News, Stories,

It’s been a nightmare keeping a lid on the news that Twist and Shout has been acquired by KnowBe4, provider of the world’s largest security awareness training (SAT) and simulated phishing platform. If you’re wondering what this means for our future relationship, fear not. Current customers will still be able to use their ‘Tuesdays with Bernie’ campaigns until […]

We absolutely and utterly believe in the power of comedy. It’s our stock-in trade, our ‘raison d’etre’ – We are the awareness sitcom dudes. On a gut level we just know ‘funny’ works. Understandably though we also appreciate it can be a tough sell for some companies and organisations. ‘Working adults’ in the US apparently, […]

We always knew we were on to a winner with ‘Tuesdays With Bernie’, and now it’s official, courtesy of the recent IOIC (Institute of Internal Communications) 2018 Awards. As the proud creators of ‘Compliance and Ethics awareness campaigns employees don’t hate’ (a customer’s words), the ‘Game changer’ award seems somehow appropriate. Here’s a film we […]

In 1984 three million people settled down in front of their TVs to watch the last episode of ‘The Young Ones’; that glorious, violent, irreverent, startling surreal and above all funny, entirely new take on the sitcom.

And what better time to visit our intentions before life gets the better of us. Obviously the important thing is getting a handle on those perennial bugbears, cancelling the un-used gym membership, actually […]

It would be fair to say that the last couple of months have been nothing less than epic.  There are new Seasons of ‘Tuesdays with Bernie’ in the can plus all new stuff on Privacy and Healthcare polished and ready to go. We are also beyond excited to welcome our new ‘Bernie’ guy – Adam Unwin. And […]

The view from everyone’s favourite ‘insider’, Bernie Foxton. Everywhere you look at the moment, the old certainties seem to be shifting, re-focussing. The recent revelations of the Paradise Papers, for example, leaked documents about offshore activities of the super rich. What does it all mean? Will anything change when the dust settles? We wanted to […]

We confess: We love reading reports. Big, bulky reports with charts and graphs and numbers and data. We absolutely love it. There are, unfortunately, a couple of downsides to this.
