AI generated video continues to improve in quality and accessibility. The best thing we can all do is try and get better at spotting it.
That’s not to say it’s not useful! Creatives can use ai to improve productivity — more accurate storyboards are a plus!

I suppose my point is, let’s not rely on AI to replace the job of creatives. It’s an easily misused, naturally biased tool that often overlooks the details.
When it comes to projects that affect people in real and meaningful ways: real and meaningful people will always work better than AI!

Business reports often end up being the ugly duckling of print media. Regularly left as a plain word document, poor formatting and layouts make such documents unattractive and hard to read.
When composing emission reports for community groups across the Western Isles, Muirneag Consulting recognised these hurdles and got in touch and have layouts and covers professionally tailored.
The result is four unique reports, each designed with stakeholders in mind.
Personally, I’m delighted with how both the printed reports and digital copies have turned out, and I’m looking forward to working with Muirneag again in the future.
