3/3 Thank you to the countless designers who have shared their work, their thoughts and business insight over the years. Your intelligent and creative perspective has been at the heart of Design Week's coverage throughout its history.

[Tom Banks @1TomBanks]

1/3 Terribly dissapointed to be sharing this news, which I'm deeply saddened by. I'm currently on parental leave so am unable to engage with readers but will return briefly in the new year to provide some reflective and celebratory content...

2/3 I'm so very proud of what my current and former colleagues have achieved and honoured to have worked at the epicentre of an industry which continues to make an invaluable social, cultural and economic contribution to the world...

Had a great time catching up with Ben Tallon on Valentine’s Day. What our discussion lacks in romance it makes up for in tips and tricks to raise your profile in the press.

Have you thought about how to get the best out of an interview before? Asking a journalist the kind of questions they plan to ask you ahead of an interview is a good way to prepare.

[Tom Banks @1TomBanks]

Everything on the Designers and Creatives: How to Talk to the Press course is designed to empower you and give you the confidence to work on your own press strategy in a way that allows you to try to raise your profile without investing loads of time.

[Tom Banks @1TomBanks]
