The Rise of the “Office Printer Aesthetic” 📠

2026’s unlikeliest print trend? 😬

👉Design that looks like it crawled out of a cheap office printer. Grainy. Streaky. Misaligned. Beautifully flawed.
It’s the anti-polish movement, and I’m all for it. 👏 👏 👏

There’s something raw, nostalgic, and unapologetically human about work that embraces imperfection instead of hiding it. It feels like photocopied zines, school printers on their last legs, and DIY culture reborn for a new era.

And at Gorilla, we’re not just watching the trend. We are loving it. 😍

Turning those gritty textures and “happy accidents” into brand assets with attitude the kind that cut through the glossy sameness of 2026 and make people feel something again.

If your brand’s ready to get a little messy, a little louder, and a lot more memorable… 🦍
We’ve got the printer for that.

The focus for Gorilla in 2026 is in building the design side of the business✏️

👉So, over the next few posts my attention is on discussing this years design trends.

We start with print getting its hands dirty again…🙌
2026 print design is pushing back against digital slickness with texture, tactility, and mixed media energy

🦍At Gorilla, we’re all in…
Embracing imperfect edges, analogue layering, and print that feels like it’s been made, not manufactured.

This year, the charm is in the fingerprints.
Which of course I love!!😍

🦍 Gorilla Consulting | 2026 Insight Drop 3

The Year Your Glasses Answer Back 👓

Move over, metaverse, the real star of marketing tech is quietly becoming augmented reality (AR), and it’s not limited to gamers or Gen Z anymore.😜

Here are the major factors driving this trend:
🕶️ Smart glasses overlay details onto your surroundings in real time
🧠 Artificial intelligence makes AR more advanced, efficient, and less awkward
🛍️ Retailers use AR to convert casual shoppers into buyers

Social platforms are weaving AR features into everyday posts (Snap, Meta, TikTok are all on board)
If your 2026 business plan leaves out AR, it's like trying to win Wimbledon with a wooden spoon.

At Gorilla, our advice is simple: don’t wait for the future to tap you on the shoulder, put it on your face and get moving

I'll be writing a blog later today, discussing more about AR and its role in small businesses. So keep checking on my site if you are interested; it should be up later.

🦍 Gorilla Consulting | 2026 Insight Drop 2...

Everyone’s shouting that AI will replace you. But here’s the truth: most of the loudest voices are the ones selling the hype.

AI isn’t a magic replacement for human thinking it’s a tool, and like any tool, it only works if you already know what you’re doing. Used blindly, it makes brands look cheap. Used well, it boosts creativity, targeting, and ideation.

The real 2026 challenge?
👉 Striking the balance. AI can accelerate your process, but it can’t replace your judgment, originality, or taste. It’s not “intelligent” it’s pattern matching at scale.

So, here’s the Gorilla rule for the year ahead:
Experiment with AI. Don’t outsource your brain to it.

Brands that rely on AI alone will blend into the noise. Brands that pair human insight with smart automation will stand out.
If you want to build a strategy that uses AI without losing your soul, you know where to find us.

Hope you enjoyed my totally AI reel! Not even sorry!

🦍 Gorilla Consulting | 2026 Insight Drop 1...

Algorithms didn’t create division, but they’ve absolutely learned to reward it.

As we head into 2026, the data is clear: platforms amplify whatever triggers the strongest emotional spike. Anger, fear, outrage… they travel fastest.

But here’s the shift worth watching: 👀
Audiences are waking up. Regulators are waking up. And platforms are being pushed toward greater user control, transparency, and (finally) the option to dial down the rage‑bait.

For brands, that means one thing:
👉 Stop chasing engagement at any cost. Start building trust, clarity, and relevance.

The next generation is choosing creators and companies who don’t manipulate their blood pressure for clicks.
2026 belongs to organisations that communicate with integrity, not algorithms.

Want to future‑proof your digital strategy? The Gorilla is listening.

Back to Work at Gorilla HQ...

Coffee... ✅
Desk sorted...✅
Caught up with emails... (well it's a work in progress!)

After taking some time out to reset and recharge, I’m back feeling grounded, refreshed, and ready to get creative again.

One thing that really hit home during the break is how valuable time is.

When you’re running a business, every hour matters and handing off your social media, design work, or content creation to a freelancer isn’t just outsourcing a task, it’s buying back your own time.
Time to focus on the work only you can do. Time to breathe a little easier.

If you’re ready to lighten the load, spark new ideas, or finally get those creative projects moving, I’m here and excited to help.

Get in touch and let’s make things happen.
