Community changed my life 🎙️✨ And from the top to the bottom of my soul, I believe it can change yours too. That's why I'm joining the CLIQ team, as part of their advisory board (EE. Pinch me!). I couldn't love their mission more and I couldn't be more excited to be on this world changing journey with them. The biggest thank you to Jason and Nicola for the opportunity to impact CLIQ's future - and the biggest shout out to my fellow advisors Adam, Grace and Maya 🤭🌎 PUMPED doesn't cover it. Community is the future. Let's GO 💌

As May draws to a close and we are bringing in June, here at CLIQ HQ we are so excited for what is to come with our app updates. So Linkedin, it’s time for a sneak peak… 👀 Let's dive right into it - what's coming in the next week? 👇 We are seeing a big change to near me - this is how you see connections, clubs and events! You will be able to search clubs and tags so much easier, making CLIQ 10x more user friendly. Now you can sell tickets through CLIQ! 💰 All tickets will be able to be paid for either via Apple Pay or directly through your card, and you can save those details for purchasing tickets in the future. So simple! When purchasing tickets, the community can ask buyers questions such as "Is this your first event with us?" and “Are you coming solo?” for a more accurate depiction of the event. And the events dashboard… 📈 Each event will have it's own breakdown of sales, including revenue, type of ticket and whether or not they used a promotion code (if needed). Buyers can then ask you questions directly, such as “Can I bring my dog to a walk?”. This dashboard is also available to summarise all your events and how much revenue you have taken on the whole. We also now have the ability to check-in users, either by marking them off manually or scanning the QR code on their tickets 📲 Who is excited? Because I know we are! 😃 Do you like the look of where we are going with CLIQ? Then make sure to sign up to pre-register for our crowdfund, live now: https://lnkd.in/eKQry4Qk

This is so true 👏 We are so pleased to be helping to pave the way for a more social, social media landscape. Less scrolling, more connections. What do you think? 🤔

Mental health awareness week 🧠🛶 Here at CLIQ, we know and understand well the way loneliness can affect your mental health. How important it is to surround yourself with the right people, and how finding your tribe makes you feel 🫂 We spend hours on social media comparing our lives to other people - how many friends they have, how much fun the event looks. We end up feeling like we have something missing, and that we are the only ones in the world feeling this way. But you’re not, I promise you that. With so many incredible community groups on CLIQ, together we are taking a step each day to a brighter future for our mental health and how social media makes us feel. Finding like minded connections with people in the exact same boat as us 🛶 So this mental health awareness week, remember the value of surrounding yourself with people that lift you up. People that bring you so much joy and happiness. Take a break from scrolling. Treat yourself. Attend that event. Push yourself out of your comfort zone. You are not alone. There is nothing wrong with you. You are not the only one who feels this way. It gets so much better, we promise 💜 #mentalhealthawarenessweek
