Going to be super fun! 🤩

🌟WHAT IS OPERATION DUCK DROP?🌟

Now that we are all settled into 2024 we thought we would share what Operation Duck Drop is and who is behind this super fun event! 😄

Operation Duck Drop is a community-based event focusing on raising funds for local non-profits that may not have a large foundation to do all of the amazing work they are setting out to do. We choose organizations with lower funding amounts and volunteers to ensure that we are also assisting the smaller organizations do BIG things. Each applicant goes through a process of explaining their foundation, their goals (and maybe even their dreams) as well as what they would like to do with the funds. The chosen applicant also assists our Board of Directors on the day of by volunteering with the event. Our goal is to increase the amount of funds raised each year and assist as many community organizations as possible.

On May 25th, 2024, our group will take to the Penticton Channel and release 5,000 Rubber Ducks to see which rubber ducky crosses that finish line first. Once all of the ducks have crossed the finish line, it’s time to celebrate! We have an on-site BBQ, activities and of course, Awards for the winners in various categories.

The group behind Operation Duck Drop consists of our fearless leader and well-known community member, Sarah Tucker of Graphically Hip alongside Janine Cumberland of event co. and Shane Squires of Cascades Casino Penticton as the founders of this event. Joining them on the Board of Directors are Ashley Weninger ( by Ashley), Ashley Corcoran (Aurora Electric ), Lacie Roberge, Megan Schmidt (Cascades Casino Penticton) and Lisa Prokopenko (Concepta Marketing) all of whom have various backgrounds and the same goal of assisting community organizations for the long term.

Want to be a part of Operation Duck Drop? Stay tuned for sponsorship and volunteer opportunities being announced soon!

🆕 2024 Social Media Trends 🆕

Now that the holidays are behind us, it's time to dig back into all things work!

As always social media changes so frequently it can be hard to keep up. It’s one of the reasons why I enjoy managing it; because I love the challenge of staying on top of what is in or out. Of course, not all elements suit all businesses but it’s equally important to know what’s changing!

1️⃣ The Return of Long Form Content
For the past few years, a key strategy for growing on TikTok and Instagram was short-form content centred around audio. With more creators and brands working hard to stand out they will get more creative with longer and more original content. 🗓️

2️⃣ More Influencer Product Placement
POV: You watch a video of an influencer applying a make-up while they talk about everything but the make-up. 💄

Scroll down to the comments and you’ll likely see everyone asking for the make-up brand or uses.

That is the power of product placement. 💥

3️⃣ All the AI Integrations
While there are still many that are on the fence with AI, and rightfully so. It’s predicted that we’ll see more brands jumping on the bandwagon. Whether it’s being adopted into software or in content creation.

These are just a couple of the ever changing elements of social media marketing. Find the full blog on my website 👉 https://www.conceptamarketing.com/blog/2024-social-media-trends

Now that the holidays are over it is time to get back to work!

🗓️ Everyone has their own way of staying organized whether it's a detailed list, a chaotic never-ending papertrail or a balance of both.

📆 I like to start my week off reviewing my calendar and then get going on goals I want to accomplish - I also remind myself to ensure they are achievable!

Then I decide how I'm going to make it happen by adding in all of those to-do's on specific days to my planner and double checking my notes. I also add in all of the kid's activities and even had calendar invites to my husband so neither of us forget something 🤣

Keeping that brain functioning throughout the day can be tough as well, so I try to make sure I take time for myself whether it be with food, a walk or heading to the gym. 💪

That's just my way, what are some ways you all stay productive? 💻

Do you suffer from TMJ pain?

TMJ also known as Temporomandibular joints are the 2 joints that connect your lower jaw to your skull. Many people suffer from pain and tenderness in their jaw joints and surrounding muscles. This can be caused from teeth grinding, injuries to the jaw, and everyday wear and tear.

Treatment varies depending on the person and severity. However, a Cone Beam CT scan can be the first step in diagnosis and creating a treatment plan.

If you’ve ever woken up with your jaw sore and you have no idea why or your jaw “clicks” or is painful when eating certain foods, you may suffer from TMJ. Giving us a call is the first start in not only finding out but starting a treatment plan sooner than later.

Your health is in your hands.

Why hire a social media manager?

✅ Growing your audience is essentially a megaphone in the digital space. As your audience grows, the credibility of your brand grows. Not only that but trust in your brand grows, too.

✅ Engaging with your users – whether that be within a page or group – has to happen. Social media is a two-way conversation and your users want to know that the brand they care about, also cares about them.

✅ Protect your reputation: We are constantly on high alert to each message, review, and comment happening within social media regarding a brand.

✅ Expertise: With the landscape always changing, we can keep track of any algorithm changes and new trends within the platform, but also adapt your strategy and the content based on the latest updates.
