Today is Sam's Day 💜 26th March is Epilepsy Awareness Day - and for us, it will always be a day to remember one of our most loved colleagues and friends, Sam Thomas. Sam was part of our group of businesses for nearly four years and was an incredible person and a phenomenal recruiter - someone that clients and candidates alike genuinely loved working with. He left a mark on everyone he met, and left us way too soon. Epilepsy affects 1 in 100 people in the UK. It's a condition that deserves more awareness, more understanding, and more conversation. Sam cared deeply about helping people experiencing homelessness, and today we're keeping his legacy alive by supporting the charity he fundraised for - just £5 provides a hot meal and a toiletry bag for someone who needs it most. If you'd like to make a small donation in his memory, the link is in the comments.    Here's to you Sam, we miss you! 💜

When change feels relentless, where do leaders and people managers turn? Yesterday, we brought together a group of senior voices from across the #CreativeIndustries for a breakfast roundtable at the Ivy Club - sharing preliminary findings from our #2026Census ahead of its full release in a few weeks time. With 393,690+ data points drawn from 4,024 employees and job seekers and 266 brands and agencies, this year's report is our most comprehensive yet. Across every theme - from talent and skills to AI and motivation - the same tension kept surfacing: knowing where to focus to have the greatest impact. That's what this data is for - to cut through the noise and give leaders something solid to act on. Our 2026 Census lands on Thursday 16th April - click here to register your interest in downloading it 👇 https://lnkd.in/eBF-W9he

The session will translate data into practical guidance for freelancers to advocate for themselves with greater confidence. Join ruvo.co to RSVP! (It's free to join 😉)

Marketing Week's recent article looks at the pressure building at #midlevel, and spoke to recruiters to understand what it means for hiring in 2026. Our own Jodie Clayton shared her perspective from the front line of #marketing and #digital recruitment. While she notes that the market feels more stable than it has in recent years, it’s still not predictable. Yet there are clear pockets of growth in the industry - especially for mid-level roles. The scope for these roles is broader; they carry greater accountability and commercial responsibility. Add to that, since increasingly good content is directly linked to performance, more brands and agencies are looking to expand their content and production capabilities. Creative thinking and strategy are now central to execution responsibilities. As demand continues to build in areas like #social and #performance, it’s evident that the market’s appetite for growth is sharpening. Read the full story here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dWRzArcn
