Clarity’s New Brand & Website

Sami McCabe, Founder & CEO
January 24, 2019

Today we launch our new brand and new website.

Developed 100% in-house, our visual identity has undergone a radical transformation.

Our original brand was functional but uninspiring. It was cold, boring and clinical. All adjectives you couldn’t possibly ascribe to Clarity today.

The same could be said for our old website, which failed miserably when it came to bringing-to-life the spirit and culture of our company.

In contrast, our new brand and website is vibrant, dynamic and bold, which are all characteristics I’m proud to say Clarity exhibits in spades, every single day.

Team Clarity’s predictions for 2019 – AI, Neo-Luddism, brand activists and more

Clarity Team
January 15, 2019

Creating predictions for the new year is, in some ways, a bit of a mug’s game. That’s because twelve months on and anyone can see instantly whether you were right or wrong.

A question for marketers – do you know where your ad is being served?

Clarity Team
November 5, 2018

Kathy Sampey from our New York team writes…

If you were browsing the news online and saw an ad served up next to a story about a brutal murder, a plane crash or sexually graphic content, chances are you would take notice. You might also wonder why a brand marketer would have one of their ads in such close proximity to something negative or unsavory.

You’re not alone. In fact, if you’re like a lot of consumers, you might have even concluded that the ad was placed next to such content intentionally to gather more eyeballs and drive awareness and possible purchase intent.…

Six directions we think ICO/STOs will go in 2019

Clarity Team
October 23, 2018

At Clarity we have had an intriguing year working with a number of clients who are either preparing for an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) or are looking to consolidate and increase brand awareness after a raise.

We have written about ICOs in the past – but now is a good time to take stock and look to see if we can spot any emerging trends that will shape ICOs in the new year. Has the ICO had its day? Will it evolve into something else?…

IGTV – a massive opportunity for brands

Clarity Team
July 9, 2018

So it seems that much of the world, and especially England, has been sidetracked by the World Cup (and let’s not forget Love Island), but while all eyes have been on Russia, Instagram unveiled an innovation that might just have a huge impact on content marketing – IGTV.

In case you were too engrossed in Saudi Arabia Vs Russia and missed the announcement – IGTV is a long-form, vertical video platform that is available in the Instagram app as well as a standalone IGTV app.…

The Clarity team’s favourite podcasts

Clarity Team
May 31, 2018

We might have widely differing musical tastes, never agree on which is the best sport and always argue about food. If there is one thing though that the Clarity team is united on it is our passion for podcasts.

We all agree that there really is no better way to get through those challenging commutes than with white buds popped in our ears and smart people informing us about our favourite subjects.

So here are a few of our favourite podcasts as chosen by the team.…

A couple of weeks ago we were lucky enough to attend a conference curated by the Midlands branch of the CIPR – the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, at Birmingham City University.

There were many great sessions, which among other things looked at the how the BBC serves the Midlands and how technology will change the way PRs interact with the media in the future.…
