How it started ? How it's going About a year and a half ago, six-plus months of the most in-depth but gratifying work I've ever done showed up on my doorstep in the form of "Nowhere Else You'd Rather Be" – a book commemorating the 50-year anniversary of the Buffalo Bills' stadium in Orchard Park. Today, on my one-year anniversary of joining Connolly Studios, 10,200 copies of that book have been sold. While that (still growing) figure never ceases to amaze me, I couldn't be happier to share that book No. 2 will be here soon! "Taking Flight: Inside Josh Allen's Leap From No Offers to NFL MVP" is another 176-page collector's book that covers Allen's career from his humble beginnings in a small California town through the night he became MVP of the NFL, via timeless photos and extensive reporting from The Buffalo News. Pre-sale pricing lasts only two more weeks, so secure your copy before March 16 for your last chance at 20% off. And, because we're all about maximizing impact and opportunities here at Connolly Studios, our friends at The News will donate a portion of the proceeds for each book sold to our fellow friends at the Patricia Allen Fund, which benefits the Critical Care Team at John R. Oishei Children's Hospital. Link in the comments to pre-order yours today!

While some people have pinch-me moments, I've had a whole pinch-me season. And these last two weeks have only reinforced how honored I am to be a part of the team that co-produces the Patricia Allen Fund newsletter, sharing impactful stories to a worldwide community of people who have a passion for Josh Allen and OCH. When Josh was officially named MVP on Feb. 6, Brian Connolly and I seamlessly flipped into journalist-on-deadline mode to tag team a next-morning email that captured this historic moment in Buffalo sports history. H/T to Nick Schafer (Kaczmarek) for the late-night ideating and Danielle Ossher for the quality control in the morning. S/O to the other members of the PAF Pack, alexis rivera and Matthew Gorczyca, for their creativity and enthusiasm. And a huge thank you to Kristen Bieber and Erin Hartnett for all the trust they've placed in us to execute these big (and sometimes crazy) ideas. OCH reached their initial MVP goal of $17K within what seemed like a couple hours. The total today is over $100K and counting! All due to a total team effort. I couldn't think of a better way to cap off an unforgettable first year with the Patricia Allen Fund (well, maybe except for a Super Bowl). Is it September yet?
Congratulations to Josh Allen on his well-deserved MVP award! Celebrate Josh's amazing achievement with a gift to the Patricia Allen Fund: https://shorturl.at/ee4w4 We are so proud of the way our favorite QB played this season, all while finding the time to support the moms, kids and babies at OCH. To honor JA17's inspiring commitment both on and off the field, one of our Patricia Allen Fund All-Stars is stepping up to match all donations over the next 17 days – up to $17,000 raised! Donate now to double your impact ?? ??

We're thrilled to support TechBuffalo and this inspiring afternoon –?free for all in our community to attend – as a workshop sponsor and host. Hope to see you there!
This creative force presenting at a tech conference?! You know it. Because tech is as deeply ingrained in our work as anyone. I'm seriously honored (and just a little nervous) to be a part of Women in Tech WNY next month, hosting a workshop about getting the *real* work done with two ?? women I've had the pleasure to collaborate with: Jodie Orcutt and Tiffanie Woods ? Join us on March 27 to dive into how to sharpen your approach to marketing and build the momentum needed to make change happen. Realistically. (With case studies as proof!)

Some of the most meaningful work I've done has been assisting the team of passionate Buffalonians behind the fundraising success of John R. Oishei Children's Hospital's Patricia Allen Fund. Those who are able have donated millions towards lifesaving medical care for these kids. How lucky are we to have Josh Allen in our community?! What a guy... https://lnkd.in/gqHzxTRv
We’re all so proud of you. Congratulations to our MVP, Josh Allen. #NFLHonors

The journalist in me values people who are willing to patiently share their deep knowledge so that I can understand (and then help explain) a complicated topic. That’s why I appreciate conversations with Jeffrey Botteron. Time spent with him is always a master class in how to develop talent pipelines. I’m enjoying his thought-provoking insights in the TechBuffalo newsletter. Another good edition this week.

The 29-year-old me probably wouldn’t have sat near the front of the class. Wouldn’t have willingly raised his hand to contribute to group discussions. Wouldn’t have been eager to take part in a leadership development program with a room largely filled with strangers. But now, at the wise old age of 32, I’ve never felt more grateful for where I’m at in the present and confident about where my career is headed in the future. Grateful for the Buffalo Niagara Partnership's new Grow program (as well as the Connolly Studios crew Brian and Danielle for their constant and uplifting support) for providing this opportunity for those seeking to continue leveling up both professionally and personally.

My workday started on location with talented, passionate Buffalonians (and a big box of Butter Block, of course). Not behind a screen. And I'm heading into the weekend reinvigorated and inspired because of it ? Creating with Corey Desiderio and Brian Connolly. Collaborating with Tom Wiley, The Buffalo News, Aleron Group - Acara Solutions, Broadleaf Results, Lume Strategies, TalentRise, Viaduct, Uplifter Video and Mark Mulville. Celebrating this special city we all call home by investing time, energy and expertise into a thoughtful project looking to solve a problem for our community. Thank you Scott Stenclik, Peter Petrella and Tony Dvorak for giving us your morning –?and braving 10°F without a coat for the sake of the vision. I can't wait to bring it all together and share with our community. Stay tuned!

We are proud to have helped the Buffalo Niagara Partnership seize the excitement surrounding its 2024 Annual Report to Members. The new BNP @ the cobblestone, the event and the report itself gave us an opportunity to collaborate with the talented BNP team on everything from product development to event programming – plus, of course, telling the BNP's story. Thanks also to Pete Guelli and the Buffalo Sabres for making the event special.
There’s a vision for development of our home in the Cobblestone District. Sabres and Bills COO Pete Guelli and Buffalo Niagara Partnership President and CEO Dottie Gallagher spoke about their belief in a plan for downtown Buffalo → bufsabres.co/4eugsBL

Our passion is helping organizations seize their best opportunities to make big things happen. The Buffalo Niagara Partnership has an ambitious vision for its new headquarters in the Cobblestone District, and we've enjoyed teaming up to make it a reality. It's the latest of several exciting BNP growth initiatives we've been part of this year, and we are grateful for the opportunity to work together on such impactful projects.
BREAKING NEWS! ?? The Buffalo Niagara Partnership is moving to a new headquarters in the historic space at 79 Perry Street in Buffalo’s Cobblestone District. Located across from KeyBank Center (home of the Buffalo Sabres!), the space will serve as more than just offices — it will be a hub for networking and growth for BNP members. We are thrilled to be part of the Pegula Family’s vision for this dynamic neighborhood. More details will be shared at the Annual Report to Members on November 14. Stay tuned!

Thinking of my work with Connolly Studios on this one. How does social media fit into my overall business goals, and which platform is best suited to help me accomplish those goals? So far gone are the days when getting your business out there on every platform works. Especially if you are a small team with limited resources! Each one of our clients knows their top priority social platform. Is there room in your FY25 budget for some top level business development and a strategic honing in on how to make social media work for you? Book a consultation: https://lnkd.in/gkjxBHEf
Stop centering the algorithm, and start centering your people. ?? Questions like "how often should I post?" are exactly the kinds of questions billionaires in boardrooms love to see you spinning your wheels on. Why? ?? Because they keep you on the platform longer, which is how their shareholders make money. ? But when you align your content to your unique business goals and target audience, you can create an algorithm-proof strategy that brings measurable brand growth 100% of the time!? That's exactly what we teach you how to do, step-by-step, in our most popular workshop, F* The Algorithm! Join us in the next live workshop on 9/5 at 12pm PT! ?? https://lnkd.in/e6DQsGsG ? #socialmediamarketing #socialmediastrategy #businessgrowthstrategy #purposedriven #smallbusiness
