🎨 AI will never make good art. AI scours the web for inspiration – or is trained on specific data – from already existing art made by real humans. It then takes an average of all the artistic choices those artists made.

Like a lot of you, I’m often wrestling with the time I spend on social. As a business owner who offers social media marketing services, the ethics – or too often, the lack thereof – of social media have always been on my mind. #UpsweptCreative #SocialMediaMarketingAgency #PDXSmallBusiness

Do you know the embarrassment of posting a big promo blast on social, and then realizing you put the wrong day of the week on the graphic? I sure do. Because I’ve done it. 😅

Apparently, only 3.7% of social media creatives are doing social without using AI... half of them are using AI for a task they don’t even trust it to do well. More here: https://www.theradicalmarketer.com/why-are-we-using-ai-for-social-media-content/

LinkedIn is the place to hang out if you’re a business owner or professional looking to build connections. It’s almost like LinkedIn was built to help you find businesses in need of support. 🤭 #LinkedInMarketing #B2BMarketing

I may be a roller derby veteran, a mom to both a small human and a cat, a personal trainer who can deadlift 375lbs, and, of course, the brains behind a small marketing agency. But what exactly makes me the person you want to work with and an expert at what I do? #UpsweptCreative #MarketingAgency

A brand voice gives your business character and gives your audience a reason to engage with you. But a brand voice can be difficult to nail down when there are so many different directions you could go with it. #BrandVoice #PDXSmallBusiness

This week was National Nonprofit Day! Between the uncertainty causing folks to dial down their spending and the federal funding cuts, it’s been a tough year for nonprofits.

With all the happenings lately, we’re bracing ourselves for further instability, and wondering what to do next. This is a GREAT excuse to re-evaluate your social media presence. #SocialMediaMarketing

It's become pretty to spot AI-generated marketing text. But things aren’t going quite as planned for AI tech bros. A study found that copy written by humans saw more engagement than copy written by AI. Keep that in mind, the next time you consider using AI to write a social media post.

If marketing your business is giving you the ick, you may be wondering if you're part of the problem. With time and intention, however, you can align your values and voice with how you market your business. #MarketingAgency

When I was a kid, it used to make me SO mad when ads for back-to-school started popping up in July and August. I would think to myself, “I know school starts soon, and this sweet summer freedom will be gone once again. Please, stop reminding me!” 😤 My ADHD brain was not having it.

The Call To Action is arguably the most important part of your marketing message and it’s also the part that many people get wrong. Whether it’s too many words, or not enough of them, a CTA that’s meant to guide your audience can just as easily confuse them, or put them off entirely. #CallToAction
