Hi everyone. It’s been a minute. Sorry for the longer than expected hiatus. My job last year got quite demanding during the summer months, and the hold I originally put on links to prioritize work lasted a bit longer than expected. Bad news is that I was laid off from my gig this past week due to the mass layoffs happening in the agency industry (HMU if you need a killer brand/content strategist on your team! 🤝) but good news is that I now have plenty of time for slinging more links every Friday and hopefully some additional stuff moving forward. Happy clicking!
