Shimek

In 13 years, it's safe to say we have learned a thing or two...

A few months ago, we reintroduced our founder and CEO Steven Shimek by sharing important moments that lead him to founding Shimek. This week, we are introducing you to Sarah Daniels through her preferred elder millennial method of communication. Memes. (The Marketing Millennials, the GOAT of memes, we love you). Sarah has a few confessions to make on how she gets through her day. They’re those little secrets we all keep, and we think you may have a few that you do as well. We listen and we don’t judge!

User-generated content: one of the most powerful ways for brands to awareness. It can get a little confusing with influencer marketing, but there's a clear difference. Check out this video to learn more!

Still unsure about influencer marketing? Influencer marketing isn't new, but its growth in the industry is. Since the pandemic, using influencers and user-generated content for marketing and advertising has skyrocketed. In fact, at the end of 2024, the influencer market size reached $24 billion. It can be easy to confuse influencer marketing with user-generated content. In the next post in our series, we're covering the ins and outs of influencer marketing and what to look for. And as always, we're here to help! Reach out if you have any questions or are curious about conducting your own influencer agency search.

We love seeing our clients out in the wild after matching them with an agency. Congratulations Unwilted for your feature on New York Time's Wirecutter. https://zurl.co/cviUu

It’s a big day for Shimek! We are taking our own advice about staying top of mind by marketing — ourselves.

Check out the latest Marketing Brew and see if you can spot a familiar name.

We've been busy the past 13 years...
