It’s remarkable how quickly companies were able to act in 2020 to radically and rapidly deploy solutions in the face of Covid. A valuable lesson for speed and agility when things return to ‘normal’. We helped several companies with their transformations this year.
...For many of these changes, respondents say, their companies acted 20 to 25 times faster than expected. In the case of remote working, respondents actually say their companies moved 40 times more quickly than they thought possible before the pandemic. Before then, respondents say it would have taken more than a year to implement the level of remote working that took place during the crisis. In actuality, it took an average of 11 days to implement a workable solution, and nearly all of the companies have stood up workable solutions within a few months....

We may be distracted, but the is still happening in the midst of the current craziness.

We have been honored to work with major non-profit agencies to produce campaigns to get out the count for the last several months.

My friend Kevin Ronan and his company Ronan and Ronan Productions also got into the act and produced these amazing videos for Catholic Charities NYC. They stress how important it is for us all to be counted, especially those in traditionally hard-to-count communities.

Glad that Dark City Digital had a teeny part by offering some guidance and graphic assets to his project so that the multimedia and offline pieces all became part of a cohesive visual campaign. Brilliant work Kevin and Manganelli Ronan

Now you all do your part and shape the future by responding to the Census!!!!!!

Our business model consists of a geographically dispersed team of experts with no presence in NYC and there is no co-location by team members. As a result, we have had no impact from the COVID-19 crisis that has affected other businesses and we continue to deliver to our clients without interruption. Fortunately organizational risk is extremely low, business continuity and seamless ex*****on is paramount for our clients.

Before and during this event, we have helped clients pivot and be creative using more digital platforms given the closures of physical locations and social distancing.

If there is anything that we can do to assist you in remotely scaling your team due to COVID-19 please reach me directly.

Our thoughts are with all of our neighbors, family, friends and clients.

There a great deal at stake for the city and we will be working with teams across the Archdiocese to create and provide tools that will help all of its cohorts reach for a complete census count

We will be creating a complete system with branding, editorial and visual design intended for web, social media, print and signage so that designated census champions are equipped to communicate clearly and effectively.

Please message me for details or if we can help your organization with critical branding or marketing needs.

How does this apply to your marketing? The chances are it does and I love talking to business leaders about what they’re doing and why the think it’s effective, or not, and why they believe either to be true.

“...Intellectual humility is simply “the recognition that the things you believe in might in fact be wrong,” as Mark Leary, a social and personality psychologist at Duke University, tells me.

But don’t confuse it with overall humility or bashfulness. It’s not about being a pushover; it’s not about lacking confidence, or self-esteem. The intellectually humble don’t cave every time their thoughts are challenged.

Instead, it’s a method of thinking. It’s about entertaining the possibility that you may be wrong and being open to learning from the experience of others. Intellectual humility is about being actively curious about your blind spots. One illustration is in the ideal of the scientific method, where a scientist actively works against her own hypothesis, attempting to rule out any other alternative explanations for a phenomenon before settling on a conclusion. It’s about asking: What am I missing here? “...

Why it’s so hard to see our own ignorance, and what to do about it.

Over 70 percent of people claim they wouldn’t buy from or use a poorly designed website. A bad website isn’t just not helping, it’s a dead weight tied around your business, alienating your users and holding your business back.

Considering that the first contact many users have with a business is via a website, it’s essential that it delivers a positive user experience.

It’s an investment that will drive revenue when done properly and purposefully. Reach out on how we can help you.
