Nikki Cochrane is CoFo of Digital Mums - a digital education business that is transforming the working lives of mums by empowering women with flexible work - or Work That Works® as we call it. We educate mums with in-demand social media and digital skills via our Social Media Management training programmes and our new pilot programme, 'The Digital Retox', which aims to demystify the 21st century digital workplace. We connect them with a powerful support community so they can find rewarding work that works around their families. To enable more women to find flexible work, we create 21st century workplaces by supporting businesses to be more agile in their approach to the working day.

- Why we need to Clean up the F-WordNew research from Digital Mums shows 7 in 10 UK employees would like to have flexible working but only 12 percent have ever asked for it. Over half think that any request would be viewed negatively by their employer.

We believe the rigid and restrictive ‘9 to 5 coat-on-chair’ culture should be assigned to the past. To understand more, check out our F-Word video here:

- Digital Mums–finding the essenceWhile working through designs for various collatoral, I began to simplify & find connections to unify the Digital Mums brand—such as using full page photos (& quotes) that appealed to the emotions, using more & more of just one colour (with black & white).
