Katie And Joe On The Go

Today marks the anniversary of the world’s first National Park ?? — a moment that sparked a global movement to protect the planet’s most extraordinary places. But here in the US, the very lands we promised to preserve are now threatened. These parks, forests, and public lands belong to all of us — not corporations, not politicians, and not the highest bidder. They are the heart of this country’s natural heritage, and they deserve better. How You Can Help: * Contact your elected officials and demand they protect public lands. * Support organizations fighting for conservation and Indigenous land rights. * Visit your local parks — connect with these places and understand what’s at stake. * Share this message. The louder we get, the harder we are to ignore. Get loud. Speak up. Protect what cannot protect itself — and honor those who cared for this land long before it was called a park. Thank you to?IG: Madelyn_meanders?for providing footage from today’s protest at Rocky Mountain National Park. #NationalPark #NationalParks #happybirthdaynationalparks #usnationalparks #travelcouple #adventurecouple #nationalparkgeek #nationalparkroadtrip #exploremore #yellowstone

?? OUR PUBLIC LANDS ARE UNDER THREAT ?? Yesterday, thousands of public land employees, including around 1,000 National Park Service staff, were fired. Our parks are now more understaffed, overburdened, and vulnerable than ever. With fewer rangers on the ground, it’s vital that we do our part to protect these spaces. As part of our journey to visit all 63 U.S. National Parks, we’ve seen firsthand how critical park staff are—not just for maintenance and safety, but for preserving these incredible landscapes for future generations. National parks are more than just places to visit—they are living history, irreplaceable ecosystems, and sacred lands that deserve protection. While so much of what is happening is troublesome, don’t fall into a doom spiral. There are things each and every one of us as individuals can do to help. What you can do:?? Leave No Trace—pack out all trash, stay on trails, and respect wildlife. ?? Be patient & kind—remaining staff are doing their best under impossible conditions. ?? Respect the land—fewer rangers doesn’t mean no rules. ?? Take action—call your representatives and demand better funding for public lands. These parks belong to all of us, but they won’t stay that way if we don’t step up. If you love our public lands, share this to spread awareness! Let’s keep fighting for these places before it’s too late. #ProtectPublicLands #NationalParks #LeaveNoTrace #SaveOurParks #PublicLandsBelongToUs #VanLife #ExploreMore #nps #nationalparklover #nationalparkgeek

Can you always create a viral video? No. But you can set yourself up for success by recognizing opportunities and acting fast. Timing is everything. This past weekend was the annual Goldens in Golden festival, where thousands of Golden Retrievers (and their humans) gather in Golden, Colorado. We attended in 2024 and saw massive success with our content. So in 2025, we went in with a plan—one that paid off in a big way. The results speak for themselves: ?? Total Views: 15,069,577 ?? Total Likes: 1,870,820 ?? Total Shares: 555,532 ?? Total Saves: 77,983 ?? Total Comments: 11,391 Our content didn’t just take off—it went viral, reaching audiences around the world. It even landed on Martha Stewart, The TODAY Show, Fox, and many other news sites. And it didn’t happen in a quiet week—this weekend was one of the busiest on social media with the Super Bowl dominating the conversation. Yet, amidst all the buzz, our content still broke through in a big way. Heck, we even garnered more views than some Super Bowl commercials, and we did it all with absolutely no budget. This is what happens when preparation meets the right moment. Viral success isn’t just luck; it’s understanding what resonates, showing up, and executing quickly. This is exactly what Kathryn and I do at Katie And Joe On The Go and Global Adventure Media—we study social media trends, capture the right moments, and execute faster than I’ve seen in my 10+ years in advertising. If you’re looking for a production team that can run + gun with the best of them, we’d love to chat. [email protected] Did you catch any of our Goldens in Golden coverage? ???

#NewWork - This past week, we were back in NYC capturing the magic of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for Ram Trucks—our third year partnering on this iconic event! It was a wet one, with a full-on rainstorm, but that didn’t stop us. From setup on “Inflation Day” to the last float passing Macy’s flagship store, we planned, captured, and delivered everything Ram’s Marketing and Press Teams needed—turning it all around within hours. Real-time content creation is something we take a lot of pride in. Knowing that millions of Ram fans could experience the parade’s magic through the assets we created made all the late nights and early mornings worth it. This year, we delivered: ?? A classic recap video highlighting the setup and parade-day moments: https://lnkd.in/gj4u_kM4 ?? A TikTok video hopping on a trending format that has become the top video of the year in a matter of days: https://lnkd.in/gjRrhWVk ?? 25+ photos ready for social media and press use: https://lnkd.in/gVZtmXU3 A huge thank you to the teams at Ram Trucks and Razorfish for trusting us with such an important event. It’s always an honor to help bring this experience to life. And while the confetti has barely settled, we’re already looking forward to next year!

Another post about #TaylorSwift? You bet. At the start of the month, Kathryn and I flew to Indianapolis for Taylor Swift’s legendary Eras Tour. While the concert was a dream for Katie (I wasn’t able to get a ticket), what truly stood out was how Visit Indy transformed the weekend into a cultural phenomenon. From local businesses (Ash & Elm Cider Co., Sun King Brewery & Spirits, etc) to large organizations (JW Marriott, Lucas Oil Stadium, Bell Racing Helmets, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis Airport Authority, etc.), those who leaned into the Swiftie spirit didn’t just join the fun—they reaped the benefits. One of the highlights for us at Katie And Joe On The Go was partnering with the Indianapolis Zoo and #VisitIndy to promote their Swift-themed “Wildest Era” event. It was a brilliant example of how tourism organizations can creatively embrace a major cultural moment to drive engagement. This collaboration marked one of our first forays into more tourism-focused projects, and it was amazing to be part of something that brought so much joy to visitors. Here’s what the weekend taught us: ?? Be Adaptive: The businesses and organizations that seized the moment saw massive success, from increased foot traffic to strengthened customer connections. Those who didn’t? They missed out on a golden opportunity. ?? Leverage Cultural Moments: By tapping into a shared cultural passion, you’re not just selling a product—you’re creating an experience people want to be part of. ?? The Power of Collaboration: When cities and businesses align their efforts, the results are extraordinary. Indianapolis came together as a community to create a welcoming, memorable experience. On a personal note, I didn’t get to attend the concert itself, but we did make it to the front of the Taylor Nation Instagram account with our costumes, which was a highlight! Now, we’re looking ahead—if anyone has connections or tickets for Taylor Swift’s Vancouver shows, we’d love to chat. Even better, if a brand or tourism board wants to collaborate, we’d be thrilled to help capture the excitement of the Eras Tour and create unforgettable experiences. Let’s make it happen! This weekend reinforced our belief in the magic of shared experiences and the importance of leaning into creative opportunities. Thank you to the Indianapolis Tourism Board, local businesses, and the incredible Swifties for showing us how passion and strategy create magic. #TaylorSwift Jeff Robinson Indianapolis Downtown Inc.
