The team of Christine Marcin, Katie Barry, Farnosh Sadler, and Andrew Stifel might not win on the scorecard, but you’ll struggle to find a group with more laughs, positive energy, and high fives. 🙌

🍩 Some days are sweeter than others - but sometimes a mid-week treat helps keep productivity flowing. There's nothing like starting the day with a fresh cup of coffee and delicious donut from our favorite bake shop.

Hope your day has a little extra joy (and maybe a treat, or two)!

📣 Important Alert: Critical WordPress Security Update Released

This new release patches critical vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access, execute malicious code, or potentially take control of an unpatched website. Unlike many WordPress updates that fix issues in optional plugins or require an attacker to already have some level of access, this patch fixes vulnerabilities in the WordPress core itself.

🔒 If you're one of our clients on a Digital Marketing Retainer or Technical Website Maintenance plan, your website is covered. If you aren't sure if your site has been updated - reach out - we're happy to help.

📊 A mid-year marketing check-in isn't just about measuring performance against KPIs. It's an opportunity to ask the bigger questions:
• Are our priorities still aligned with current business conditions?
• What's driving results - and what is not?
• Do we need to adjust our strategy to maximize impact in the second half of the year?

The most successful marketing teams don't wait to course correct. They review, refine, and reallocate based on what's happening now.

📈 Whether you need a new strategy or a clear, understandable assessment of current performance, our team can help you assess your marketing results and identify opportunities to maximize your ROI.

🔐 Website maintenance used to mean occasional updates and routine checks. For most sites, that has changed.

🛠️ We’re now seeing plugin updates release weekly - or even daily in some cases. That shift reflects a faster-moving security environment where vulnerabilities are discovered and patched much more quickly than before.

🤖 AI is accelerating both sides: faster detection of weaknesses and faster exploitation through automated bots scanning the web continuously.

What’s driving the change:
– WordPress powers 40%+ of the web, making it a constant target
– A large plugin ecosystem means uneven security and frequent patching
– Automated bot traffic that is constantly scanning for vulnerabilities
– Faster vulnerability discovery leads to faster exploit attempts and faster patch cycles.

A “set-it-and-forget-it” approach is no longer realistic – website maintenance is now continuous, necessary security work. If you need help with your website, contact our experts.
