Welcome to TLC UK

Last week, TLC Marketing fought the elements to attend Professional Beauty London at the ExCel. 

Professional Beauty is the UK’s biggest annual beauty and spa trade show, welcoming 800 brands and industry professionals to showcase their newest products and share the latest insight. Now in its 30th year, it welcomes some of the biggest names in beauty from the likes of Dermalogica and Elemis.

International Women’s Day celebrates the amazing women who have made a real impact on the world we live in today.

To honour this occasion, McDonald's have flipped their famous golden arches upside down to represent a ‘W’ for women and to show the sky has no limits when it comes to gender, British Airways are operating all female crew flights. 

Our Strategy Manager Sophie, has recently taken part in the DMA's Future Writers Lab course lead by Debi Buster, CEO at Department of Change. As part of the course she was given a brief 'to rebrand mental illness as a normal part of living, talking and growing, for each of us and all of us.' We loved her response so much that we wanted to share it! A powerful example of storytelling to change the world.

The idea

"When we got the brief, I automatically thought of myself. I have always suffered with anxiety and worry. I started by thinking how it makes me feel and how the anxiousness manifests itself as a separate voice.

It's that time of year again. The Recommended Agency Register (RAR) Awards shortlist has been announced, with TLC Marketing up for not one but four awards.

An awarding body judged quite like no other, winners of the RAR Awards are picked solely on client reviews and recommendations, which makes winning that extra bit special. For the past two years, TLC Marketing have been crowned ‘Promotional Agency of the Year' and this year, the agency are hoping to make it a hat-trick.

There is one big industry event that every marketer eagerly anticipates every year.

Marketing Week Live features two jam-packed days of exhibitors, innovation and expert talks. Taking place at Olympia London, Marketing Week’s Mark Ritson and former Saatchi & Saatchi CMO, Micky Denehy, were just some of the biggest guest speakers to make an appearance. 

Hello again, thanks for coming back to join us, you could almost say we’re mates now.

For those of you who are new to ONES TO WATCH here’s a bit about what you can expect. Each month we keep our eyes peeled for the latest immersive experience, fitness craze, food obsession or newest gadget - some very useful, some utterly bizarre! Our job is to sift through magazines, social media, online content, brand communications, Pinterest boards, event agendas (the list is endless and I’ve run out of breath but you get the idea) so you don’t have to. All you have to do is come back monthly for your bite size chunk of the trendiest trends.
