The Red Thread is our newsletter, emailed 6 times a year. It gives us the space to focus on 2 key thought-pieces; to explore important and timely events and issues, to approach them in the Redmandarin way, and communicate that to you via your inbox.
We also take a look at a sponsorship or partnership that has impressed us – one which we think has merit and opportunity and allows us to offer credit where due.
