I like to think people on Bluesky know this. But just in case… In Canada we do not vote for our Prime Minister. Ever. Every 4 years we vote for our local representative and the leader of the party with the most seats becomes the Prime Minister. 1/2 #cdnpoli

My goodness, thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. For everything! 🍁🍁🍁 #IStoodWithTrudeau #IStillStandWithTrudeau

Sometimes we forget, how exciting it is to begin. So we try to start at the end, and miss the whole journey. #Words #Thoughts #Inspo #Quotes #BeginnersMindset #TrustTheProcess

Today I had the thought, "Acting is finding the simplicity in complexity and the complexity in simplicity." Then I wondered if the same could be said for joy. And maybe that's where the magic is. #Thoughts #Acting #Words #Magic

I wrote about the weaponization of free speech last summer. Didn't know what to do with it, so it’s sitting in a Google Doc lol… shorturl.at/F1Pm2 Meanwhile, @mollyjongfast.bsky.social at @vanityfair.com just published a piece on how Trumpworld is waging a war on words. Worth a read. ⬇️

Landing pages are like dating profiles, if you don’t make it clear who you are and why you’re interesting, people will swipe away. 🚩🚩 What’s the biggest red flag you see on landing pages? — #Branding #BrandMarketing #LandingPages #ImpactBranding #Copywriting

On Chinese maps, Taiwan is typically labeled as “Taiwan Province,” reflecting the Chinese government’s stance that Taiwan is a province of China rather than an independent entity. Taiwanese maps and international maps generally label it simply Taiwan. Sound familiar? #GulfOfMexico

Do one thing every day that scares you. Me: **reads the news**

I’ve been doing a lot more “escaping” these days while my husband watches all the news. I keep telling myself I’m doing research for my future series 😂 What should I read next? Ive already read the 2 #PrinceOfSin books. #BookSky #KingdomOfTheWicked #Romantacy #BooksAndDogs @lokijuankenobi.com

Actors don’t “sell” emotions, they make you feel them. The best brands do the same. What’s the emotion at the heart of your brand? #Branding #BrandMarketing #ImpactBranding #SocialImpact

Good Morning! Buenos Dias!

Social impact founders, your landing page isn’t a TEDTalk, it’s a map. Show your audience exactly where they’re going, why it matters, and what happens if they take action (or don’t). Clarity > Complexity. #Branding #BrandMarketing #ImpactBranding #SocialImpact #Marketing

Social impact branding isn’t just about telling people what you stand for, it’s about showing it in every interaction. What’s one way your brand builds trust before ever making a sale? #Branding #BrandMarketing #ImpactBranding #SocialImpact

I’ve seen brands bury the real selling point 5 paragraphs down on their landing page. Your audience shouldn’t want to go on a treasure hunt to know why you matter. Put the gold where they can see it! #Branding #BrandMarketing #SocialImpact #LandingPages #Marketing #ImpactBranding #Copywriting

Struggling to connect with your audience? Start by listening. Survey them, read reviews, and join their conversations. Insights come from curiosity. #Branding #BrandMarketing #SocialImpact #ImpactBranding #ImpactFounders

Not sure how to make your brand feel cohesive? Try this: Define three words your audience should feel when they interact with your brand. Then audit your touchpoints, are they aligned? #Branding #BrandMarketing #SocialImpact #ImpactBranding

Branding isn’t selling, it’s storytelling. But instead of “Once upon a time…” it starts with: “We exist to…” What’s the story behind your brand? #Branding #BrandMarketing #Copywriting #Storytelling #SocialImpact #ImpactBranding

Love this beautiful poem by Mary Oliver Who are your favorite poets/ writers? #Poetry #Copywriting #Writing

Improv rule: “Yes, and!” keeps the scene moving forward. #Branding rule: Listen to your audience, and then expand on their needs. It’s all about creating a conversation, not just a monologue. What’s one thing you wish your audience understood better about your brand? #Marketing #SocialImpact

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Landing pages are like a first date: you’ve got seconds to make an impression. Be clear, confident, and always include your contact info (that’s your CTA!). What’s your favorite CTA to use? #Branding #BrandMarketing #ImpactBranding #SocialImpact #LandingPages #WebDesign

Playful branding isn’t about being cute, it’s about being human. The brands that connect us to a mission (and each other) are the ones we remember. What’s a brand that inspires you? #Branding #BrandMarketing #ImpactBranding #SocialImpact

Just finished Throne of Secrets by Kerri Maniscalco. (1/2) Fantasy always gets me thinking about branding. It’s just like world-building! Every detail matters, and every touchpoint adds to the story you’re telling. #Branding #BrandMarketing #DigitalMarketing #SocialImpact #ImpactBranding

Landing pages are like book covers for your brand. They might not tell the whole story, but they decide whether someone picks it up. Social impact founders: is your landing page doing its job? — #Branding #BrandMarketing #Webdesign #SocialImpact

“But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.” #MLK

TikTok back in less than 24 hours, with ‘Thanks, Trump!’ plastered everywhere. The guy who kickstarted the ban is now being framed as the hero who saved it. Turning your biggest critic into your poster boy? That’s got to be the wildest marketing arc ever. He’s gotta have shares in this thing.

When your dog is better at posting online than you are… #DogsOfBluesky #Chihuahua #Dogs #Pets #Cutie

Words to live by: “At our best, we share the better parts of ourselves: joy, solidarity, love, commitment. Not for reward, but in reverence for the incredible gift of life we’ve all been granted. To make every minute of our time here on Earth count.” ~ Joe Biden during his eulogy for Jimmy Carter

Reminder that Cristy Clark was leader of the BC Liberal Party, now BC United, which is a Conservative Party occupying a centre-right position. She is not a Liberal. #cdnpoli

In the holiday chaos, what makes a message worth opening? (1/3) It’s not scarcity tactics or flashy subject lines. It’s purpose. It’s connection. It’s the kind of story that makes someone pause in the chaos and think, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴. #Branding is not just for corporations and products.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” – The Office (Michael Scott) #BrandLesson: Innovation can look messy, but playing it safe won’t win you the game. Shoot your shot—you might just go viral. #Branding #BrandMarketing #TVQuotes #ImpactBranding

23 years ago, I lost my little sister, brother, and their friend in a house fire. My dad lost his home, and we lost so much more. Today is hard. I share to remember them, to honor their lives, and as reminder to please practice fire safety. Hold your loved ones extra close today. ❤️

At the end of the day, we are all spinning around the Sun at the same 67,000 mph (107,000 km/hr) and around the Milky Way the same 448,000 mph (720,000 km/hr).

Heard my hubby humming the song from my all time fav Christmas ad ☃️ With nostalgia, humor, and a clever twist, IRN-BRU nailed iconic, unapologetically cheeky Scottish branding. You know you’ve done something right when a 🇨🇦 is humming it 19 years later ❤️💚 #IconicBranding #Branding #BrandMarketing
