The truth is we’re all feeling our way forward in digital. It’s a great new world where things are changing all the time. So how can you keep up?

Try stuff, then try stuff again.

If a new social or digital platform or app rises, download the app and try it. Not because you necessarily are going to use it all the time but because you need to know about it, experience it.

The app or social medium might not survive, but chances are the functionality will.

Don’t wait for a book or guide to tell you - it might be too late soon.
