The product has to be good, but the brand has to be even better. When faced with embroidery restrictions on a complex design, we embraced simplicity. The result? LIGHT—a clean, bold, and simple solution that perfectly represents what we stand for. What I’ve learned so far in running a business is that the biggest challenges often have the simplest solutions. LIGHT is just one of many examples.

You might not know this (because I never talk about it) but I produce a zine and make stickers and sometimes people buy them. Issue 02 of my zine will be on sale for the next few weeks at Issues Magazine Shop in Toronto if you're interested in snagging a copy. I'm slowly starting to share my art more often so if you're at all interested in keeping up with my work, find me here 👉🏾 Her Anthologie.

[imagine “Graduation” by Vitamin C is playing probably] A lot has been coming out about Foxtrot and Dom's Kitchen & Market the past few days. It's disappointing. It's personally frustrating. But equally en masse, seeing the outpour of support and praise on behalf of my teammates in the Creative Department has been endearing. I'm honored to have been a part of it, and that's really all I want to focus on. Because, to me, after its front-line workers, a brand's most potent asset is its story. And our enduring story was my favorite part of Foxtrot, even as it warped and we fought back. So, I want to shoutout the people who guided me and told a stellar story over the past few years: Jasen Emamian: A erudite social manager, content machine, and outspoken voice in the room. The rare social hire who also delivers. Colleen Griffiths: A wholly original one-person team whose talent is matched by their speed. PS this is the kindest human. Nicole Mizgalski: An extremely informed and worthwhile creative, mentor, and thought leader. When she speaks you better f***in’ listen. This is invaluable perspective.  Rob Schellenberg: Surely a future leader in unlocking this “third coast” as the most inspired hub for creative cool things. Makes designing and sifting through the rubble to find your genius look easy.  Garrett Sweet: An agile and masterful photographer; you’ll be lucky to look at his gallery and see things the way he does. I’d say book him now but he’s probably already too cool for you. and Stephanie Klaers + Kelsie de la Ossa: The only people who could keep you wrangled long enough to bottle all your genius, and patient enough to bring your vision into the material world. We made stuff. We threw parties. We launched wines and snacks. A concert here. A DJ set there. We created so many f***ing emails, posters, menus, intros, booklets, signs, product descriptions, the coolest merch. We were as hungry as the business we worked for. And still are! So connect with these people. Foxtrot and Dom’s are done, but the talent of this team and all it's contribtuors will be recognized wherever they go next.

In the world of whiskey, there has long existed a perception that it’s a robust brew only for men, as if the nectar of barley and oak might turn delicate constitutions to moonshine vapor. Anna Axster and Wendelin von Schroder clearly have other plans in mind and more power to them for it. Picture this: the traditional whiskey club as a Medieval castle, with towering stone walls and an exclusively male garrison. Suddenly, Anna and Wendelin arrive in nothing short of fine armor tailored in modernity's slick lines—women unafraid to walk boldly through the heavy iron gates, reshaping history itself. Like the gust of wind that topples the whole house of cards, these visionary cousins are about to infuse the old whiskey world with a breath of fresh air. They’re saying, “Why suffer from this old-style indigestion when diversity can be the key ingredient?”—ah, the triumph of new age thinking! While some might mock this effort purely as a marketing ploy, a cynical grab for headlines, isn’t it always that the wolves in sheep's clothing reveal the last laugh as pure innovation and heart? Perhaps what Anna and Wendelin are crafting isn’t merely liquid in glass but a catalyst for a more inclusive community. Consider it a journey: each dram of whiskey no longer whispered amongst the shadows of stogie-saturated rooms but swirled in an environment that explores partnerships, creativity, and cultural appreciation. Now, ponder the intrigue of how a shared interest might seed a gardener's delight of camaraderie—who is to say what flowers will bloom? But beware, dear traditionalists, of embracing sullen thoughts. Predictions hold power, and I foresee a kaleidoscope of flavorful combinations pouring forth, pooling together, unifying fans from all genders and backgrounds. So, if anything, when you next hear the clink of whiskey glasses, listen closely. Anna and Wendelin aren’t tearing down your castle; they’re furnishing a majestic hall within it for all to partake. In the heart of progress—for the love of a good story and an even better drink—cheers to expanding the circle. #WhiskeyRevolution #WomenInWhiskey #BreakingBarriers https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV

Company Culture is your entire brand, not just how you treat your employees. AriZona Iced tea leads the way. When your customers trust that you always have their back, they will never leave you, the same is true of your employees. There are so many parallels between company culture and sales strategy. I believe they have a direct effect on one another, and are essentially the same thing. How do you give back to your clients and employees? #CompanyCulture #Burnouts #SalesStrategy

So excited to finally be launching our summer merch <3 Here's the strategy behind doing this: ⭐ We're sold out and needed to keep our community engaged (+ we need some sort of stream of income as we've had little the past couple of months) ⭐ Brand awareness. With each person that purchases merch and then wears it around, we get increased reach. Think about it, someone likes the item on somebody else and asks them where they bought it, they then follow us and find out more about us (best case scenario). ⭐ And lastly, good girl snacks is meant to be a brand that offers your favorite snacks, but also one that feels like a lifestyle. What better way to start building our world than to offer merch???
