GDPR Preparation March and April: Course Correct
Wow, how did March just happen? Living in a country that just fell apart like a
clown car because of snow, it’s still feeling decidedly wintery here in the UK,

border into the brave new world of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Tonight I'm gonna IR like it's 99 (days until GDPR)…
Sorry Nena, it was going to be you or Prince that was going to get the headline,
and whilst 99 Red Balloons [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ1TQYjCwYc] is a
catchy 80’s classic, I had to give credit to His Royal Purpleness
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rblt2EtFfC4]. It was that or pay tribute to a
childhood favourite vanilla ‘whippy’ ice cream, adorned with a Cadbury’s Flake,
but I’m not so sure that would resonate so well with a global audience.
“Why 99?”, you may ask. Why not a nice roun

them down (which does bear a slight resemblance to stalking, granted, but we're

of Names of Things. Lack of necessity and general old age has meant I've now
long since forgotten most of them (but thanks to Google, my second brain, I can

amongst the subject matters in which my five-year-old self was a bit of an
expert. I would point at the sky and wow

I hit a marketer's milestone on Thursday – my first official award ceremony,
courtesy of the folks at Computing Security Awards
[https://computingsecurityawards.co.uk/], which was held at The Cumberland Hotel
in London. Staying out late on a school night when there's a 16 month old
teething toddler in the house definitely took it's toll the following morning,
but the tiredness was definitely softened by the sweet knowledge that we'd left
the award ceremony brandishing so
