📷 Happy National Camera Day!

They say if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life—and for us, that started with picking up a camera just for fun.

What began as a creative outlet has become part of our everyday work. From food shoots to behind-the-scenes content, we’re lucky to call this “the job.” Grateful for a team of storytellers who turn their hobbies into art—and then into impact.

Here’s to passion becoming profession, one snapshot at a time!

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: the secret to good work isn’t just strategy—it’s people!

The kind that lean in. That asks better questions. Those aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo if it means getting to something smarter.

This team? They’re the reason 316 is what it is.
Not just because of what they do, but because of how they do it. Together.

Sometimes, it starts with a Post-it Note.

This morning, we walked into the office to find a simple pink sticky note on the door. It read:

"Look at the views on Facebook. Have an awesome day!" 😊

That tiny note said everything.

Here’s the backstory: One of our long-time clients has built their brand almost entirely on Instagram. For years, we encouraged them to consider Facebook—to tap into a completely different audience.

After all, 7 out of 10 people use Facebook. That’s not a trend—it’s reach.

Reluctantly, they agreed to let us post to Facebook just 7 days ago. Since then, one of the Reels we created has exploded:

📈 885,000 views
❤️ 18,000+ interactions
👥 1,200 new followers

It’s a powerful reminder that your audience might be waiting somewhere you're not looking yet. Sometimes, all it takes is a little trust—and the right team behind you.

And yeah… a pink Post-it to celebrate the moment.

This sign doesn’t mean “go away.” It means “get here earlier tomorrow.”

It’s one of the simplest, scrappiest, and most effective marketing tools I’ve ever used.

It’s called sold-out sign marketing, and it works—especially when it’s real.

We’ve used it with BBQ joints, bakeries, and small businesses across the country.

Here’s the psychology behind it—and how you can use it to train behavior and drive demand:

🔥 From concept to shelf—this is what collaboration looks like!

We loved being part of the journey with Helping U Barbeque as their new “They Still Call Me Trinity” Beef Rub came to life. From branding to packaging, our team had the privilege of helping shape this bold, Texas-style blend—and now it’s officially available in-store at HUB! 🥩✨

It’s always a proud moment when a project like this goes from vision to reality, and we’re grateful to play a small role in helping our clients bring their flavor (literally) to the world.

Loved getting to spend time strategizing with Grounded Granola this week! From a front-yard launch to a growing business with big goals—we’re so excited to be part of the journey 🧡

I'm soooo excited to be getting some much needed help from the talented team at 316 Strategy Group here in Omaha.
Over the next few months, I'll be implementing a much improved website with more functionality as well as all new packaging!
Some of you know that I started this business by handing out samples at the end of my driveway on the first day of school in 2023 (I live across from an elementary school). I honestly never thought it would grow like it has and I am beyond grateful to all of you for your continued support!
