Marketing looks different now. A bit weird, less produced but it works. The best ads come from great storytellers. 34M views 1.6M likes on TikTok and everyone is asking what product this is. 🤷♀️
People often ask me what if it feels like to be a female founder in tech, almost as if it’s a scary thing.
My answer: it’s a great time to be a female founder. Imagine being 2/20 in a room full of men — who’s going to stand out? You. Being different is your competitive

I hear this wayyyy too often from people in the creative industry. Custom solutions can end up costing too much time and money, and difficult to manage and maintain at scale. Customization isn’t always the way to go especially if you’re running a business. Your time is precious,

To be a winning brand, you need to be a content first business. Outsourcing works when you have a clear strategy of what you want to produce (articles, commercials etc.) but brands also need to be "always on". A team in-house allows you to react & produce content with speed.
With so many layoffs and budget cuts, do you think companies with content teams will cut costs by leaning more on freelance help as they cut in-house roles?
