Happy #InternationalWomensDay! As a #womanowned and operated business, we’re inspired everyday by the hard work of women. That said, there is so much that each of us bring to the table beyond the work we take pride in. Some of us are raising small humans and building families while others are fiercely independent. Some of us dive into tech while others float into creative works. But something we all have in common is our passion for supporting each other. Send the women you love a message today to let them know you’re thinking about them! ✨ 👩🏻‍💻 #choosetochallenge

Our beautiful client Janice is a talented artist who created this beautiful commemorative post. Posted @withregram • @station_lane_co MLK Day. His message of peace, equality, love and understanding is ever so relevant today in these incredibly challenging times as it was more than fifty years ago. "Every man lives in two realms: the internal and the external. The internal is that realm of spiritual ends expressed in art, literature, morals and religion. The external is that complex of devices, techniques, mechanisms, and instrumentalities by means of which we live."

Running social media accounts for a business is A LOT of work. Between creating content, community management, posting regularly and staying up to date with trends, it can be hard to know if you’re doing it all right. Fortunately, all major social media channels – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest – have analytics for business accounts. At our agency, we implement monthly monitoring reports for clients whose social media we manage. This way, we can sort through what type of content is working…and what isn’t. Social media is always changing, so having a record of month-over-month metrics is helpful when it comes to staying on trend, boosting engagement and learning as much as possible about our audiences. Do you keep an eye on your business’ analytics? If you want to learn more about how you can use social media analytics to boost sales and engagement, give @edenspodek, Spodek & Co.’s CEO and founder, a call! She’d love to learn about you and your biz. Link in bio! 💫👩🏻‍💻

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian friends! The @spodekandco team is spending our long weekend a little differently (as are most) this year.

A solid #digitalmarketing strategy is an essential pillar of every business. And if you’re working with an agency that isn’t measuring your results—or if your internal teams aren’t doing so—it’s time to make a change.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Analyzing statistics might sound overwhelming, but our team loves swimming through the data points across social media, email marketing, google and so on. It’s there that we find all the ways we can optimize our clients current strategies – and that’s where you’ll largely find that data too!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Customers are savvier than ever and expect top-notch brand interaction. There are millions of businesses active on Instagram and Facebook combined, and consumers are engaged. ⁣⁣ ⁣ If we can recommend a place to start, it would be to really nail down what metrics are most important to you and your brand. And then dive in! In a matter of only a couple of months, you’ll have a really clear visual of what is working…and what isn’t.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What data points are most important to you? Were they clear? Did customers/clients bring them to your attention? We want to know!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ P.S. If you want to learn more about how you can fine tune your social media marketing strategy with data, visit the link in our bio. 💫👩🏻‍💻

We’re all being CALLED TO ACTION. ⁣ ⁣ This is only the beginning of the world’s LARGEST #civilrightsmovement in history and many of us have (TONNES of) catching up to do – ourselves included. Let’s keep #listening, #learning, #unpacking and of course, KEEP #DONATING. ⁣ ⁣ Raising funds and donating is one of the simplest ways we can #support and #AmplifyBlackVoices in our communities and around the world. ⁣ ⁣ We’re matching funds up to $500 for all donations made to two local initiatives: Black Women in Motion and Black Youth Helpline. Let us tell you a bit about them.⁣ ⁣ @blackwomeninmotion⁣ ⁣ “Black Women in Motion is a Toronto-based, youth-led organization that empowers and supports the advancement of black womxn and survivors of sexual violence. We work within an anti-racist, intersectional feminist, trauma-informed and survivor-centred framework to create culturally-relevant content, educational tools, healing spaces and economic opportunities for black womxn.” Link in bio. ⁣ ⁣ @blackyouthhelpline⁣ ⁣ “In Ontario, Black Youth Helpline (BYH) has been grounded in a spirit of service to others. The key lesson learned from our experience is that a focus on “primary prevention” is needed in order to help youth grow into productive adults. Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs. This is the Mission of the Black Youth Helpline! It is in this spirit of purpose and a passionate commitment to community wellbeing that our organization has thrived into a National Helpline for Canadian Youth and families.” Link in bio. ⁣ ⁣ We’re going to keep putting the work in to learn in grow, but we should also be putting our money where our mouth is. Send us your #donation receipts by Friday, June 12 and let’s keep this change in motion.

The @spodekandco team has spent a lot of time last week discussing the heaviness we’ve been feeling collectively, what our privilege means and what necessary actions we need to take both personally and professionally to show members of the Black Community that we are committed to them.⁣ ⁣ Our discussions have encouraged us to watch, listen, read, share, speak, donate, educate ourselves and others, and more as we learn along the way. We are committed as individuals and as a business to show the Black Community our continual support by paying attention, taking direction and leading by example as the mission for equality continues.⁣ ⁣ Now is a time for action. We’re calling other #torontosmallbusinesses to do the same by joining @spodekandco in supporting two organizations in the community that are making a difference for Black women and youth. ⁣@blackwomeninmotion & @blackyouthhelpline⁣ ⁣ Between now and June 12, @spodekandco is going to match donations up to a maximum total of $500 to these two charities. We challenge other Toronto-based small businesses to donate to one or both of them and we'll match their donation. All you need to do is send us your receipt by 5 p.m. this Friday.⁣ ⁣ We would be honored for you to join us in action in taking these small steps to affirm our commitment and community support.⁣ ⁣ There is no change where there is no action. Links in bio to #donate now.

Many of us are learning about the increasing importance of personal protective equipment (PPE) for frontline workers in fighting #COVID19. For our client, Colorado Safety Supply Company, extensive knowledge and distribution of PPE is their business! Late April, we helped Colorado Safety Supply Company launch a brand-new website dedicated to PPE sales, helping get it into the hands of the businesses and individuals who need it most. What’s even more impressive is the business’ commitment to giving back during this time of uncertainty through community partnerships in support of vulnerable populations. 👩🏻‍💻💫

👀Does your brand have an archetype? 👀 As much as a brand isn’t a sentient being (though some brand-fans might argue that fact!), a brand that represents an archetype that individuals are drawn to personally has a higher chance of snagging that person as a #loyal customer. Here are a few brand archetypes based on psychologist Carl Jung’s theory. • The Sage: A sage brings wisdom, they teach, and they are truthful and trustworthy. Think @nationalgeographic or @BBCnews. • The Caregiver: Warm, safe, comforting, helpful, parental, emotionally driven. Think @pamperscanada, @dove, or @disney. • The Revolutionary: One of the most successful brand archetypes – the bad-boy rebel! Harley-Davidson immediately springs to mind, as does #JackDaniels, @vans or @rimmellondoncan. • The Creator: Artistic, creative, boundary-breaking and trend-setting. Of course, @apple is probably one of the most iconic of the Creator archetype, but @lego, @sony – even @netflix – all work. • The Everyman: Joe Public. Relatable, down to earth, everyone welcome. Beer companies tend to nail this archetype, as do fast food places. Think @coorslight, @mcdonalds, the @gap, or @levis. Interested in learning more? Check out the link in our bio! 💫👩🏻‍💻
