We’re starting to look at the last quarter of the year, well aware that it won’t be long before the holidays are upon us, and with that, a new giving season. If you’re not already on our schedule for an EOY giving campaign, please reach out — we’ll be closing our books to new direct mail projects after Friday, September 18!

We are so, so privileged to work with incredible nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. We also know how critical funding is to carrying out the missions that enable these organizations to serve as the backbone of our society. While every day is a day to recognize and emphasize the work these organizations do, it never hurts to have an extra special day to raise awareness and funds.

Cheers to all the amazing organizations who are doing their part to make this world a better place.

You’re scrolling through your Instagram feed and come across a reel that gives you a good chuckle. You start to forward it to a friend and then you notice its likes: 1.1 million?!?! As you keep scrolling, you see the reel repeated in various formats and with different users. Your wheels start spinning - would your organization be able to pull this off? Would it grab the same attention? Could it be just what you need to reach that next level?

Before you gather your colleagues and say “Lights, camera, action!” take a few things into consideration.

Here are a few things to take into consideration when it comes to social media trends.

A much-needed summer vacation was exactly what we needed to ramp up for a new school year, fall events, and end-of-year-giving activities. We’re feeling extra refreshed, energized, and ready to get back into it!

When you combine authenticity with transparency, you get truth.

At Sunny Side Creative, that means being honest about our strengths, our challenges, our goals, and our priorities. We believe candid conversations, always rooted in respect, create stronger relationships and better work products.

The truth is, we're passionate about helping our clients succeed. We're also passionate about being present for our families. We don't believe those two things are in competition. In fact, we believe the balance makes us better partners, better collaborators, and better people.

Trust isn't built by pretending to have it all figured out. It's built through honesty, transparency, and showing up for one another every step of the way.

Oh hey ! We see you and your nearly 4,000 emoji options that are used on a daily basis! For nonprofits who are wondering when to use emojis in the workplace, we’ve got just the blog for you.

Some people are fans of emojis, finding them to be a shorthand for emotions, while others find them unprofessional and silly. So: emojis for nonprofits — yay or nay?

We so appreciate when partners like Chesapeake Stormwater Network trust us to execute their vision beautifully and functionally!

As AI becomes a bigger part of the creative process, one design trend is moving in the opposite direction: embracing the reality of being human.

Hand-drawn details, organic textures, candid imagery, and thoughtful imperfections remind us that great design isn't just something people see, it's something they feel. Instead of being considered a flaw, they're reminders that creativity isn't just about perfection, it's about connection. And in a world where AI can generate almost anything, authenticity may become a designer's greatest asset.

We’re all for embracing new tech — but when it comes to making something that speaks to people, Elisa will always lean on her individual creativity.

Well, hey there summer!

We’ll be taking an extended vacation beginning July 27 and ending August 7. If you’ve got something that needs to be done before then, make sure you get in touch with us ASAP!
