Hey Reader,
If you're a modern human being, you've probably had to work in groups.
School, sports, work, you name it.
Ever noticed how the message, although expressed clear, doesn't land?And especially during the pandemic, when so much communication moved online, it became clear how often we talk past each other?
One person takes over. Another shuts down.
Misunderstandings build.
Things stall.
Most of the time, it's not about effort or intent.
It's about people speaking different “languages” without realizing it.
That’s what DISC helps with.
On Thursday, June 26 at 7 PM EST, leadership coach Phil Tasci is joining us to break down the DISC Personality Dimensions.
It's a tool that helps you understand how people work, communicate, and make decisions.
If you manage a team, work with clients, or just want fewer miscommunications, this is worth your hour.
In this webinar, Emily Gama, content strategist and creator marketing expert speaks on the shift from polished brand-first advertising to authentic, creator-led storytelling.

🔹 The Role of Creators: How influencers today act as co-authors, not just endorsers
🔹 Brand Behavior on Social: Why it's no longer enough to just show up; you must participate authentically
🔹 Data-Driven Creativity: How to blend emotional storytelling with performance insights
The Keys to Successful Creator-Led Content Strategy:

❌ One-Off Partnerships: The missed opportunity in not investing in long-term creator relationships
❌ Forgetting the Hook: Why the first 3 seconds of a video are make-or-break
❌ Prioritizing Design Over Impact: Why thumb-stopping visuals often beat polished branding
✅ Building with UGC: How to involve your fans through co-creation, reviews, and remixes
✅ Making Data Emotional: Turning stats into stories that resonate (think: Spotify Wrapped)
✅ Respecting Creator Expertise: Letting creators lead creative concepts in their own voice
🎯 Bonus Insights:
🔸 The Difference Between Awareness & Conversions: When and how to use influencer marketing
🔸 Micro-Influencers & Local Reach: Why “small” creators can yield big ROI
🔸 Platforms That Help: Tools like Meltwater, Sprout Social, and TikTok Creative Center
Live Q&A Topics Answered:
❓ When should a brand use creator marketing?
❓ Do lo-fi, chaotic, or “brain rot” aesthetics work across all demographics?
❓ How do you find and vet the right influencers—especially in Canada or niche markets?
❓ What kind of content works for older demographics like Boomers?
❓ Are sponsored events worth it if they’re mostly logos and banners?
On another note, I started a daily (almost) newsletter on LinkedIn. I've been blogging for more than 15 years (yeah, I know) - it's therapeutic and I think there should be a make blogging great again campaign. The world would be a better place. Anyways, here's the link to Em's Logs.
Not a big country music fan - was not in my culture. I tried to adopt it once I came to N. America and I definitely understand where its coming from. I respect some artists in the genre. Like Shane Smith & The Saints and their Book of Joe and this live version tells it all. Passion, melody - has everything. I've probably heard it in Yellowstone - but can't confirm; I Shazam songs and listen to them at a later date. Do you do the same?
I was not able to see these yes - at the time when this is sent. The majority of the accounts I have access to are from Canada but for those few in the US, nothing stood out. But soon, it's going to be the default. Have you seen anything in these GSC reports? Do hit reply and lmk.
The first entry from my new daily LinkedIn newsletter is a quote from a podcast where Seth Godin shared some great insights on work, business, entrepreneurship, freelancing and... happiness. Since I admire Seth, I copied him. Let's see how this works out ;) The link to the podcast episode is shared inside the blog post.
SEO is changing - at an accelerated rate. I recommend myself as an SEO consultant - and I do love SEO; but digital marketing is more accurate and it's naive to think that SEO is what you know. There will always be SEO - just not a performance channel, as Kevin Indig explains in this editorial worth reading. It includes data to back everything up.
