In honor of Donut Day (yes, apparently that’s a thing), here are a few marketing “do-nots” 🍩

Do-not throw random posts online with no strategy.
Do-not rebrand every 6 months because you got bored.
Do-not make your logo so tiny nobody can read it.
Do-not write website copy that sounds like a corporate robot.
Do-not ignore follow-up.
Do-not assume people automatically understand what you do.
Do-not spend money on ads before your messaging is clear.

And for the love of all things glazed… do-not try to do literally everything yourself until you’re completely exhausted (go eat a donut and delegate already!).

Turns out marketing is a lot like donuts. The ingredients matter. Consistency matters. And if the foundation is bad… no amount of frosting fixes it.

Happy Donut Day 🍩

May marked one year for The BrandStory Connective. 🎉

Over fifteen years in marketing, communications, and executive support across nonprofits, schools, and small businesses has led me here. I've watched organizations struggle with the same things over and over. I've watched them waste money on marketing that didn't work. I watched leaders try to push through, tired and overwhelmed. That's why I started The BrandStory Connective- to help organizations step back, solidify their foundation, and create a structure that supports the work.

This past year I've adapted, grown, and even walked myself through my own process. A lot has changed, including my website. If you haven't visited recently, it's worth a look: thebrandstoryconnective.com

Thank you to everyone who has supported, referred, encouraged, and believed in this work. Year one is done. There's much more to come.

I think a lot of business owners are carrying four jobs at once:

CEO.
Operations manager.
Marketing department.
Emotional support system for everyone else.

At some point, everything starts living in your head all the time - the decisions, follow-up, planning, communication, loose ends, ex*****on. Constantly carrying that much becomes exhausting.

You don’t need another productivity hack. You need support.

If you're looking for better structure, clearer priorities, and someone trusted to help you organize what’s happening behind the scenes, we should talk. Through a strategic partnership, I can help you go from "I can't think" to "I have space to breathe again!"

You’re feeling stressed all the time. Something feels off, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is.

Nothing is really falling apart, but things aren’t running smoothly either.

A lot of times, it’s not one big issue. It’s small misalignments across your brand, your messaging, and your systems that start to add up.

I assess the gaps, identify what’s off, and bring order to the chaos. Together, we create clarity and steadiness so the overwhelm starts to lift.

If that’s where you are as a leader, I'd love to have a conversation.

Here’s a simple, practical tip. Write things down (even when you think you don’t have time).

Mental load is invisible, but it’s heavy. When everything lives in your head, it all starts to feel urgent and overwhelming.

Writing things down creates space. Seeing it in front of you reduces anxiety and helps you think more clearly.

Take a minute and write down what needs deciding, what’s stuck, and what’s weighing on you. Not to solve it all. Just to get it out.

That space is what changes how you think.

Guilty! This is something I've been working on for a while, but still struggle.

Anyone else?

Great for personal and business conversations.

We are all creators. It’s innate within us. Whether you’re creating art, design, a space, or dinner, you were meant to create.

For me, that creativity shows up in the work I do. Not just in design, but in how I think, how I shape ideas, and how I help bring something into form that didn’t exist before.

And it shows up outside of work as well- through photography, refinishing a piece of furniture, or finding new ways to display my plants.

What does creativity look like in your life?

Print still plays a role, especially in industries like construction.

At tradeshows and in the field, a brochure like this helps communicate the work, services, and credibility at a glance.

Studies show that 82% of people trust print ads more than digital.
