Pop quiz: how can you find your dream job / dream client? TLDR: positive vibe checks and no #twinning. I just went to a CreativeMornings at Wacom and was totally inspired by Britt Howard of Portland Garment Factory. She was spitting ideas like a soda, bubbling frothy and fun energy that was as effective as caffeine and sugar 🦄 . She mentioned how she really wanted to work with companies that were outside her echo chamber, as that's where the needle is going to move on issues close to her heart. And I loved that. Why? Because I think it's SO easy to stay with what's easy. What's comfortable. But true growth comes from being uncomfortable. Trying something new. Expanding your self-imposed boundaries. It's one of the reasons I adore working with multiple agencies* (intros below). Because I get exposed to different personalities, ways of working, industries, and skills. At 45, I'm am 100% still learning and it's why I'm not bored despite being a copywriter going on two decades now! Whether you're looking to work for a company or hire one, whether you're a solo or entrepreneur or working for a corporate behemoth, getting along is foundational. Do they pass this pop quiz: 1. passes your vibe check (comfort) 2. pushes your boundaries (discomfort)? But isn't that contrary? 🤔 How can you get both? Quick answer: don't hire a mirror. You don't want to work in or with an echo chamber. Take the job or hire the company based on how you can GROW. 🌿 So we're not twinning 👬 , we're learning. Pick a person or place that who compliments you. Someone who lifts you up. Whose strengths allow you to launch yourself to the next level. They can and should be better at some things than you. Let others shine. 🌟 It only makes you brighter. 🌟 --- These are the three Portland agencies I work with the most frequently: Murmur Creative - focused in the food 🍲 realm, they are the perfect combination of talented and effective, producing comprehensive branding that impacts. SBD Agency - with a lock on home 🏠 and design, they're creative and kind, crafting gorgeous visuals supported by strong content (ahem - that's me!) all the while being super relationship focused. Upswept Creative - self described online marketing 🤓 nerds, these people keep it real with authentic talk, well planned strategies, and consistent concrete output. They ALL pass the vibe check 🌈 . I *really* enjoy working with EACH of these agencies.

It's #GivingTuesday! Independent venues are local businesses, creative spaces, and community hubs, and at the National Independent Venue Foundation, we are working year-round to support them and their success.

Just as venues thrive with returning audiences, our work grows with your continued support. Add your name and help us build for the future!

Templated, customizable creatives for clients... Having a library of these available is a great way to cut down on design costs and turnaround times for your clients, versus custom design projects. Plus, it becomes a great way to brainstorm new promotions and events. #seniorlivingmarketing Senior Living SMART
