Have you signed up for the summer reading challenge i'm co-sponsoring with Empowered Path Occupational Therapy and The Crowded Bookshelf complete with a pizza pool party at the end of the challenge?

All Reads is a free adult reading program in Northern Colorado inspired by the Book It days we all loved as kids. (Who by the way just announced a few weeks ago that they are re-launching their reading program. I have a gift of being ahead of the trend if you haven't noticed by now.)

Register & Read 3 books between May 21 and August 13 and earn your spot at our end-of-summer pool pizza party!

I'm currently on book 2/3 of the challenge.

launch strategies can still be strategized with Harry Potter screen time to keep the toddler chief cuteness officer entertained until the strategy is ready for it's full reveal.

not every meeting needs an office, a coffee shop or zoom.

excited to launch this one- and grateful to all my clients who invite me into their world.

this is what starting and launching a business truly looks like- always a kitchen table.

Is social media marketing dead?😶‍🌫️

Let's explore that topic together March 12th at Founded In FOCO- make sure you save your seat. I got a feeling they will go fast.

OBSESSED!

I LOVE ad season I mean the SuperBowl....

I'm not a Pepsi gal but....

Pepsi and Coca Cola having beef again, is the world healing?

It’s never been *more* clear that the brands who will win this year are the ones who use AI wisely, or steer away from it completely when it comes to their marketing.

Pepsi using CGI and not AI what a throwback!

Pepsi’s Super Bowl LX spot, “The Choice,” directed by Academy Award®–winning filmmaker Taika Waititi, puts taste to the test as a cola‑loving polar bear take...

RIP to the casual after dinner disassociate social scroll.

Honestly, I’ve lost track of time because my office is also the news feed and the vibes are absolutely rancid.

I’ll be honest with you: my mental health isn’t doing the greatest right now.

And I have a sneaking suspicion I’m not alone in this.

A landmark social media addiction trial in which top tech executives are expected to testify begins on Tuesday in California.

So far Snap and Tik have settled.

To me it signals when they settle that something is 🐠

Defendants include Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, and YouTube parent Google.

They show the same commercials over and over and here you are afraid of repeating yourself on social media.

The more you repeat yourself the more people know what it is that you do.

The biggest marketing shift in 2026 won't involve AI. It's something much simpler: things that are unmistakably real, honest, and human. Below are some of my favorite examples from 2025 that reflect this concept.

Hulu used real apples in grocery stores to promote Abbott Elementary with stickers slapped on the classic teacher-gift trope

Ramp livestreamed Kevin from 'The Office' working inside a cubicle for 6 hours in the middle of NYC & put up physical flyers to promote the stunt

Canva staged a real billboard stunt, using humor to show when "make the logo bigger" goes a bit too far

Anthropologie started "selling" rocks in stores after a TikTok prank went organically viral

Call it the Analog Renaissance, call it guerrilla marketing but this 'era' can be called MANY things. This era IS many nuanced things at once. The crave for IRL, tangible experiences, and feeling human again.

The brands that win in 2026 will be the ones that understand that real attention is earned through real honesty.

And for that reason, I have hope for marketing this year.

Whatever you're going through when you read this know that even the social team at Netflix adds links in Insta captions that will never go to it's proper destination.

We're all doing our best.
