Fearless Foundry

When you think about your own experiences, have you ever been excited to receive an automated message or 100 emails in 100 days? Neither have we. That’s why we challenge brands to pause, reflect, and ask: • Is this how our customers want to engage with us? • Are we building relationships or just filling inboxes? As Madeline Reeves shares in her latest Note From the Founder, it’s time to shift our mindset and start #marketing in a way that feels real, intentional, and human.

Our next Uplift will be really special, because this one is all about Gratitude. Uplift is our “not your grandmother’s” networking event (although she is definitely invited to join, especially if she owns a business!). And this time around, we’re inviting you to bring someone you’d like to appreciate. Maybe you have a mentor who believed in you when no one else did. Or a friend who was your first investor. Or a vendor who cut you a break as you were getting started. Whoever it is, we want you to bring them and celebrate their generosity and brilliance with the group! Save the date (November 13th at 10am PST) and uplift someone who deserves it. We can’t wait to see you there! https://lnkd.in/gVX_b2YD
