ashamed as a child, to realisation, acceptance and living as his happy authentic self today. We were moved to tears to hear what he went through and couldn’t be prouder to have helped him celebrate his freedom in a shoot last year for

Happy LGBTQIA+ Christmas to everyone out celebrating this weekend, including our allies who are vital in the fight to be heard.

And let’s in particular remember our trans brothers and sisters who still face extreme persecution and misinformation, and who led the charge at the original stonewall riots and gave us the rainbow flag. ✊🏳️‍🌈✊🏳️‍⚧️✊ we would be nothing with out you. We love you. You are beautiful. Your time will come.

That is all 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🤍❤️🧡💚💙💜

The last 48 hours / 2 weeks have been incredible. I’ve had the pleasure of MCing on day two of for thenetworkone and delivering my talk on ‘embracing awkwardness’ and ‘creating impact with positivity’, which had plenty of chuckles and requotes later, and the most awkward bit thankfully went down a storm.

The last two days were packed with amazing opportunities to learn ahead of the curve on topics such as what AI can (and can’t do) in creativity and for business, How to win a Nobel Prize, How to better motivate your teams for success, growth with purpose, new markets in the Middle East and entrepreneurship for peace.

Thank you so much to Julian Boulding from thenetworkone for giving me this opportunity. Preparations involved speaking to some of the most incredible intellects, creatives and world-class speakers. I absolutely loved it and I truly smashed my limits and can’t wait for the next challenge.

I’d especially like to mention the other speakers, who gave up a generous amount of their time to meet beforehand and share their incredible stories and insights.

My top take aways:

“It is both useful and healthy to have disrespect for other people’s ideas to shift things forward” + “Creativity comes from combining” - Tobias Degsell - How to Win a Nobel Prize.

“Behave famously; think and act big” + “follow your envy” and then learn how to better it - Heather Kernahan - Hotwire, Unstuck.

“You should be more expensive than anyone else if you want to do great work.” - Craig Rodney

“AI can do just about anything. But it doesn’t know what’s good, that’s where Creatives are needed.” + massive props for the AI Rock song created in a few minutes about The Indie Summit Morad - Bright Mind Agency

Thank you also to Josh from for bringing a Predictionary all the way from NY!

To all those I couldn’t quote directly, I’ll save for another day. But just to say you were all INCREDIBLE. Look forward to meeting again.

All the best,killip

Also some absolute gems from , and on the panel, none of which I could take down as I was too busy asking all the questions!

But what stayed with me was “Moving at the speed of culture” from Josh, Founder & CEO of Day One Agency, that Serviceplan Group’s Houses of Communication are possibly the happiest workplaces in Europe from Marcus, their COO Intl. and some really great points on the need to come together and work under the same roof for the sake of creative cohesion and development of young talent from Hutchison CSO at VCCP.

Thank you also to Josh for bringing a Predictionary to me all the way from NY!

I've been withholding as I had a deluge of good news this March, but a text message from an old friend saying, "This was only slightly weird..." with the magazine rack attached has given me the nudge 😂

Back in January, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Jodie Yettram, a bold, energetic, and fierce journalist for Bailiwick Express, who shared my love of challenging norms through her work.

We chatted about deliberately selecting fonts to catch out homophobes, the plight of refugees and how I got into all of this meddling 23 years ago, almost by accident.

Unbelievably, they gave me seven pages and - truth be told - it's pretty entertaining. If you've got 5 minutes spare later, check it out here:

Also, huge thanks to Oleg Tolstoy who shot my photos at zero notice and was an absolute pro.

That's all for now folks. Katie x
