If you’re managing a brand’s social media, you’ve probably asked yourself (or been asked): “Should we spend more time crafting content, or actually talking to our audience?” It’s a valid (and common) question. Because while content and engagement both matter, the way you balance your time can dramatically shift your results. Let’s talk about it.
Picture this: You need to grab a few groceries after work cuz your stummy is grumbling. So you head into the grocery store, but the bread is next to the shampoo, the oat milk is hanging out with the maple baked beans, and there is one massive checkout line with no cashier. That’s what a bad user experience feels like on a website: disorganized, irritating, and practically begging visitors to visit their competitor’s site.
You’ve got a marketing budget and a pile of things to do, a long task list that would keep any marketer busy throughout their workday. The uncomfortable truth? You're probably making the same mistake as most of the organizations we initiate work with - they spend their budget instead of investing it.
An annual report can be so much more than thirty pages crammed with financials. When approached with an eye for storytelling, an annual report can transform into an asset to any organization.
Marketing today, data is everything. Or at least, it should be, but often we’re seeing organizations trapping valuable data in silos. Marketing teams sit on a goldmine of customer insights, campaign performance metrics, and behavioural data, but often that data is scattered across disconnected tools, platforms, and departments. The result? Missed opportunities, inefficiencies, and campaigns that fall flat.
In the fast-paced world of marketing, it’s easy for internal teams to get lost in the daily grind. The task list grows, emails pile up, and before you know it, marketing efforts become more about keeping up than moving forward. Without a formal marketing and communications strategy, the bigger picture blurs, metrics get deprioritized, and efforts become misaligned. A roadmap isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s the difference between a team that’s simply busy and a team that’s driving real result...
Social media isn’t what it used to be. In today’s digital landscape, where every brand is clamouring for attention, the numbers (and behaviours) are telling a new story from what we’ve been used to in the past.
Checkout is where most eCommerce stores lose. Cart abandonment sits around 70%, meaning most shoppers quit before they pay. It's time to make the checkout feel less like a transaction and more like a game. Gamification isn’t just for apps, it’s a conversion powerhouse that nudges customers toward completing their purchase, spending more, and turn them into repeat buyers.
In response to widespread Canada Post service disruptions that affected year-end charitable giving, the Government of Canada has extended 2024 charitable donation deadline. This means donors now have until February 28, 2025, to make tax-deductible charitable gifts for the 2024 tax year.
Consumers are bombarded with posts, emails, text messages, and ads every day. How do you make sure your message cuts through the noise? By focusing on clarity. Clarity in visual design, messaging, and branding isn’t just about looking polished—it’s about making it easy for people to choose you. Let’s focus on two brands that have nailed this: Apple and SkipTheDishes.
Two agencies. One vision. Creativity and technology, combined to accelerate growth.
