As it’s the festive season, this month’s THUNK is all about generosity, with a sprinkling of future-gazing treats. We look forward to 2024 with the finest hand-picked marketing trends and predictions, and introduce a little fella with a bright career in the energy sector.
We unwrap what’s in store for ZAG 2.0 as we consider what generosity could mean for humankind not just for now, not just for Christmas, but for the long term.
Grab a mulled wine and thank you for reading THUNK this year. Merry Christmas from The Union.

‘Tis the season for gift giving, love and putting others first. But in our evermore complicated, cynical and chaotic post-pandemic world, are we giving less and taking more?
As we’re not ones to shy away from the controversial, ZAG 2.0, the conference for non-conformists, will take place on 8th February 2024 to explore the knotty theme of 'Generosity in a time of greed'. Michael Hart, Creative Director of The Union, reveals the backstory behind this choice and how you can be front and centre at the event.

“News just in… apparently sitting at a desk for hours shallow breathing isn’t good for us. So here’s a wee lifehack: breathe. It’s the one of the best ways to regulate your nervous system. If you’re looking for a quick win, then aim for one proper breath a day. And if you take time to do it, do it mindfully, and do it often enough, it really works wonders.”
Rory Imlach, Senior Art Director, Union Direct
