Hot take 🔥You do NOT need to be on every social media platform. You don't have to create reels or do a dance on TikTok to have a successful marketing strategy.

You don't need to do it all. Just give yourself some grace and try to be:
👉Consistent and authentic
👉Clear in your messaging
👉Build a strategy on a platform where you can connect with your audience

You do not need to do it all - burnout is not a good marketing strategy.

This month's Wine Not Wednesday is going to be awesome! Hosted at Hawke Prohibition Distilleries and snacks sponsored by Pamela Stevens For Your Mortgage Solutions.

🍷Wine expert, Therese Sheen, will lead us through a brief wine tasting & education. Once we have our wine (or other favourite beverage) in hand, we're going to jump into a conversation with our guest, Erin Clemmer.

✨Erin has navigated it all - a partner's infidelity; a sick child; breast cancer; re-inventing her career - and she did it all at the same time. Her story is truly one of resilience and she is now using all of her energy to champion for an end to Cystic Fibrosis.

👉Following our conversation, we will conclude with some open mingling amongst friends and new connections.

No - it is not dead, but it is certainly no longer something you can rely on by itself. Organic social media still matters for trust, visibility, and community-building, but for most small businesses and non-profits, it ...
