It’s #InternationalWomensDay! Today, we are reminded to reflect on and celebrate the strides we’ve made as women on our mission for equality. Together we can continue our work to #BreakTheBias by calling out acts of discrimination and inequality when we see them. In the words of Ruth Bader Ginsburg: “I don’t say women’s rights—I say the constitutional principle of the equal citizenship stature of men and women.” Reach out to the special women in your life today.

Who are you creating your content for? 🤔 Your followers or your audience? Because those are two very different audiences. Let us explain. ⬇️ You could have 1,000 followers, but only 10 people looking at your content. THOSE are the people you need to be creating your content for. Why are THEY engaging with you? What excites THEM? If you can figure that out, you’re already winning. So why create content for 10 people instead of everyone? Because those ten people are your audience. And when you look after them, you foster a community. Those 10 people are the ones who will have the biggest impact on the content you create. Need support finding your audience for #2022?

🎥 The Future of Video 🎥 Have you started planning your video content for 2022? If there’s one thing we know for sure heading into 2022 – it’s best to keep it short and sweet. After the launch of bite-sized content across most social platforms, users (and apps) are favouring shorter video content. Attention spans are getting shorter, which means that brands need to become more efficient at telling short and engaging stories. Our advice? 🎥 Focus on one idea at a time 🎥 Use high-quality video 🎥 Add captions 🎥 Include popular “sounds” and “music” Need more industry insight? Reach out to our team to see how we can help with your strategic planning for 2022.

🦃 Thanksgiving 🍂 We hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend as we celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada. Today we’re reflecting on all that we are thankful for--gathering with family and friends to share a special meal and enjoy the fall colours. With this in mind, we recognize that this holiday is a piece of Canada’s history that has greatly impacted Indigenous peoples.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. After careful consideration, @spodekandco will be closed. Staying true to our values we feel that it’s imperative to acknowledge the importance of this day. Our team members will be involved in meaningful activities and, earlier this year, we made donations to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society, the Native Women’s Association of Canada and the @downiewenjack Fund. We’d also like to recognize the growing number of mass unmarked graves that are being uncovered across Canada. This is a part of our country’s history and it is vital that we take ownership for the loss of these Indigenous children as a nation. Here are a few accounts we recommend you follow for education and inspiration: @_anishinaabekwe @inuktitut_ilinniaqta @firstnationphotographer @notoriouscree @asha.frost
