The reason – you can now ditch the traditional way of presenting paper-based ideas and FL!P through to a wholly innovative digital solution.

It’s often an exasperating and challenging experience. In marketing and advertising, the creative process isn’t merely putting down a couple of images and some words – it takes a lot of effort, thought and research i

It was where strategic decisions were made and highly intense meetings held. Today , most companies have moved away from this imposing structure to smaller, more collaborative areas which encourage good interaction and the free-flow of ideas. But, communication needs great tools and there’s a need now for screens that assist in getting ideas up, presented and discussed easily.   Technology is marching along at a pace that’s sometimes hard to keep up with. Does anyone even remember what it was like to use an overhead projector – fiddling with the transparency sheets to get them straight onto the screen? With wi-fi, blue-tooth and HDMI cables as an option, now anyon

                              The Note9 works like magic. The S Pen is its powerful wand. The   S Pen   isn’t for everyone. Or is it? The Samsung Note9 has changed the game.

The Bluetooth-enabled feature has taken it far beyond a note-taking or doodle-making extra. It’s a remote control for a device that’s more powerful.   There's a multitude of situations in which a remote control for your phone makes sense. You can trigger your camera, skip songs on your playlist or change your presentation slides.” That selfie on a majestic rockface, which requires a group jump into the air, just got more i
