Why are your personal posts getting likes, while your company page languishes?
It’s just another one of those mysterious LinkedIn things.
Rather than trying to crack the code, Vanessa Terrier advises bringing your people into your organisation’s LinkedIn strategy if you want it to work.
Text-based content is at all of our fingertips, even without big budgets or technical skills.
So it makes sense that 99% of respondents to our State of Policy Comms survey use it.
But is that really a content strategy, Filip Lugovic asks? Or just what’s possible?
Policy teams don't need to be put off by the perceived price tag of digital ads.
As Vanessa Terrier points out, even a small ad budget goes a long way when it is used well.
A targeted spend can help your message reach the right audience, and experimenting doesn't have to break the bank.
Many organisations are already using AI. Far fewer are doing so with a clear structure or system.
So what can we do about it?
The answer is education, says Gianmaria Sisti, who leads the Digital team at Edelman Brussels.
That means understanding how AI tools work, what they can do, and where human expertise still needs to lead.
The real value lies in knowing how to shift between the two, so AI enhances the outcome rather than simply taking over.
You can exist online and still be invisible.
Our State of Policy Comms 2026 survey showed that while respondents placed high importance on their website, a large percentage didn’t invest in SEO or AEO.
A website is not meant to be some obscure brochure. It only makes an impact if people can find it. And in the age of AI, it can be the answer people are searching for.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be seen and shape the conversation.

We asked association professionals at #EAS26 one simple question:
"If you had to ban one word from association jargon, what would it be?"
The answers did not disappoint.
Watch to find out which word the Brussels bubble wants gone for good.
We have more facts than ever, but less understanding of what they mean.
In Brussels, we skim, summarise, circulate at speed. And that’s exactly where Shane Parrish reminds us to slow down: look at the source, the incentives, and the evidence.
If you’re not filtering, you’re just forwarding.

It’s not all unicorns and disco balls for Anna Meusburger.
But nerves of steel and a dash of nu metal help deliver results.
As for her dream lunch guest… if only we could rewind to 2016.
We've spent 2,000 years believing that if you can't explain something explicitly, you don't really understand it.
Yet your best insights often come from somewhere you can't fully articulate.
What if that's not a bug, but how expertise actually works?

Lorenzo’s got big plans, fuelled by double espressos.
He lets us in on the best part of his job, and how he gets it done.
As for his dream lunch guest… want to take a guess?
Sharp insights served with a warm smile.
@Anna_Meusburger pairs strategic thinking with a finely tuned political sensibility. She shines under pressure and can pull together a knock-out campaign.
Above all, she’s the glue that holds our team together.
We may have mastered the art of critical thinking, but we’ve forgotten sympathetic listening.
Our knowledge is a powerful asset, yet it can also limit our perspective.
Everyone has a vantage point worth learning from.

No matter how well you plan everything from A to Z, you keep missing one element of the campaign or project that stands in the way of greatness.
But if you always miss it, there might be a bigger issue at play in how you approach your creative and strategic process.
Your message isn’t reaching its intended audience? Spend more time on monitoring and research.
Feel like your content is flat? Play around with different wording or design.
Not getting enough visits to your website? Check if it’s up to date with what you do.
Next time you compile results, take some time to review what went wrong instead of only where you went right. After all, we learn best from our mistakes, not from succeeding all the time.
