Don't say it isn't personal...
Brexit was the first wound. Many immigrants felt it deeply personal - the majority of Britain’s population seemingly deciding that people like us were no longer welcome. Many EU citizens left Britain altogether, heading back to their homelands, exhausted and disheartened. Since then, the rhetoric has been mostly aimed at so-called illegal immigrants. Now, politicians hardly bother with that distinction. We are all lumped together, vilified simply for existing here.
Want a seat at the table? Bring your own chair
In my brief stint as an employee working within corporate, I was always waiting. Waiting for a pay rise. Waiting for recognition. Waiting for promotion. It was at the tender age of 27 that I gave up wishing and hoping and started my own marketing agency. It felt empowering to take control; to be master of my own destiny even though the road has been full of its own challenges over the years. But entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone – and also, shouldn’t we stay in the game and fight the good fight?
Excellence isn’t a destination
I can’t say I love long drives, but they’ve become my classroom - time to listen to a podcast and arrive with a new perspective. Recently, I listened to Emma Grede in conversation with Mel Robbins. Emma is the founding partner of SKIMS, co-founder and CEO of Good American, host of @aspirewithemmagrede - and a mum of four (no imposter syndrome here). The interview held my attention for the entire 1 hour and 26 minutes, which is rare.
What judging the BAHBAs taught me about business
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of announcing the ‘New Business of the Year’ for the Brighton & Hove Business Awards. My ‘30 words of fame’ moment took place halfway through the ceremony, when I took to the podium at St Peter’s Church and revealed the winner. The few hundred attendees cheered, the winners thanked their team, and the photographer choreographed a symbolic photograph to mark the occasion. A perfect Platinum-style bowtie to complete my first BAHBAs experience.
Leah Boxell - Platinum Media Group
Leah Boxell, Founder and CEO of Enablists. From Chaos to Enabling: Leah talks of her journey of resilience and empowerment Life shapes us through challenges, and my journey to founding Enablists has been anything but ordinary. Marked by adversity, resilience, and a deep desire to help others, I now dedicate my work to empowering businesses and individuals to navigate uncertainty and thrive. A Childhood of Hardship and Survival My story began with heartbreak.
My image through someone else’s lens
A few weeks ago, I was one of three female entrepreneurs selected to be part of a national campaign. An ex-Vogue photographer and her brilliant assistant came down to Brighton solely to capture me, and a team of writers flocked to hear my story. Armed in my yellow suit, it was an empowering experience that I excitedly relayed to friends shortly after. The whole campaign was centred around championing women who build businesses and elevating unique, inspiring stories.
The Brighton Girl Awards - winners named after three month campaign
By Pippa Moyle. On Thursday, March 27, 150 people gathered at PLATF9RM Hove to celebrate 20 award winners and mark the finale of a very exciting three month campaign. The Brighton Girl Awards saw thousands of local residents spotlight the businesses and pioneers that make Brighton and Hove a great place to belong.
The road to the Brighton Girl Awards
By Pippa Moyle, CEO and Founder of City Girl Network. Nine-and-a-half years ago, I took a walk that changed my life. I’d moved to Brighton eight months previously as a graduate, dreaming of a life full of lunch breaks on the beach, gossip over lattes, a book club family, meandering around markets, and home making through thrift stores.
Our next Queen - Platinum Media Group
Royal watching can be a fickle pastime undertaken by royal watchers, themselves a fickle bunch. There are rules, though none written down, about how the public demands their senior royals behave while out and about. At times, those same watchers are completely at odds with how the royal family wish to portray themselves in public.
The FTSE Women Leaders Review 2025
The FTSE Women Leaders Review is an independent, business-led initiative supported by the Government. It aims to increase women’s representation on FTSE 350 boards, leadership teams, and within the UK’s 50 largest private companies. Building on the Hampton-Alexander and Davies Reviews, it operates voluntarily, collaborating with businesses to drive gender balance. Below is our summary of the Lloyds and KPMG-sponsored report released in February.
Bridging the confidence gap
Pippa Moyle, CEO and Founder of the City Girl Network suggests applying for awards should improve your confidence, and maybe teach you something about yourself Putting myself forward for accolades such as Dynamic Awards is one of the most terrifying parts of running a business. Not the sales meetings, or public speaking, or interviewing, or cashflow sorting; it’s the awards applications. The day-to-day ‘scaries’ are all a part of the daily job description of being a company director.
“Winning is a process” - Platinum Media Group
We are delighted to have Alex Bailey contributing to Dynamic. She is a Global CEO and Co-Founder with 20+ years of expertise in HR leadership, psychology, coaching, and organisational change. She specialises in cultural evolution, leadership, and performance, delivering impactful programmes globally while speaking at international events. This really struck me last year while listening to Venus on Chris Evans’ radio show on Virgin.
A wellness budget should be part of your personal finance plan
January has passed as it always does – resolutions, goal setting, vision boarding, new me-ing. Less booze, more kefir; less chicken, more tofu. Personally, I sit in the camp that loves the fresh starts that the first few weeks of January bring, even if I know that it’ll all fall away as fast as it began. This year, however, the resolution posts have been met with an undercurrent of change.
New job anxiety - Platinum Media Group
Our brain tries its best to protect us at all costs. As it handles so much at once, a lot of the tasks the brain completes are repetitive; it becomes programmed to operate on autopilot to stop us from thinking too hard about everyday activities. But when something new comes along – something our brain isn’t used to or knows little about – it can trigger a level of anxiety. This can be exactly what happens when we’re starting a new job or changing careers.
Britain’s unregulated cosmetics industry
Following on from an article in June’s Dynamic highlighting the dangers inherent in the unregulated industry, Dynamic looks at ITV’s exposé, ‘Britain’s Backstreet Surgery Scandal’ Undercover filming by ITV News gave an insight into dangerous cosmetic practices being carried out in some of Britain’s high-street salons by ‘wild west operators’.
A balancing act - Platinum Media Group
For nearly nine years, I’ve been growing a national network of women across the UK made up of local community groups. The mission is simple: helping women belong where they are. The execution is complex. We host a range of different events to help women connect with each other, as well as managing several social media channels to facilitate that connection online.
Honor Barratt - Platinum Media Group
Ten years ago, I had a hugely successful career in television. I had worked my way up from a clueless runner, fresh out of university to group Managing Director of a 150-person agency. My work was super exciting, but at 40 I was a bit restless. Then the private equity firm who’d invested in my company asked me to take a look at one of their struggling portfolios, some later-living developments.
Avoiding the 'perfection' trap
The pressure to appear flawless online and in every aspect of our lives is taking a significant toll on our wellbeing. Nearly two million people in the UK are currently on waiting lists for mental health services, with the average wait for support 703 days. Undoubtedly, the online culture of rising perfectionism is a contributing factor.
Are you aiming high enough?
Social conditioning from a young age keeps girls neat and contained. We should be humble and ‘lady-like’, we need to play nicely and create harmony. Do what’s expected with no big surprises. No one likes a woman who’s too full of herself, right?
Community is the new influencer
Influencer: the Marmite of marketing strategies; a $24bn industry with countless statistics proving its effectiveness, with a growing culture of scepticism over the authenticity of influencers themselves. But, change is afoot. As world-renowned marketing teams invest in a hyper-local strategy, Influencers have changed their names to Content Creators, adding ‘building a community’ to their ‘day in the life’ videos.
Carina Bauer - Platinum Media Group
During my school holidays, I used to accompany my dad to work which mostly involved him flying to Europe or the US, speaking at events, meeting business partners and striking deals. I had no idea what a formative experience this would be – being immersed in different cultures, travelling to extraordinary places and meeting inclusive, talented people was all in a day’s ‘work’.
Understanding your brain to craft a fulfilling career
By Naomi de Barra, C.Psychol, MSc, BSc, Chartered Psychologist and recent guest on St James’ Place Financial Adviser Academy’s podcast The Switch In my role as a Chartered Psychologist, I always like to remind people, “You are you!” We are all different and our brains are unique. Understanding your motivations, values, and the workings of your mind, can help you craft a career that is both fulfilling and sustainable.
Girls in the city
The City Girl Network is the UK’s largest women’s network, with 145,000 members and a spending power of £2.2bn. We’re the all-encompassing big sister, influencing buying decisions, property purchases and relationships. Friends are made, businesses are built and neighbourhoods are invested in as a direct result of our community. And it all began with a walk on Hove Promenade. I was 23 at the time. I’d just moved to Brighton to start my life after graduating from the University of Sheffield.
Big Story: Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
In March 2021, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) elected Nigerian economist Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as its Director-General. She is both the first female and the first African to hold this role. She has held many important financial posts, both in her native Nigeria, the World Bank in Washington, DC, as well as her current role as the head of world trade.
Jonny Quits – Jonny Quits — Counterfeit Magazine
I think all fans of rock and roll wish that they had grown up in the 50s and 60s. Back when live shows were the only way for bands to make money and the only way for you to judge how great their sound is because youtube wasn’t around for you to try to recollect it. Jonny Quits is one in a million bands who are trying to bring that vibe back, but you know what they say, “it only takes that one in a million” and this band could be them.
