A Bot Can Do A Lot
BRND WGN has been on a long journey to find the right partner to bring chatbot technology to Malta. Today, we’re excited to announce a partnership with Clustaar.

What triathlon taught me about business
Primarily, setting goals and challenges is the first lesson. In life, in business and in sports, if you don’t set yourself a goal, you’re probably going to be wandering aimlessly - and it won’t be long before you realise you haven’t got anywhere worth going.

Making communication part of the Wagoneer culture
A motivated team can drive a business forward. While peer recognition boosts motivation at work, bad communication can kill it, with international stats showing that 77% of employees would work harder if they felt better recognised, while 39% feel under-appreciated at work. How could we make sure BRND WGN was a close, happy and productive team?

To change is to evolve
This month Martin Dimbleby, our Head of Brand Development, is celebrating his 10th anniversary on the WGN! He tells us what he’s learnt along the way and how purpose can guide brand transformation.

Should your design follow trends?
Whether you’re about to brand your startup, or seeking to refresh the look of your existing company, you’re going to be faced with an important design decision: Should you follow trends or opt for a more signature style? Our Head of Design Philip Sultana shares his views on the matter.

The agency is dead
Decisions, decisions, decisions. Every moment of our creatively executive lives is pretty much taken up by the taking, making, avoiding or executing of decisions, micro and macro, important, futile and sometimes game changing. Those decisions are sometimes our own decisions but at times someone else’s.

The relationship between the Executive and the Creative
One of the first things you’ll learn when working in a creative agency is that people see things differently. The client may have one particular direction in mind, while the strategists, designers and techies working on the project might want to push the boundaries and explore different ways of doing things. This is where the client executive comes in.

Beauty and the Design Beast
Beauty and the Beast, a movie that teaches children about the importance of kindness and inner beauty. Or not. In a fickle ending to the tale, the Beast transforms into a hot prince. Only then does he live happily ever after with Belle. Apparently looks do matter. Scrap the idea that this is a movie for children, it's really about good design and here's why.

Knock the Block off Writer’s Block
As the epic fictional boxer, Rocky states: ‘You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.’

Surviving digital transformation
We live in exciting times. Digital has changed the way we shop, communicate, educate, connect, and live. In a world where digital technology rules, hope is not a strategy. Change is happening with or without you and evolution is key.

Be human… it’s good for business
There are certain truths we all know, but keep forgetting. Like the fact that companies are made of people. People with loved ones, who laugh at jokes and have their good and bad days. BRND WGN’s Head of Business Development, Martin Dimbleby, tells us how brands need to make more of an effort to connect with their audiences on a human level.

Being an exec and a mother - a juggling act
Less than a year passed since our veteran exec, Lara Attard, stepped into her new roles of mother and head of client services. She shares some thoughts about what it takes to be a good exec and what parenthood has taught her… so far.
