  55. <p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Creativity is one of the most deeply human traits. It comes from our emotions, experiences, and personal stories; things that technology simply does not have. While artificial intelligence is an incredibly useful tool that helps speed up our work, it should not replace or exploit the efforts of artists, writers, musicians, and other creative professionals without their permission.</p>
  56. <h3>The Government’s Copyright Changes: A Risky Move</h3>
  57. <p><strong><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-consults-on-proposals-to-give-creative-industries-and-ai-developers-clarity-over-copyright-laws#:~:text=The%20UK%20has%20today%20launched%20a%20consultation,can%20be%20used%20to%20train%20AI%20models.&amp;text=To%20address%20this%2C%20the%20consultation%20proposes%20introducing,can%20control%20the%20use%20of%20their%20content." target="_blank" rel="noopener">The government is looking at making changes that would allow artificial intelligence to use copyrighted material without asking for permission or giving credit</a></strong>. This is worrying because it means large companies could benefit from artificial intelligence systems that mimic real artists while the original creators get nothing in return.</p>
  58. <p>At the moment, the government is proposing a system where creative professionals have to actively opt out if they do not want their work to be used for training artificial intelligence. While some might think this is fair, it puts all the responsibility on artists to keep their work from being taken.</p>
  59. <p>Instead, it would make more sense to have an opt-in system, where creative professionals must give permission before their work is used. Imagine walking into a car rental company, picking a car, and driving off without asking. That would never be acceptable; so why should artificial intelligence companies be able to take the work of artists before getting their consent?</p>
  60. <h3>Artificial Intelligence is Built on Existing Data; And That’s the Problem</h3>
  61. <p>Artificial intelligence does not create something new from nothing. It learns from what already exists. If you ever try asking artificial intelligence to generate an image of a watch displaying any time other than ten past ten, you will quickly notice that most of the images it creates still show ten past ten. Why? Because throughout history, watch photographers have found that this is the most aesthetically pleasing display, and artificial intelligence has learned from their work.</p>
  62. <p>This is just a small but powerful example of how artificial intelligence is shaped by what it finds online. It is not an independent creative force. It is trained on the work of real artists, designers, and photographers.</p> </div>

  81. <h3>The Real Issue: Artists Deserve Control and Payment</h3>
  82. <p>The real problem here is not the technology itself, but how it is used. Artists should have the right to decide whether their work is used to train artificial intelligence. If they choose to allow it, they should be fairly paid for it. At the moment, there are not enough protections in place, and this urgently needs to change.</p>
  83. <p>Would we allow artificial intelligence to learn from our work at Simply Creative Agency? Maybe; but only if we are properly rewarded and we give permission first. That should be the standard for everyone.</p>
  84. <h3>A Call for Ethical Artificial Intelligence Practices</h3>
  85. <p>Artificial intelligence has a place in the creative world, but it should not come at the expense of human creativity. The government needs to make sure that creative professionals are protected, rather than making it easier for their work to be taken without permission. An opt-in system would be the right step forward, making sure that artists, designers, and musicians stay in control of their own work.</p>
  86. <p>At Simply Creative Agency, we believe in pushing creative boundaries, but we also believe in fairness. Artificial intelligence should be a tool that helps creative professionals, not one that takes advantage of them. If you are a creative person, now is the time to speak up. Let’s make sure artificial intelligence works for us, not against us.</p> </div>

  139. <p>For Bedford’s small business owners, local SEO is a game-changer for reaching nearby customers and standing out from competitors. Here’s how to optimise your website for local visibility.</p><h4>1. <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/business/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Claim Your Google Business Profile</strong></a></h4><p>Set up and verify your Google Business Profile. Fill in all details like business hours, contact info, and service categories. Encourage customers to leave reviews as these boost credibility.</p><h4>2. <strong>Use Location-Based Keywords</strong></h4><p>Incorporate keywords like “<span style="color: #ff6600;"><a style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bedford</a></span>”, “<span style="color: #ff6600;"><a style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedfordshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bedfordshire</a></span>”, and relevant neighbourhoods into your website content, title tags, and meta descriptions. For example, “Affordable web design in Bedford” can improve local relevance and help you rank for local searches.</p><h4>3. <strong>Optimise for Mobile</strong></h4><p>As more people use mobiles to search locally, make sure your site is fast, responsive, and mobile-friendly. This not only improves the user experience but also enhances SEO rankings on mobile searches.</p><h4>4. <strong>Add Localised Content</strong></h4><p>Regularly publish blog posts about local events, news, or collaborations, positioning your business as an active part of the community. Sharing insights into Bedford’s market trends or guides tailored to the area can improve search visibility.</p><h4>5. <strong>List Your Business in Local Directories</strong></h4><p>Register your business on local directories like <span style="color: #ff6600;"><a style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://thebedfordguide.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Bedford Guide</a></span>, Yell, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><a style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://www.chamber-business.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce</a></span>, and any industry-specific listings. Consistent business information (NAP: Name, Address, Phone Number) is crucial across platforms for Google’s ranking algorithm.</p><h4>6. <strong>Get Local Backlinks</strong></h4><p>Collaborate with Bedford businesses or bloggers for backlinks, as local links show Google your connection to the community. Partner with local organisations, write guest posts, or sponsor events to build these connections.</p><h4>7. <strong>Use Schema Markup</strong></h4><p>Implement local business schema on your site to give search engines detailed info about your location, opening hours, and contact details. This helps display rich snippets, like maps, contact info, and reviews directly on search pages.</p><h4>Why Trust Us?

That is why we were deeply honoured to be chosen to film the Bedford <strong><a href="https://www.bedfordindependent.co.uk/category/news/community-charity/everyday-heroes-awards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Everyday Heroes Awards</a></strong>, a celebration of the extraordinary individuals who make our town a better place through their selfless actions and unwavering dedication.</span></p><p>The Bedford Heroes event was not just another project for our team; it was an opportunity to engage with the heart of our community. As we set up our cameras and began filming, we were struck by the humility and grace of the honourees. These are people who do not seek recognition, yet their contributions have touched the lives of so many. From volunteers who have given countless hours to charitable causes, to individuals who have gone above and beyond to help their neighbours, the stories we captured are a testament to the strength and compassion that define Bedford.</p> </div>

It reminded us that heroism is not always about grand gestures, but often about the quiet, consistent efforts that build a stronger, more caring community.

It was a privilege to witness the interactions between the honourees and their supporters—moments of genuine gratitude and mutual respect that highlighted the interconnectedness of our community. As filmmakers, we strive to capture not just images, but emotions and stories that resonate long after the camera stops rolling. The Bedford Heroes event provided us with a rich tapestry of such moments, each one contributing to the larger narrative of what makes Bedford a truly special place.</p> </div>

  486. <h3>1- Why Multichannel Video Distribution?</h3><p>Before diving into the nitty-gritty of budget-friendly distribution strategies, let&#8217;s understand why multichannel distribution is crucial. Simply put, it&#8217;s about meeting your audience where they are. From social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to video-sharing giants like YouTube, each channel offers a unique opportunity to connect with potential customers.</p><p>By diversifying your distribution channels, you not only expand your reach but also increase brand visibility and engagement. Moreover, it allows you to adapt your content to suit the preferences of different audiences, ultimately driving conversions and fostering brand loyalty.</p><h3>2- Crafting Your Budget-Friendly Strategy</h3><p>Now, let&#8217;s explore how you can create a multichannel video distribution strategy without burning a hole in your pocket:</p><h4>a. Repurpose Content</h4><p>One of the most cost-effective ways to maximise your video distribution is by repurposing existing content. Convert longer videos into bite-sized clips, create teaser trailers, or extract key insights for blog posts or infographics. This not only saves time and resources but also ensures that your message reaches a wider audience across various platforms.</p><h4>B. Leverage User-Generated Content</h4><p>Harness the power of user-generated content (UGC) to amplify your brand&#8217;s reach. Encourage your audience to create and share videos related to your products or services. Not only does this foster community engagement, but it also provides authentic social proof, driving credibility and trust.</p><h4>C. Embrace Live Video</h4><p>Live video is a cost-effective way to engage with your audience in real-time. Platforms like Facebook Live, Instagram Live, and YouTube Live offer unparalleled opportunities to showcase your brand&#8217;s personality, host Q&amp;A sessions, or unveil behind-the-scenes content. Best of all, it requires minimal production effort and can be a powerful addition to your multichannel distribution strategy.</p><h4>D. Collaborate with Influencers</h4><p>Partnering with influencers or micro-influencers can significantly expand your reach without the hefty price tag of traditional advertising. Identify influencers relevant to your niche and collaborate on sponsored content or product reviews. Their endorsement can introduce your brand to a whole new audience, driving traffic and conversions.</p><h3>3- Partner with Simply Creative Agency in Bedford</h3><p>At Simply Creative Agency, we&#8217;re not just another agency – we&#8217;re your strategic partner in success. Located at our new creative office at 1st Floor of 113 High Street, Bedford, MK40 3FD, just above the Salvation Army charity shop next to Barclays Bank, we&#8217;re proud to be one of the leading creative video production agencies in Bedfordshire if not UK.</p><p>Our team combines expertise with innovation to deliver compelling video content tailored to your brand&#8217;s unique identity.

  689. <h3>1- What is mobile-first website design?</h3><p>Mobile-first website design is a design approach that prioritizes designing websites for mobile devices first, rather than designing for desktop computers and then adapting the design for mobile devices. With the majority of internet users accessing websites on mobile devices, mobile-first design ensures that websites are optimised for the smaller screens and limited bandwidth of mobile devices. This design approach involves creating a simplified and streamlined user interface, optimising website content for smaller screens, and using responsive design techniques to ensure that websites adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions. Mobile-first website design is an essential aspect of modern website design and development, as it ensures that websites are accessible and user-friendly for the majority of internet users.</p><h3>2- How do I make my site mobile-friendly?</h3><p>If you have an existing website that is not mobile-friendly and you want to make it mobile-friendly using a mobile-first approach, here are some steps you can follow which we practice here at Simply Creative in Bedford to help our clients:</p><p>a- Analyse your website: The first step is to analyse your website and identify areas that need improvement. Use a tool like <strong><a href="https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Google&#8217;s Mobile-Friendly Test</a></strong> to see how your website performs on mobile devices and identify any issues that need to be addressed.</p><p>b- Prioritise content: When designing for mobile devices, it&#8217;s important to prioritise content and focus on the most important information first. Identify the most important content on your website and make sure it&#8217;s easily accessible on smaller screens.</p><p>c- Simplify your design: Mobile devices have smaller screens, so it&#8217;s important to simplify your design to ensure that your website is easy to navigate and use on mobile devices. Remove any unnecessary elements from your design, and use a minimalist approach to ensure that your website is easy to use on smaller screens.</p><p>d- Use responsive design: Responsive design ensures that your website adapts to different screen sizes and resolutions, making it easy to use on any device. Use responsive design techniques to ensure that your website is optimised for mobile devices.</p><p>e- Optimize images: Large images can slow down your website on mobile devices, so it&#8217;s important to optimise your images for smaller screens. Use image compression techniques to reduce the file size of your images and ensure that they load quickly on mobile devices.</p><p>f- Use mobile-friendly fonts: Some fonts can be difficult to read on smaller screens, so it&#8217;s important to use mobile-friendly fonts that are easy to read on mobile devices.</p><h3>3- How does mobile-first website design impact search engine optimization (SEO)?</h3><p>Mobile-first website design has a significant impact on search engine optimization (SEO) as search engines like Google prioritise mobile-friendly websites in search results. Here are some ways in which mobile-first website design can impact SEO:</p><p>a- Improved user experience: Mobile-first design focuses on creating a user-friendly and seamless experience on mobile devices, which can lead to increased user engagement and improved SEO. Websites that are easy to use and navigate on mobile devices are more likely to rank higher in search results.</p><p>b- Faster page load times: Mobile-first design involves optimising website content and using responsive design techniques to ensure that websites load quickly on mobile devices. Websites that load quickly on mobile devices are more likely to rank higher in search results.</p><p>c-Mobile-first indexing: Google now uses mobile-first indexing, which means that it primarily uses the mobile version of a website for indexing and ranking purposes. Websites that are optimised for mobile devices are more likely to rank higher in search results than websites that are not mobile-friendly.</p><p>d- Reduced bounce rates: Mobile-first design can help reduce bounce rates by providing a seamless and user-friendly experience on mobile devices. Websites with lower bounce rates are more likely to rank higher in search results.</p><p>e- Increased social sharing: Mobile devices are increasingly used for social sharing, and websites that are optimised for mobile devices are more likely to be shared on social media. Increased social sharing can lead to improved SEO and increased visibility in search results.</p><p> </p><p> </p> </div>
