This month, we hosted an informative morning where we swapped desks for something bigger: raising breast cancer awareness. We dove into self-check techniques, heard a brave survivor’s journey, and topped it all off with a cupcake decorating session (because no two boobs are the same!). Check out our behind-the-scenes video from Ruby Johnson-Cole, who organised the session! Special thanks to CoppaFeel! for their helpful information pack. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #bcam

As Black History Month closes, I worked with Connect Management to host a panel with 6 of our INCREDIBLE black talents as part of "Connecting The Dots", this time "Reclaiming the Narrative". We were able to invite an array of our clients, bringing them to hear Ehiz Efuah, Sandro Farmhouse, Monique Amaka, Luke Vernon, Mick Medeiros and Seyi Sodia offer their perspectives on being creators along with how best to work with them all year round, outside moments that spotlight being black/black culture - what better way to hear, than from than from the creators directly. It was incredibly refreshing to see the responses from the audience, with many questions and conversation starters, and I hope our clients found it as resourceful as our talents and team did. We wrapped the panel with some tasty Ghanaian and Jamaican food for everyone to enjoy. We'll continue to ensure our creators are feeling advocated for, working with a team rooting for them, and clients who can see their values - this is only the start! A huge thank you to our talents and clients, in addition to Benjamin Leslie and Andre Spence for the support to make this all possible within the company.

🚀Last week was fantastic, sharing the stage with Mesha Moinirad and listening to Luke Vernon's keynote at CreatorFest. Mesha and I explored the different ways creators are expanding their revenue streams and building sustainable businesses. Luke also shared his tips and insights on 'How to Dominate the Creator Space' and introduced his A-G-A strategy - Acceptance, Guidance, and Action, showing how he turned personal adversity into a foundation for resilience and success. Our top three takeaways? 1️⃣ Before starting a business, ask yourself: do you truly understand your audience? Do they trust your content, and would they buy your products? 2️⃣ Be flexible and grow with the industry. Try the newest app, attend that event, and partner with other creators. 3️⃣ Show gratitude, and say thank you for everything! A big thank you to the amazing Mollie Leach and the wider Hello Partner team. Oh, and you might have even spotted Connect Management on the lanyards! #CreatorFest24 #InfluencerMarketing #CreatorEconomy
