At SLTC, Pride isn’t performative, it’s part of our people, our work, and our values. 🌈

We’re proud to be a team that includes LGBTQIA+ creatives, strategists, and marketers, each bringing their full selves to the work they do, and to the brands they help grow.

This month, we’re celebrating Pride by sharing the stories of some of our own. These are the voices behind the work, the passion behind our purpose, and the kind of community we strive to build every day.

And while we’re spotlighting our team, we’re also cheering on the brands doing the work, like our friends at Serve Labs, a skincare brand built with pride at its core.
Here’s to showing up fully, building inclusively, and doing the work year-round. 🌈

May is AAPI Heritage Month, a time to honor the voices, stories, and leadership shaping our world and our work.

We’re proud to be an agency shaped by diverse perspectives. Our founder and CEO, Sharon Lee Thony, is a second-generation Chinese American and a champion for representation in leadership. On May 14, she’ll speak on the “Identity Isn’t an Equation” panel hosted by Chief, alongside fellow Asian-American leaders including Lisa Angulo Reid of Dear Flor.

But Sharon’s not alone — our team reflects a beautiful range of Asian and Pacific Islander identities, from Korea, China, India, Vietnam, and Samoa. And we’re honored to support clients who carry their heritage into the heart of their brands.

Representation matters — in leadership, in marketing, and in the stories we help tell. This month and always, we celebrate the rich cultural identities that shape who we are and the work we do.

AI x Shopify: A Game-Changer for E-Commerce Brands

What happens when ChatGPT becomes a shopping channel, not just a tool?

Shopify and OpenAI are testing a new integration that enables in-chat purchases. That means customers could soon discover and buy your product—without ever visiting your site.

For brands using Shopify, this is a massive opportunity. But visibility won’t be automatic. Structured product data, smart SEO, and CRO-focused UX will determine who shows up and sells.

At SLTC, we’re helping our clients stay ahead of the shift.
