Welcome to 2025

You're back from vacation, it's time to start the new year. But don't just dive in to work, take a few moments to set yourself up for success. Beyond simply planning, which you've likely already done a bunch of, here's some thoughts from our team to help as you ramp back up.

Start the New Year clean

Clear out inboxes, Slack notifications and everything else cluttering your workflows and project management systems. Get yourself focused on new work and remove any distractions and unnecessary alerts or docs in your way kick off the new year. Never be afraid to do a reset on the small things. Trust your larger project plans and personal organization systems. We assure you, anything important you miss will find you. Clean slates rule.

Sweep your calendar of non-essential meetings

A lot of us get pulled into too many meetings. It happens, totally normal at companies large and small. Start the year by going through Q1 and removing any non-essential meetings. See if there's any 1-offs that could be just an email or you could simply figure out the ask and close out. The cleaner your calendar, the more productive, revenue-generating work you'll actually get done.

Ship more things

Successful organizations consistently have a bias toward shipping. Teams that achieve the greatest impact operate with a high-agency mindset, where competent pros are empowered at all levels. Embrace an ethos of 'you can just do things' which means prioritizing action, and asking forgiveness rather than permission. Everyone will get far more real work complete this way.

Make sure your team is hype for 2025

Honestly, what's better than having colleagues and contractors excited about the year ahead? Teams that are feeling good about the mission win, and this is totally within your control to be a person setting the tone for 2025. It's easy to forget our job isn't just management, it's leadership, and positive vibes can come from all levels in the organization.

These are all easy wins when you start the year you can feel good about. Encourage your team to do the same and build momentum for new campaigns and ideas out the gate.

We're here to help make OOH easy, so that's one less stress or concern you can have next year - we guarantee it.
