We really do need to get to grips with the changing communication needs and expectations of the new generations in the workplace. In the war for talent, it’s time to look again at how the majority of construction organisations engage with young people.

Last year we decided to carry out some research among young professionals to find out how they prefer to access industry news. The results came in and didn’t exactly fill us with joy. In this post, Liz shares her thoughts and insights.

Last month we headed down to London’s South Bank, to film Head Above Water – an intriguing sculpture built as part of London Design Festival. Read on to find out more from Arthur, our video reporter.

This week, team LMC visited the London Design Festival and headed straight to one of the most talked about installations, MultiPly. Here’s what Hannah, our creative content consultant, made of it all.

Following the Grenfell fire tragedy, will any of the construction industry organisations come to the inquiry with transparency and be completely open about the catastrophic errors made? Could their crisis PR include the word ‘sorry’? Liz shares her thoughts.

Under new ownership and despite all sorts of schadenfreude, Ecobuild continued again in 2017 and 2018.  And this year, just like every Ecobuild we’ve attended, we found it full of gems.

Yes, it’s that time of year again. So we’ve dusted off the crystal ball and jotted down what we reckon everyone will be talking about next year.

Liz reflects on the problems that beset building industry initiatives where groups tasked with working together, yet steeped in their own terminology and interpretations, cannot seem to move forward. Is it the language that’s to blame?

A lot of effort goes into thought leadership PR that actually achieves not very much at all – certainly not the sort of change that we would all like to claim. Read why Liz thinks the influencers behind a lot of thought leadership PR turn out not to be very influential after all.
