When we first started this monthly email series, we made a promise, that this newsletter would be about community, not sales. Yes, we occasionally include special offers or discounts to thank our audience, but that’s never the main focus.

We know how easy it is to feel overwhelmed by content, especially as the holidays approach. Everywhere we look, we’re being told to buy more, do more, and be more. As a marketing company, we’re not here to knock marketing itself (it’s literally what we do!) — but even we can admit, it can all start to feel like… a lot.

October is the perfect month for Vancouver businesses to get ahead on seasonal content and prep for November, December, and even New Year’s campaigns. Small, actionable steps now can make a big difference for visibility, engagement, and ultimately, conversions this holiday season.

Summer 2025 was a good one! Now it’s time to embrace September’s “after-summer reset,” with routines settling back in, calendars filling up, and that gorgeous Vancouver fall feeling giving us all the inspo we need to carry us through the rest of the year with energy and intention.

September is all about momentum: finding flow in your routines, making progress on your goals, and enjoying the process. From networking prep to refreshing your brand, we’ve got tips to help you show up feeling confident, prepared, and maybe even a little excited.

Can you believe we’re already in the final stretch of summer?

August kind of feels like the Sunday of the season, doesn’t it? There’s still sunshine to soak up and memories to make, but you can feel that gentle shift in the air. The pace begins to change, plans pick up again, and routines slowly return.

This is your friendly reminder to take it all in. Say yes to spontaneous plans, slow mornings, and golden-hour walks.

We kicked off the month with Canada Day, and it had me reflecting on how grateful I am to live and work in such a beautiful place. Vancouver truly shows off in the summer—there’s nowhere quite like it.

When you pause long enough to look up from your to-do list and take it all in—the ocean views, the mountain air, the creative communities that make this city shine—you’re reminded just how lucky we are.

So, your photoshoot is coming up! You’ve nailed your outfits, picked the perfect venue, and maybe even perfected your “candid laugh.” But let’s talk about something that can truly elevate your shoot: professional, camera-ready makeup. A brand photoshoot is your chance to show up with confidence, connect with your audience, and create content that truly represents you. Investing in makeup specifically designed for the camera? It's one of the simplest (and most impactful) ways to ensure your session is a success.
