Canva: Your New Marketing Best Friend (VIDEO)

June Updates (VIDEO)

It’s been some time since I’ve made a video, and some SOME time since I’ve done so with any sort of consistency. But we’re back at it and have a lot planned. Not to say it’s all going to work out (in fact, I imagine most of it won’t!) but, what doesn’t work will provide …

Video Marketing MAGIC

So. I’m trying to sit down and have a normal, productive day of work. And it’s really failing because I can’t get Brandon Sanderson’s latest announcement out of my head. When I watched it, sent to me this morning, it was a #1 on trending. At this point, it’s been out for about exactly a …

How-To: Tag Your Personal Friends on Your Business Facebook Page

Recently I uploaded a bunch of photos of some great people to my business facebook page. I wanted to tag the people in the photos and… found out I couldn’t. As my business page my friends did not show up. As my personal page, I couldn’t even tag. Thankfully a quick jaunt into “Settings” solved …

Happy Birthday Puppies!

Puppies during lockdown was a serendipitous experience. Outside of the endless crying (there were NINE puppies…) and even more bottomless pooping (NINE!), I’d say it ended too quickly. But wow, here we are a year later and my, what a difference a year can make. Let’s love on these not-so-babies, shall we?

Can I See What Ads People are Running on Facebook? Yes, yes you can.

It feels like I’m spying every time I check out whether or not a company is running ads on Facebook. What are your thoughts? Somehow you found your way onto this blog, before you knew it was possible, did it feel like cheating to you? Because really, we can look at what our “competitor” is …

Consistency > Perfection with Video

I think it’s a common desire, the elusive “Being Discovered”. The thought goes, “If I put forth this ONE. PERFECT. THING. someone will see it and notice me. I will be whisked away into stardom and fame befitting my awesomeness.” I’m not here to crush all your dreams. There is always that CHANCE. And, there …

You can add extra urls to your Instagram Account with this one tool

It’s so annoying to try to link to something in an Instagram post (a blog referenced, a vlog, a product…) and suddenly remember that the url won’t be live and someone will need to type that web address into their browser to see it because it’s not a hyperlink. My guess is that Instagram wants …

We got such a beautiful day for this shoot, and it was nice getting to update a few shots from our last one together. No sense in running winter ads in summer right? Although it is Michigan and hail is not unheard of year-round... 🥶
