January has been off to a crazy busy start between planning 4 spring events & launching a big campaign! It was nice to step away from the computer for a few hours last week and celebrate the reopening of the mercantile library downtown! Looking forward to hosting our own event here at the end of February. 😊 .cook1961

Alive! Wrapped 2024:

This year was fueled by caffeine, countless Canva designs, and a whole lot of creativity:

💻 Top Tool: ChatGPT (our brainstorming BFF)
📱 161,000 minutes scrolling Instagram for ‘inspiration’ (totally work-related, we promise)
🗓️12 coffee-fueled content calendar sessions

Here’s to another year of ideas, iced lattes, and all the behind-the-scenes hustle. Thanks for being part of the journey!

We were thrilled to play a small part in bringing City Gospel Mission’s “The ToyMaker’s Daughter” to life! This production has been a dream of director and writer Gordon Havens for years, and we were honored to support CGM in the final months by managing the venue and enhancing the guest experience. There’s nothing more uplifting than seeing 40 young girls shining with hope and joy. Grateful to have been part of this incredible production!

Did you know that City Gospel Mission provides a free ballet program for young girls? If you’re interested in supporting the program financially or by volunteering, comment below and I’ll reach out to you. 😊

Meet Claire!

Claire is our social media guru. She joined the Alive! team in January of 2024 as an intern and has since grown with the company. She finds it incredibly fulfilling to see events evolve from concept to reality, while also having the opportunity to get creative with social media content. Outside of work, Claire enjoys listening to true crime podcasts, doing Pilates workouts, and traveling to new places. 🎧🏋️‍♀️✈️

How's the business going? I get asked this all the time and never have the quick answer so here's a little update.

😇 As of this month we're up to 7 social media clients and 10 events in the next year! Everyday I am just struck by how grateful I am for so much growth of the business so quickly! Thank you to everyone for the referrals & references.

🤩 What keeps me afloat is that the business is no longer just me! For those who don't know, I have one amazing team member, Claire, as well as a fall intern. It's such a joy getting to work with other colleagues again!

😳 Sometimes growing so quickly is overwhelming! While I'm grateful for the growth, I'm entering a time of being more choosey about new clients in order to make sure I'm first providing the best possible service to my current clients & mindfully growing when new opportunities arise.

🤓 I'm looking to hire another team member early next year who will have a focus on events. I'm hoping to start them at 10-15 hours a week and have that position grow up with the business. If you know someone, let me know!

💛 Thank you, community, for the love and support of my little dream!

Nix the social media sales posts. Instead, focus on building a relationship with your audience through content that entertains, educates, and engages. When you do this, you’re not just selling a product or service—you’re selling your brand and the values it represents. And that’s a powerful way to turn followers into loyal customers.

In the world of social media, especially for small businesses, the focus is often on generating sales. However, if you're approaching social media as just another sales channel, you might be missing out on its true potential. The secret? Successful social media marketing isn't about pushing constant...
