Where You’ll Find Me

Celebrating a rare champagne moment in 2020: I’m thrilled and grateful to join the fight against invisibility as VP Group Strategy Director at The Martin Agency this week!

Earlier this year I committed to spending more time mentoring others and gave myself the title of Chief Visibility Officer for women, POC, and LGBTQIA+ talent in advertising — and I couldn’t have found a better match in an agency that’s working so hard to fight invisibility.

❤️ If you are so inclined, please give my LinkedIn post some love — would appreciate your likes and comments to boost visibility!

Thank you for the support!

(Thank you Jess for the bubbly, the rooftop, and the constant encouragement.)

Bring it on, corporate America! My calendar can handle it.

Reading

The Twittering Machine by Richard Seymour: a psychoanalytic reading of social media and the death drive.

Watching

💔The Social Dilemma (Netflix). Heartbroken to see cold fact charts about the 150% rise in suicide and self-harm in young teen and tween women corresponding exactly with the rise of social media.

Ari Levine @arilevine

craziest part of the conversation around the Social Dilemma is how many people are learning about how social media works for the first time.

Creativity/Productivity Hack

Communicate with images or video using Awesome Screenshot, a Chrome extension power tool to capture static images or videos on the fly, mark it up, then share a direct link to the image or video. Et voila, screenshots 2.0.

Dope Stuff for Your Desk

Touchland hand sanitizer that sprays in a non-sticky fine mist! And looks like a cute chunky old school iPhone! Comes in all sorts of yummy scents: citrus, mint, aloe vera, lavender, vanilla cinnamon, mmmmmm….

(Also a Jess recommendation!)

Hand sanitizer you won’t want to keep 6 feet away from 👏

Remembering

RGB reacts to SNL. Amidst all the grief, this little clip made me crack up in a good way. May her memory be a revolution.

maddy @gigiphobia

one of my favorite rbg moments is when she reacted to kate mckinnon's impression of her on saturday night live — remind you of yourself? — not one bit!

Deck of the Week

The Visibility Brief by The Martin Agency. Respect.

Take care ‘til next time,
