YAP Media

The secret to building a winning team… Look for potential over experience. 🙌🏼 I started YAP Media with a few volunteers, I took a chance on passionate people who just needed someone to believe in them. And now? We’ve grown into a thriving company of 40+ rockstars! 💥 Here’s the truth: Potential is a superpower. ✅ It’s the intern with big ideas. ✅ The junior teammate who’s willing to learn anything. ✅ The person who just needs a chance to shine. To everyone out there giving someone their first big break: Keep it up 🚀 Let’s celebrate everyone who takes a chance on potential! 💫

Skills can be taught… Attitude can’t. What’s more important when it comes to hiring?

Team connection is ESSENTIAL to success. Especially at a remote international company. Without it: 👉🏼 People don’t feel seen 👉🏼 Collaboration slows down 👉🏼 Company culture fades away My favorite way of bringing everyone together is through our company-wide meetings, Like our annual Holiday Party this week 🎄 They are a simple and effective way to: ✅ Keep the team engaged ✅ Share company updates and initiatives ✅ Appreciate everyone’s hard work in public Here’s how we do them at YAP: 📸 Everyone’s on cam (the only internal meeting we have like this!) 🤝 Include interactive games that promotes team recognition 🗣️ Open and anonymous Q&A at the end of the call for any burning questions A connected team isn’t just happier… They’re stronger, more engaged, and ready to thrive together. Agree?

Each mode of communication is best for different situations. 📧 What’s your preferred one? 

My #️⃣1️⃣ prediction for LinkedIn in 2025: Video content will be KING 👑 All year long LinkedIn has been hinting at this: 👉🏼 Creating their mobile video feed 👉🏼 The summer surge in video views 👉🏼 More video creators joining the platform Videos have already taken over platforms like TikTok and Instagram... And it’s natural that LinkedIn would be next.
