As Michelle Kim (she-her) reminds us: " Do you remember who you said you wanted to be 3 months ago? How have you shifted since then? How have you been showing up in alignment with your values? " …see more

the startup/incumbent divide in financial services (whether the startup side is defined as fintech or defi or crypto) is an identity war. one side defines itself affirmatively as centralized, protective of users, benevolent, secure, orderly (amongst other things) the other defines itself affirmatively as insurgent, edgy, innovative, user centric (amongst other things) each side defines the other by the attributes it abhors: - not innovative, takes advantage of users, not secure, too expensive, bad for the system, doomed to fail each side secretly wants to acquire the positive attributes of the other. ultimately, as with many identity wars, each side’s minimalists will cross pollinate to create something new, while each side’s maximalists will further polarize. #digital #innovation #fintech #financialservices #defi #identity #strategy …see more

Today marks 50 years since the iconic Beatles album cover photo for Abbey Road was taken. To our lovely friends in the UK, it is "just another Zebra crossing," but when we visited a few years ago it was a magical place. When I am missing London I like to check out the live feed of the crossing located here: https://lnkd.in/ehc8rjU …see more

"When organizations commit to actual change, the brand grows stronger from the inside. And instead of running the same bland messaging everyone else, you have the opportunity to demonstrate real #leadership and authentically differentiate your brand from your competitors. For example, Rent The Runway bolstered their #BLM support statement with a public commitment to sustainable change. Those kinds of actions have a tangible impact on the community and they happen to make for great stories. That’s how you market for good. And thanks, Katie, now I’m feeling up for the challenge." Clare Chiappetta wrote a fantastic recap of my talk, Navigating the Uncharted Waters of Woke-Washed #Marketing . Thank you Clare! (Link below) …see more

You have to know how to brag — and how not to. Showing confidence is good, but you don't want to sound conceited. #communication #KellyeMedia #mediatraining #jobinterviews #applyingforajob #interviewing #jobsearchstrategy https://lnkd.in/eASRnq7 …see more

The sense of tragedy is that the world is not a pleasant little nest made for our protection, but a vast and largely hostile environment, in which we can achieve great things only by defying the gods; and that this defiance inevitably brings its own punishment. Norbert Wiener …see more

It was great to work with an outstanding video production team today. I am extremely thankful for our internal Marketing and Communications team and our external video partners, and Leadership supporting the importance of creativity! It was a long 12-hour day off site for our team, but we learned a lot about the “golden hours” for drone shots, the art of creating natural light, the diplomacy of a location pivot, how a paper towel can diffuse too much light, and the importance of humor during a tightly packed schedule. Any good marketing professional knows that spreadsheets are just as important as creative projects. However, it is more important to realize that you may never brag to your kids about the time that you spent 12 hours on a spreadsheet. #thankful #marketing #creative #leadership …see more
