It’s no secret that with the developments in social media and the dominance of influencer marketing, that building a personal brand has become more important than ever, brands are more and more starting to give the people the mic, in order to convey their messages.

So, we ask you, what’s your personal brand?

We’ve all had that crushing feeling that it’s time for a change, whether it’s that dreaded Monday morning feeling where you literally feel sick to the stomach about the thought of another week at work, or that monster boss who leads with an iron fist and has all the charisma of a doorstop!

Summer 2018 is still in full swing, and I imagine it’s not just us here at Vertex towers who wouldn’t mind fancy having a cheeky siesta now and then at the minute due to the heat exacerbating the traditional post lunch slump.

Sometimes advice just really hits you.

So, there’s a lot of things we can accept that’s bad in the office, bad hygiene, stinky foods in the microwave just to name a couple, but a recent study by Mcvities has shown that dunking a digestive in a cup of tea, is also a no-no within the office.

Mental Health issues have become a hot topic in recent times, as many as 1 in 4 of us will suffer from a problem this year.

We all suffer from time to time with a little stress. Whether it’s the fact the kids are about to leave school and be with you all day every day for what feels like the longest summer of your life, or perhaps your boss has just dumped another important project on your desk 2 weeks before your due to go on that holiday you’ve been looking forward to for the last 6 months.

Career advice normally comes in the same way, work hard, do what you enjoy and occasionally kiss the bosses rear end! But upon reading some blogs across the good old internet, sometimes you come across some rather out of the box thinking, here’s some of the best bits of advice we’ve found and just for you.

It’s so easy to look at the likes of Johnny Depp or Beyoncé, and say I want that, fame, money, and incredible sex appeal…. I’m going to become an Actor (or Actress) when I grow up! Then life slaps you in the face and you realise to become the next Johnny Depp you need to spend the next 10 years doing extremely low paid work to the point of poverty and eat noodles to the point of starvation, to only then get very small and somewhat degrading parts, while your parents say I told you so and your younger sibling who eternally looks down upon you smugly, gets all the glory for having 3 kids and their own house…. (and breathe).

Just a quick post from the Vertex team, tonight is the biggest England game in many fan’s living memory, get your waistcoats ready!!!

It’s coming home  started as a joke, but we are now so close to it becoming true.

Gareth Southgate has been a revelation, and the 2016 European fiasco (no not Brexit!) feels like a life time ago.
