In honor of Women’s History Month, we are showcasing creative women we admire. First up is Maya Lin. At just 21 years old, she made history when her design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was chosen from over 1,400 entries. Minimalist yet profoundly moving, her work defied expectations—favoring quiet reflection over traditional monumentality. Today, the memorial welcomes over 5 million visitors each year, a testament to the lasting impact of her vision. ? Lin’s approach reminds us that there is strength in simplicity. By stripping away excess, you can create a powerful connection and tell a story that truly resonates. #womenshistorymonth #womenowned #creativeagency

It’s Halloween week—a perfect time to think about what really scares us. And what could be more terrifying than ... marketing? Believe it or not, many people who would easily walk through a haunted house or laugh off creepy noises in the night find routine marketing tasks downright bone-chilling. But since this is the season to face your fears, here are a few small ways to confront those marketing demons: ·??????Trick or Treat:?Ask a happy client for a testimonial or endorsement of your services. You won’t get the treat if you never knock on the door! ·??????Costume Check:?Review your professional bio to see if it’s up to date. Add what’s needed to make it reflect who you are today. Extra credit: Look closely at your photo—does it still look like you? If not, it may be time for a reshoot. ·??????Bobbing for Ideas:?Commit to creating a piece of thought leadership that will benefit your clients. Hold yourself accountable by promising someone you respect that it’ll be ready by a specific deadline. ·??????Friendly Ghost:?Reach out to a former client you enjoyed working with—just to check in. Ask about their current projects and interests. You never know, a simple touchpoint could lead to a new opportunity. ·??????Mirror, Mirror:?Ask a colleague to describe your personal brand and learn how others see your strengths. ·??????Take the (Haunted) Stage:?Apply to speak at an upcoming industry conference. Sharing your expertise is a powerful way to elevate your profile. ·??????Find a Coven: Become part of a group that piques your interest. It doesn’t have to be strictly professional—community involvement can lead to valuable connections. If you’re already a member of one, consider volunteering for a leadership role to boost your visibility. Try at least one of these ideas, and you might find that your marketing "monsters" are more treat than trick! Happy Halloween!

American University’s fundraising campaign, Change Can’t Wait, exceeded its goal of raising over $500 million, the largest campaign in the university’s history.

Working together with the marketing team, we developed a digital strategy that would be intuitive, accessible, and engaging. #webdesign #webstrategy #higheredmarketing #contentstrategy

Customized experiences have transformed consumer marketing, and professional services marketing won’t be far behind. Want proof? In Right Hat’s 2024 #topofmind survey of 100+ legal services buyers, 93% of responders said they’d give a law firm information about their location, industry, and legal and business issues in exchange for a customized website experience. Customization is more than putting someone’s name on a page. It’s considering what will most interest your audience and not asking them to waste time and energy on what doesn’t. Here are some ideas to help you take customization further. #TOMtips #legalbuyerinsight #legalmarketing #lawfirmmarketing
