Sarah recently joined @emilyeino.bsky.social of Hybrid Pub Scout for a conversation on their podcast about ethical business operations. #EthicalBusiness #PodcastInterview

This Black History month, we want to highlight someone who knows what it's like to be an immigrant in the U.S. and who has personally called for the abolition of 🧊. Meet Ilhan Omar, who in 2018, became the first Somali American to be elected to the United States Congress. #IlhanOmar #CongressWoman

As small business owners, we sift through A LOT of business advice. So many people try to sell us a magical solution that they promise will work for anyone. Sometimes, the advice isn't even bad, necessarily – we just know it's not a good fit for our business, or for ourselves. #BusinessAdvice

If you’re in the U.S., you’ve probably felt foolish, selfish, or absolutely paralyzed about promoting your business at one point or another, because EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE IN THIS COUNTRY.

When doing something feels bad, but doing nothing feels worse, what should guide our choices in our online marketing? More here: https://www.theradicalmarketer.com/how-do-we-do-marketing-when-everything-is-terrible/

Between the overuse of force by 🧊, and billionaires putting pressure on small businesses, it can feel pretty overwhelming to be a small business owner.

It is absolutely WILD how quickly TikTok went from bad to worse, just in the few days since Oracle took control of the U.S. version of the app. #TikTok

Are you stuck in a shame spiral, feeling like you “should” be on social media, or that your business “needs” social media? The reality is, you don’t need social media – social media needs YOU to make it valuable. #OnlineMarketingTips

In the past, social media hasn't let you segment your audience like you can with email marketing. Instead, your fate is left in the hands of the algorithm gods. LinkedIn, however, now has a newsletter feature, and when used strategically, it might function similarly to segmenting your audience.

Feeling drained by social media platforms – namely, the ones owned by a company that rhymes with "feta?" Or Tiktok’s new creepy and highly extractive terms of service. #TermsOfService #EthicalBusiness

My team and I will be out of the office today, in solidarity with the families who have lost loved ones due to the overuse of force by 🧊.

As small business owners, traditional business advice often tells us to pursue unsustainable and sometimes harmful habits. #PortlandOregon

There's a National Shutdown tomorrow... but what role are small businesses supposed to take in that? More here: https://www.theradicalmarketer.com/navigating-the-national-shutdown-as-a-small-business-owner/

It is absolutely WILD how much TikTok went from Bad to Worse, just in the couple of days between the writing of this and the publishing of it. Did y'all delete your TikToks? I sure did.

A lot of us are hyper-focused on reaching more people, or get discovered by the right people. We're putting ourselves out there on social media. We're making videos and churning out emails. We're guessing at key search terms, just to try to get more eyes on our websites. #PDXSmallBusiness

If you’re looking for a typical online marketer, you should know what you’re getting into with me. 😉 I put people and community first. But I always leave room for fun (and snacks).

Social media platforms love control, but you probably won't love the control they have over who has the right to use and reuse your content. More here: https://www.theradicalmarketer.com/social-media-usage-rights-make-a-great-case-for-email-marketing/

🎨 As a kid, I always loved puzzles and arts / crafts – anything that allowed me to flex my brain in a creative way.

Your website probably hasn’t made any of your visitors cry… but if you have too many choices, it HAS made your ideal clients bounce away!

I had some things to say on the topic of leaving social media! Some of them made it into this article!

Whether you’re building strategy or just choosing a social media platform, demographics aren't the guiding light they used to be. More here: https://www.theradicalmarketer.com/demographics-in-online-marketing-are-less-reliable-than-ever/

Some perspective re: MLK Jr. Day: It was not recognized as a national holiday until 1983. That’s 15 years after his death, despite the bill being reintroduced every year. It wasn’t recognized by all 50 states until 2000. We have so much work to do. reimaginednews.beehiiv.com/p/how-mlk-da...

If you find yourself with some free time on this MLK day, we encourage y’all to use some of your time to give back to BIPOC communities.

Hey, there! I'm Kaïa – your Social Media + Content Savant.

When you’re running a business or organization, online marketing often ends up being an afterthought… and we’ve all got one – or several – toxic traits when it comes to how we promote ourselves! I definitely called myself out with slide #4 😉 #ToxicTrait

LinkedIn’s algorithm is known for de-prioritizing posts that contain external links… but what do the effects of that actually look like? More here: https://www.theradicalmarketer.com/linkedin-doesnt-want-your-external-links/

Is storytelling the secret sauce to fix your online marketing in 2026? Yes, actually! But probably not for the reasons you think. In these past few weeks, how many times have you seen someone claim, "2026 will be the year of the storyteller?" You almost certainly did NOT hear it here first. 😉

I’ll admit it: I’m not big on new year’s resolutions. Still, whether or not I’m feeling the “New Year New You” energy, I know I DON’T want to keep having the same old problems. #NewYearNewYou #RealisticGoals

With all the social media platform changes as of late, you may be wondering what to do next. This is a GREAT time to re-evaluate your online presence--both for your business’ sake, and for the sake of your emotional energy. #MarketingAudit #ProtectYourPeace

We recently looked through a social media report from Metricool that reviewed 39 million successful pieces of content for common threads. #SocialMediaMarketingTips #DataReport

2025 was an especially difficult year for our Indigenous communities. With that in mind, we've selected Future Generations Collaborative to be our Q1 benefit org. #PortlandOregon

Are the open rates slowly dropping on your marketing emails? It might not be an accident: AI could be preventing folks from opening the newsletter you're so excited for folks to read. #EmailMarketingTips #PDXSmallBusiness

Is your business considering making the leap to Threads? It could be worth your time – if your audience is there and your content is the right fit. #PDXSmallBusiness
