  • Did you know we produce content for hotels? 🏨 One of our favorite projects was shooting the opening of the rooftop bar at @rwsanmiguel in Mexico. Hands down one of the best views in the city, their Luna Rooftop Tapas Bar overlooks #sanmigueldeallende and all of it’s colorful vibrancy. If you stay until dark you’ll get an insanely beautiful view of the moon (Luna). 🌛 And their menu?! Just as colorful and amazing as the city! Swipe through —> to check out some of our favorite photos from this shoot.

  • How many of you remember what the launch of Facebook looked like? or eBay? or Google? ➖ Often times our end goal looks very different from what we originally envisioned. We over stress about launching a perfect final product when we should be leaning in to that imperfect product. Doing that, you gain insight into what your customers really want. You can collect feedback from users quicker and learn about how to iterate a better version of your product. ➖ Look back at your first blog posts, photos, design work, product launches and compare them to your work now. What do you think? I’m going to say they probably look pretty different right? As they should. You’ve honed in on your craft, you’ve gotten feedback, you’ve learned what it takes to make a better, greater product. ➖ Loving these #marketingtips? We get more in depth in emails. So let’s be penpals and head on over to the link in our bio and sign up for our newsletters (we promise we’ll only send you the good stuff).

  • *STATS* // According to research, photos with faces perform 60% better than photos without 〰️ “Faces are powerful channels of non-verbal communication. We constantly monitor them for a variety of contexts, including emotions, identity and even attractiveness.” Says Dr. Bakhshi of Georgia Tech. 〰️ Visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text! Reason being is it’s much easier to tell a story by painting a picture for your audience versus having them read it. 〰️ Test it out. Our founder @adenizvillar did a 30 day challenge of posting only photos of her on her Instagram and the results were great. Her engagement grew by 2.0% which is a lot in 30 days. 〰️ No matter what your brand is, it’s important to incorporate content with faces because it’s much more relatable to your audience. It’s a way to humanize your brand 💁🏽‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️🙍🏾‍♀️🙎🏼‍♂️🙍🏼‍♀️🙎🏿‍♂️🙋🏼‍♀️

  • All work and no play keeps the creativity at bay. As entrepreneurs we often have trouble disconnecting. We convince ourselves that we can’t “get away.” That somehow we’ll lose business if we take time off for ourselves. I was like that for a long time. I’d work from morning until night, weekends, holidays. I’d miss time with family and friends and didn’t give any thought to rest. I became well acquainted with burnout. And I realized that taking a vacation was vital to my mental growth and to my business growth. You see, rest doesn’t inhibit our work performance, it enhances it. If we’re too tired and burned out, then we’re less inspired and creative. Vacations not only replenish us mentally but as a leader, your team needs to know you trust them while you’re gone; it builds up their confidence and shows that you feel comfortable leaving things in their hands. They also take your lead — and if you’re not taking any time off to rest, they may feel that they can’t either which inhibits their work performance for you. So what’s the lesson friends?

  • Instagram was a BIG idea but started off SMALL. Facebook was a BIG idea but started off SMALL. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Amazon was a BIG idea but started off SMALL. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ See where we're going with this? These successful companies started with a simple (small) solution to an everyday problem. With lots of time and trial and error they grew into what they are now. We often forget that these big successful companies started off with a tiny idea. Be patient with yourself. Stay consistent. And keep your eyes on your own desk.

  • Having an understanding of these stats will help you determine which platform is best to use when marketing to your target audience. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Millennials have been and continue to be the generation who use social media the most - plus they are the largest group that has access to smart phones (which also tells you that vertical content is really important when targeting them). And those Gen Xers, they’re more likely to use tablets when accessing their social platforms. Keep these stats in mind as you prepare for the rest of your Q3 campaigns and gear up for Q4
