Posted on April 23, 2018April 24, 2018 by Cintia Miranda

A few months ago I was scrolling through Youtube and landed on a video by a Youtuber that I watch every so often. Her name is Zoe Sugg and she’s a popular United Kingdom-based beauty and fashion vlogger with over 12 million subscribers. She started her video with a friendly “hello, everybody!” much like most of her other videos, but soon after she launched into a passionate plea to her subscribers to celebrate her birthday by donating to a cause that was close to her heart.

Why You Shouldn’t Create a DIY Logo for Your Business

Posted on April 9, 2018 by Cintia Miranda

You’re 4 years old and riding in the backseat of your parents’ car. Much to your delight, they plan to stop and grab a quick bite to eat before they bring you to play with a friend. You glance up through the window as the car slows down and see golden arches. You know what those mean!

“McDonald’s!” you say. Whether it has been 20, 30, or 40 years since you were a small child, you probably still know exactly what those golden arches mean when you see them. Even when you were young, you were probably able to associate the symbol with a happy meal.

Why the Super Bowl Ads Were So Attention-Grabbing

Posted on February 13, 2018February 14, 2018 by Cintia Miranda

As I scrolled through Facebook prior to the Super Bowl, I noticed a common trend: a few of my friends mentioned they didn’t really care to watch the game and they were only tuning in so they could watch the commercials.

I don’t know about you, but the only time I’ve ever heard someone say they couldn’t wait to watch a commercial was during the Super Bowl. That got me thinking: what is it about these Super Bowl ads that are so popular? Other than being enjoyable to watch, these commercials also offer a valuable lesson for marketers. They can examine why the commercials that end up on the “best Super Bowl commercials” lists published by various news outlets after the Big Game end up there.

Why You Should Invest in Professional Development in 2018

Posted on February 2, 2018February 2, 2018 by Cintia Miranda

When was the last time you invested in training your employees? By investing, I don’t necessarily mean money. Maybe it requires time and effort, or simply diverting your attention from something that seems more important at the time. Investing in your employees may at first seem counterintuitive. If you train an employee or provide them with professional development opportunities and they take advantage of them, they may then leave your business to work somewhere else.

“When it comes to employee training, some small businesses are torn. They want their workers to be well equipped and productive, but they fear that these newly trained folks will desert them for higher-paying jobs at larger companies. That’s a narrow view, and a potentially dangerous one. Companies that fail to develop their employees could be doing damage not only to morale, but to the bottom line as well,” the Huffington Post reported in an article titled “Not Investing in Employee Training Is Risky Business.”

How the Facebook News Feed Change Will Affect Your Business

Posted on January 22, 2018 by Cintia Miranda

On Jan. 11, Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Facebook, announced a Facebook News Feed change that will affect anyone who uses the platform. The News Feed, a collection of posts, photos, and videos from a Facebook user’s friends, family, and the pages they follow, will go through a significant change over the next few months. Zuckerberg wrote to the Facebook community that this change is meant to help Facebook users have more meaningful social interactions. “The first changes you’ll see will be in News Feed, where you can expect to see more from your friends, family and groups,” Zuckerberg announced. “As we roll this out, you’ll see less public content like posts from businesses, brands, and media.”

This change means that marketers and business owners who depend on Facebook to advertise and promote their brand will need to make major adjustments to the way they approach posting to the popular social media platform.
