A little bit about myself and why I chose dxw… Hi, I’m Kimmy, dxw’s new Business Operations Intern. Having recently entered the workplace after spending time looking after my father, I am now branching out as an intern at dxw. I have found that the work I do with dxw suits me well, the […]
My story so far… Having finished my master’s degree at 34, I’m what you would call a career changer. I began in print journalism, which is great fun, but a very different content model now. Journalism showed me how much I enjoy interacting with the public and telling their stories, which is the right ethos […]
Hi, I’m Dom, and a couple of weeks ago I joined dxw as Head of Technology. I’ve been contracting for the best part of a decade, working with clients in both the public and private sector for anywhere between six weeks and 18 months. Some of my most rewarding roles in that time have been […]
Six years is an unusual amount of time to spend working for the same company these days – more so when that company works with technology.

Thrown into the hustle and bustle at dxw from the get-go, my introductory blog post seems to have eluded me (I succeeded in avoiding it until it was mentioned to me a week ago). Fast forward three months, this is now my ‘how my three-month internship went’ blog post. (Breaking news: I have now been […]
This summer we headed off to Birmingham to sponsor and take part in the CommsCamp unconference, where a converted warehouse played host to over 180 public sector PR, marketing and communications professionals. Throughout the day, a common theme that emerged was of the problems with internal communications in the public sector and how these can be […]
After nearly two years at dxw, the time has come for me to move on. I have not been particularly good at writing blog posts for dxw. In fact, writing blog posts used to be a big part of a previous job, and then I only wrote about two per year. So when I was […]
Back in June, we introduced you to our ‘Today I learned’ channel. The channel has been buzzing with activity of late, so here are a few of the latest lessons we’ve been learning. Enjoy!
