What a beautiful day we had this past Saturday at the Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego Walkabout at SeaWorld San Diego event!

To everyone who joined our fundraising team and walked with us—not only did we come together for an incredible cause, but we also got to enjoy the exhibits and see some amazing animals along the way. It was the perfect blend of purpose and fun!

Every step we took brings us closer to supporting the life-saving work at Rady Children's Hospital. We're so grateful to be part of a community that shows up for kids and families when they need it most. Thank you for making a difference! 💙

Is Meta’s AI Making Ads Better or Just Taking Control?

Advantage+ creative tools promise efficiency: auto-adjusted images, rewritten headlines, even added music. But when the platform takes the creative wheel, it’s worth asking — whose goals is it really optimizing for?

In our latest blog, we explore how automation can streamline ex*****on — and where it might steer your brand off-course if you’re not paying attention.

🙏 Recently the Ark Marketing crew traded our desks for paddle boards and Zoom calls for boat decks. ⛵Sometimes the best meetings happen with sand between your toes. 🌊 So grateful for this incredible team and San Diego's gorgeous weather! We took some time to connect and recharge with a beautiful beach day filled with lunch, paddle boarding, and boat rides. These moments together remind us why we love what we do and who we do it with.

This past week our President Audrey Patterson had the opportunity to participate in a powerful workshop on Ho’oponopono, the traditional Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.

While it may seem far from the typical tools of business, Ho’oponopono offers a meaningful reminder of the importance of accountability, empathy, and emotional clarity in both leadership and team dynamics. The practice centers around four simple but profound phrases: I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.

In a fast-paced professional world, it’s easy to overlook the human side of our work. This workshop encouraged deep reflection on how we take responsibility for our roles in communication, decision-making, and even conflict resolution.

Taking time to nurture emotional intelligence and cultural wisdom can be just as impactful as any strategic tool. Audrey was grateful for the chance to integrate these insights into my professional journey and share them with others.

Here is a picture of Audrey with one of her teachers, Nani, from the Cultural Center.

It's a great feeling to make a difference! Thanks to the Ark Marketing team as well as some of our dear colleagues for helping us reach two important giving goals. We surpassed our agency fundraising goal for the Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego's Light The Way campaign. And we also supported a local family in need with holiday gifts via Home Start, Inc.'s "Befriend a Family" program. A great way to end the year! 📣
