Our client, a listed IT company, has retained us for ongoing Company Secretarial/governance advice and called us for advice when they discovered that one of their independent Non-Executive Directors, and Chair of the Audit Committee, had an external directorship in an overseas company on the brink of insolvency. The Chair and CFO were keen to understand the legal and regulatory requirements for the company and obtain advice on when the corporate brokers and lawyers should be contacted for input.

Soon after the chair’s first email, we were advising them on next steps. The complexities of this intricate scenario were only known on the call, and we provided advice live on the call. Our advice included a few variations to give context and perspective.

The Chair commended us on our fast response rate and the quality of advice. The CFO appreciated our commercial approach to avoid legal and broker expenses too early.

Hello there! As a marketing manager in the SaaS industry, you might be looking for innovative ways to engage your audience. I bet generative AI has crossed your mind as an option for creating content. Well, let me share from my firsthand experience.

Google encourages high-quality blogs regardless of whether they’re written by humans or created using artificial intelligence like ChatGPT. Here’s what matters: producing original material with expertise and trustworthiness based on Google E-E-A-T principles.

This means focusing more on people-first writing rather than primarily employing AI tools to manipulate search rankings. There comes a time when many experienced professionals want to communicate their insights but get stuck due to limited writing skills – that’s where Generative AI can step in.

So, together, we’re going explore how this technology could help us deliver valuable content without sounding robotic or defaulting into mere regurgitations of existing materials (spoiler alert – common pitfalls!). Hang tight – it’ll be a fun learning journey!
