United Way of West Florida: 95th Anniversary
United Way of West Florida's Day of Caring is this Friday! If you didn't sign up in time to volunteer this year, there are still opportunities to help.
The Ronald McDonald House needs individually wrapped snacks.
The simplest things can make so much difference in a person's life. Think of the amount of stress relief that comes with being able to grab and go to the hospital with or take back to their room for a late-night snack creates for a parent.
I breathe a sigh of relief just thinking about it!
So while grocery shopping this week, pick up a couple extra individually wrapped snacks for the United Way Day of Caring and the Ronald McDonald House. Items like pudding, crackers, granola bars, chips, etc., are welcome! You can drop your snacks off at the Ronald McDonald House at 5200 Bayou Blvd.
Want to learn more about your local United Way's impact on our community? Watch this video we created to celebrate their 95th Anniversary.

The Role of Certainty in Creativity
What's the role of certainty when it comes to creativity? Does it hold back interesting ideas or provide an environment for your people to thrive? Watch to hear Christine's (Christine Elizabeth Deckert) thoughts on it!
Do you agree? What has been your experience?
Do You Lurk or Engage? | World Social Media Day 2022
Happy World Social Media Day! Don't just celebrate #SMDay, but celebrate yourself! Reconnect with what first attracted you to social media.
We think of the connections, the social interactions, and the excitement of a new communication medium!
To our fellow marketers, it may be another day of social media or overall content creation but give yourself at least a moment to recognize social media's impact on making the world feel more connected and just a little smaller.
Make a point to comment instead of reacting, and engage instead of scrolling past. Reconnect with the "social" part of social media.
Thanks to all who helped us make this fun video, including:
Christine Elizabeth Deckert, Creative Director
Doug Stanford DP, Senior Cinematographer
Jon Deckert, Community Enrichment Director (Actor and Editor)
Erica Dukes, Project Manager (and actor)
Rachel Bozant, Freelance Media Professional (Background Actor)

Quick Meditation for National Stress Awareness Day
Today is National Stress Awareness Day. If you are a business owner, entrepreneur, employee, partner, or even an organism that's self-aware, you've experienced stress. You might even be feeling stressed right now. If that's the case, hang in there! Maybe this can help you.
The International Stress Management Association started National Stress Awareness Day to increase public awareness and help people recognize, manage and reduce stress in their personal and professional lives. Check out their resources to learn how you can improve your team's stress management: Home | ISMA Stress Management Association https://bit.ly/3bETr18.
Several methods can help manage stress, including listening to calming instrumental music, allowing yourself time to go for a walk, and practicing meditation.
In celebration of today, we're looking back at a mediation video that Jon Deckert, our Creative Director, created last year to help people working remotely and trying to grapple with the new stresses that came with it. He gives a short guided meditation that you can complete in under ten minutes. Haven't meditated or had success with meditation before? Maybe this video will help you make some progress. We'd love to hear what stress management methods work for you and if this video helped you today.
How to Fall in Love with Vivid Bridge Studios
Today's a fun one! It's International Animation Day! In celebration of today, we're sharing an animated explainer video created by Christine York, our Creative Director, called How to Fall In Love with Vivid Bridge.
When you finish watching the video, take some time to discover some new animators and motion designers. Or, give yourself a trip down memory lane and reconnect with some animation that inspired you years ago.
The purpose behind this video was to showcase how we, Vivid Bridge, can be your strategic video partner for your marketing plan. It made sense to make the video using motion graphics to illustrate abstract concepts in more tangible ways.
It was crucial to have a friendly, approachable, yet, confident tone to ease some of the frustrations and pressures that entrepreneurs, business owners, and marketing managers can feel when they start diving into video.
They know they need video in their marketing calendar, but they don't know where to focus or aren't building traction as quickly as they need. That's where we come in.
