We heard you wanted to see more from our annual Marketwake team retreat. Luckily, we got all the highlights on camera. Roll the tape! 🎥 #marketwake #growthmarketing #digitalmarketingagency #teamretreat #companyretreat #lakeretreat #creativerefresh

Every year our company takes time off to be together at our annual retreat. No work, no agenda, just time to play. I feel strongly that life is hard enough and it is rare that adults get time to let go and play, relax, and be treated without the weight of responsibility. Each year these retreats mean more to our team and culture. Yes, it is an investment, but one I would make over and over because of the impacts I've seen: 💛 Greater trust between team members. When we have the opportunity to see and know each other on a personal level, that one slack that seems harsh doesn't matter. We give each other the benefit of the doubt and choose trust more often. 💥 Faster and more efficient work. When you learn people's communication styles outside of the workspace, there is shared understanding and connection that leads to faster work and fewer misunderstandings. ✨ We serve our clients better. When our cups are full and the team is grounded, our clients see the benefit. We come back with renewed energy to bring what we experienced to our clients. To serve them, care for them, and win for them. The motivation is unbeatable. ▶ ◀ Greater collaboration, teamwork, and loyalty to each other. We work as a team, not as individuals. Agency life is hard and often wrought with politics and 'every man for himself' mentality. With so much time together outside of the office, we have built a culture where the team is FOR each other - they celebrate each other's wins in ways that still blow me away. 🏝 Memories that last a lifetime. I have no idea how long Marketwake will be a part of each person's story. But whether it is for a lifetime or a short season, what is it all worth if we aren't able to have a positive impact? We are in the legacy business, that doesn't happen behind our computers, it happens when we are making memories together. Memories that connect people who may never have been friends otherwise but now share something special. Tips if you want to do this as leadership: Make sure it's a judgment-free zone, you laugh a lot, be yourself, and create 'magic moments' for the team to experience together. It's all in the details.

Here at #Evlos we celebrated labor month in style with a friendly competition on the go-karting track. 🏎️🏁 We divided our team into two groups and were made to race against one another. It was an exciting day filled with adrenaline, laughter and team spirit! What a fantastic way to celebrate Labor Month!

Happy 1-year anniversary to me! Joining Life at Raw Selection was one of the best decisions I've made. Reflecting on the past year, I'm amazed at how much I've learned and grown. 😁 A huge thank you to Alice Chapman and Alex RAWlings their constant encouragement and support. I'm excited about what the future holds for our company. Lots of great things ahead! (Note to self: never wear hair rollers to work before an incentive... trying to crop some terrible pictures from this card!🤣) #digitalmarketing #leeds #marketing #excutivesearch

The news of Foxtrot's closure last week was devastating and my deepest empathy goes out to all those affected—to the employees, the brands, and all who partnered in bringing the retail concept to life, many of whom are my customers, peers, and friends. For me, personally, this has been the loss of a fellow pioneer. Since starting Pop Up Grocer in 2019, barely a day has gone by without the retailer coming up in conversation. Foxtrot was by our side in supporting emerging brands—often times, like us, serving as their very first shelf. Larger retailers have extremely high barriers to entry and independent stores have limited reach—these brands need somewhere of meaningful impact to go, quickly. And while their failure, for many, will simply help draw the conclusion that “small format”, “premium convenience,” and “emerging brand-first” doesn’t work. Or, as I’ve seen commentary here, “a lack of product/market fit,” I respectfully and sorely disagree. One must look closer. For us, I won’t pretend to be without challenges—the market has significantly changed since our start five years ago and this has impacted our brand partners as well as our own costs of doing business. But, we believe very much in the opportunity to serve these emerging brands and to provide a much-desired and unique experience for our customers—now, more than ever. If you are a brand looking for a shelf with high visibility, I hope you will reach out. And if you are interested in joining us in this pursuit—as an investor or other strategic partner—I would love to connect.
