Charles has put his name forward for the Brandon Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, please learn a little bit more about him below.
Charles Tweed is the owner of Tweedia Social Media Agency in Brandon. Tweedia, which focuses on digital advertising and content creation for businesses on social media, operates out of a downtown office in the Wheat City. Prior to starting Tweedia, Charles worked as a journalist and city editor at The Brandon Sun. Before coming back to Brandon, Charles, who is originally from Killarney, chased an oil rig across Western Canada for close to a decade. He has a diploma in media from Assiniboine Community College.
“I believe my experience starting and growing a business coupled with my time served in the news industry is an asset to the Brandon Chamber of Commerce and its membership,” Tweed said. “Whether it’s the elimination of the payroll tax or ensuring Brandon has enough capacity in the form of energy, land and services to continue to grow the business sector, I believe I would be a good ally for the business community and I’m asking for your vote in order to serve on the board.”
Tweedia was awarded the “Outstanding New Business Award” from the Brandon Chamber of Commerce in 2023 which was its fifth year in business.
Away from work, Charles is a volunteer coach with the First Shift program for Hockey Brandon. He is also a coach with the Special Olympics Westman curling and slow pitch programs; and serves on the Special Olympics Westman board. Charles enjoys curling, golfing, playing volleyball and cheering on the Edmonton Oilers (Jets a close second!) and Cleveland Browns.

Here's a dirty little secret...
You might be creating the greatest content in the world...
But consistency still wins!

Do you sell B2B? Does LinkedIn make sense to your brand?

Is e-mail marketing important to your brand? Do you know if it's successful? We can help with that.
Your business is worth talking about so join the conversation on social media today.
Do you use Google AdWords? We've found AdWords to be very successful providing another layer of exposure. But, probably its biggest asset, is that it puts the brand in front of an ACTIVE consumer. Someone who might be doing research on a product or looking to purchase.

When Manitoba MEMES unite! The SALMON shirt guy showed up to supervisor Premier Kinew who helped a distressed driver stranded on the side of the road with a blown-out tire recently.
There may even be an Easter egg or two in there if you look closely enough! Do you know your MEMES?
Knowing the lifecycle of a negative post can greatly reduce anxiety. Minimizing your chances of going negative with a professional voice, will reduce it the most.
Have your recruitment efforts changed in the last five years? The labour force landscape is changing rapidly and social media is one of the tools that business owners can use to both recruit and retain quality people.
Good social media highlights your incredible team, supports new salespeople so they get up and running quicker and job boards help find prospective team members.

Is it still "social media" at this point? Or is it just media?
Knocking out your competition since 2017!
We work behind the scenes for you and your business. Have a great weekend everyone!
Weak social media loves speed.
Strong social media loves time.
Building relationships is fundamental to your recruitment efforts. LinkedIn has become one of the most valuable tools due to its wide reach with professionals.
According to Pew Research, about "half of adults who have a bachelor's or advanced degree" say they used LinkedIn. That makes it fertile ground for recruiters.
What's our secret? It's coffee. It's always coffee!

Ugly Christmas sweater or awesome Christmas sweater? Merry Christmas from all of us at Tweedia.
Brandon... you sure are beautiful ❄️ We're willing to trade snow for hoar frost all winter long!
If it seems fishy, it probably is! 🐟 Every once in a while we'll notice a spike in spam messages or phishing attempts on social media. Make sure you're not clicking on links in direct messages or stories, block the profile if possible, and delete the message!
We asked AI to expand Zach's headshot... I guess he works in an art studio?! 🎨 Keep in mind that these results are without any direction given to the Photoshop AI other than to expand the photo. AI technology is already impressive and it's still in its early stage of development! Have you tried AI in any capacity yet?
It's never too early to get the (Zach's) heart pumping! Val with the camera work! Happy Halloween everyone!!!
👉👉👉 We promise if you make it past the 30 second mark of this video...IT'S WORTH IT! Thank you to the Brandon Chamber of Commerce for asking Charles to speak during Small Business Month. And to the The Dock on Princess Section 6 Brewing Clarion Hotel & Suites Brandon and Connor from the Chamber for playing along.
While AI can be a useful tool in some cases, often most things still require a human touch. At Tweedia, we're real humans behind the keyboard and the camera, writing captions, connecting with your audience and creating authentic content for your business or event. www.Tweedia.ca
Every once in a while we'll notice a spike in spam messages or phishing attempts on social media, and now is one of those times! Make sure you're not clicking on links in posts, tweets or direct messages unless you are 100 per cent certain that they are genuine and well-intentioned. If it seems fishy, it probably is.
Happy birthday to the man behind the camera...Shay! Shay is one of the newest members of the team and has kicked off our foray into higher end video. If you want to learn more about Shay, visit our website: www.Tweedia.ca
Sometimes finding the PERFECT sound to go with a reel can take a while, but boy is it worth it when you do! 🎧
It's hard not to love the Prairies this time of year. We can often take for granted the beauty that is right in front of us because we're so close to it. The same can be said about all of the wonderful stories that your business has to tell. The closer you are to it, sometimes means the harder it is to see them.
