It's 9/9 and yes she's defrosting....

And yes I did pick up a pumpkin last week - I'm currently living in that HallowGivingMaskah content creation bubble that happens every September 1st.

If you are a product based business the foundations for your holiday marketing campaigns start now- in mid September.

I have 2 one on one holiday consulting, creative direction & creation slots available if you're ready to begin and I'm contributing to some group think sessions in October, before Halloween.

Because we all know in the imagined land of social media, when the clock strikes midnight on All Hallows Eve, Mariah is defrosted and feeds go straight to all things Christmas. 🙃

Message me for details 🎃 🦃 🎄 🕯️

There's very few people I trust when it comes to cybersecurity for mine and all my clients data.

There's even fewer people I trust to tell me about how to make AI work in my biz and life.

And well I never imagined these two things would intersect.
NOCO there's still room for the Smarter Business AI Lunch and Learn next week hosted by IT Colorado.

Because IMO a cybersecurity company teaching you about protecting all the personal s**t you're putting into chat is better than some rando who's just implemented AI and thinks they know it all.

See ya there?

Orange You Glad you're on social right now? 🧡

The recent TS announcements and countdowns created a perfect case study in on point social media trendz marketing.

The brands that successfully leveraged the sparkly orange aesthetic weren't just jumping on a trend—they found authentic ways to connect it to their brand story.

What impressed me most: the social media managers who had orange content live within hours, seamlessly tying it back to their brand's core message.

This kind of real-time jump on a trend marketing requires:
✓ A team that understands cultural moments (Shoutout to the Swifties on social teams!)
✓ Pre-approved creative freedom/processes, AND TRUST
✓ Brand guidelines flexible enough for rapid response
✓ Team members who genuinely connect with key audiences

The posts I loved didn't just go orange—they made orange feel native to their brand experience. When everyone forgets the color orange even existed.

The getaway car: effective trend marketing happens when brands have team members who are genuinely part of the communities they're trying to reach.

You can't fake being a Swiftie at 6 AM when those teasers drop & staying up until midnight to see what they are all about.

Don't worry social media heroes, you won't die alone. I see you. 🫶

Who's excited for the new album?

Went to training camp.

Obviously there was a bunch of SWAG available.

Here's the useful stuff I grabbed from their tents.

And taking this opportunity to...

Check in with you biz owner friends and remind you that if you’re ordering swag in Q4, your logo and biz name deserves useful stuff to be remembered.

The marketing rule of the 1900's was that someone needed to hear or see something 7 times before they remembered your business and made a purchase.

Today with our shortened attention spans it's 14!

So....

In a world of stickers, pens, hats & Yeti cup swag- put your logo on a credit card sized ice scrapper.

Or…

You know something people will use not toss in a junk drawer, the landfill or donate to the thrift store when they get home that will eventually go into a landfill from weeks on the shelf. 🙃

Useful swag will help you get to 14 faster because they will be touching, seeing and using the thing with your logo.

These three giveaways will get plenty of use from me- props friends props. 👏👏

Go Pack Go.

I am currently dealing with some personal stuff and am lucky enough to have business owner friends who will guest blog in circumstances like this and help me stay relevant in the algorithm. 🫠

And well AI is a tool that I have been struggling to find my relationship with lately but my friend and fellow digital marketing professional Jennifer Andrews volunteered to step up and chat about how to recognize your value in the age of AI.

I’ll let Jennifer of PFC Creative take it from here.

This is an ACTUAL genius marketing move by the Astronomer team, featuring “temporary spokesperson” Gwyneth Paltrow—the ex-wife of Coldplay’s Chris Martin.

And the speed they did this WHILE navigating an unprecedented crisis/scandal. Amazing.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and I’m so impressed.

Bravo, marketing team.

👏 👏 👏

(They know it’s going to be shared a zillion times and earn them a ton of brand affinity for turning something terrible into something fun. I’m here for it.)

We’re so pleased that so many of you have a newfound interest in data orchestration. Learn more at https://www.astronomer.io/

TikTok may behave very differently moving forward: rumor is TikTok is building a new version of its app for users in the U.S.

Sources told The Information that the company has developed a plan to launch the new TikTok app, known internally as “M2,” to U.S. app stores on September 5 — ahead of a planned sale to a group of investors.

TikTok users will eventually have to download the new app to be able to continue using the service, although the existing app will work until March 2026.

The investors involved in the deal have reportedly been finalizing the legal and financial details with ByteDance, and the group expects it will be announced when the Chinese government approves the sale — though there's no timeline for that.

It’s unclear how — or if — the TikTok algorithm would change in this process. Any disruption to the FYP (For You Page) recommendation engine could have major ripple effects across the platform, potentially shaking advertiser confidence, shifting where creators focus their efforts, and altering the user experience.

For now, we wait and see 👀
