Post Super Update - 12th January 24

And we still haven't got the newsletter out!! Gemma kept adding to it and kept adding to it... so we are afraid this week is a bit of a mish mash again... Cheers to a fresh (but slightly slow) start and a new year of exciting projects eh! Unfortunately it is a bit UK centric this week but there will be more to come in the next few weeks for US & Rest of World folks, there is one event to note below from the HPA, in LA.
Jan 12
Come to our event in the North of England - Leeds!!!
 
This is home turf for some of us on the Post Super team. We are starting our year off with something exciting - co-hosting an event with some exclusive training at Sticks & Glass in Leeds on Thursday 25th January 2024 from 6.00pm. Email Sarah@post-super.com if you would like to be there!

Finally an article/video!
 
...That we wanted to direct you to from Broadcast... we thought it was really interesting thought leadership stuff... All about Post & the way that things are changing! "When it comes to technology, there are plenty of reasons for broadcast and post facilities to be optimistic. Recent developments in cloud workflows and AI capabilities (amongst others) mean we’ve never had so many tools at our disposal, and workflow requests that were out of reach as recently as a few years ago can now easily be achieved in a variety of different ways."
 
There is also a longer video presentation available of the article from Jigsaw24... Soooooo interesting!!
