These are changes that we spoke about, wrote about, and reflected on for decades; however, the spread of the virus accelerated its implementation. Since we have exhausted the 19th and 20th century-old labor paradigms and seeing that we are entering a post-industrial stage, we find ourselves in new times. We...

After enduring fifteen months of a pandemic, one thing is certain in the communication and marketing industry: nothing will go back to the way things were before, at least not entirely. Many will attempt to return to the same state we were in before March 2020; however, too many changes have taken place for everything to go back to the way it was before.

On July 14, the European Commission launched Fit-for-55, a legislative package that includes new measures on corporate...

It appears that the return to normalcy is bringing about different points of view, especially after having adapted to a previously unfamiliar work model over the last months brought forth due to the pandemic. “I don’t really understand going to the office just to do video calls… “Yes, there may be a lot of communication channels, but you are always left feeling overwhelmed by them!..”, “I´m not able to focus on anything. At the end of the day, it feels...
