🎉 Meet the Mulberries! 🎉 Meet Kelsey Daly, our Senior Marketing & Events Specialist and the creative force behind all our emails and social media posts! Kelsey joined Mulberry in 2020, and today, we're celebrating her four-year work anniversary. Starting as our Talent Acquisition Coordinator and advancing to a Talent Acquisition Partner, she later transitioned into the world of marketing and events at Mulberry, and is enjoying every moment of it. Here are a few fun facts about Kelsey! ☀️ What do you enjoy most about working in marketing and events? With a degree in PR and a professional background in events, I’ve loved being able to step back into work that I’m familiar with and engage with clients and candidates from a different perspective. ☀️ What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re not working? I love spending quality time with my family! My husband and I welcomed our daughter in November 2022 and have another daughter on the way. ☀️ What’s a fun fact about you that not many people know? I grew up doing ballet for the majority of my life and traveled to attend summer intensives at American Ballet Theater in NYC and Houston Ballet! ☀️ What are you currently listening to, reading, or watching? I’m reading ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ and currently very into watching ‘The Great British Baking Show’ on Netflix. We are so thankful for Kelsey and all the hats she has worn over the years at Mulberry! #MeetTheMulberries #TeamMulberry #EmployeeSpotlight #WorkAnniversary

✨You don’t need to be good at something to enjoy it.✨ This might sound obvious, but how often do we stop ourselves from doing something we love, just because we’re not the best at it? Or because we’re not “achieving” anything? 🤔 While I was at university I took up dance. 💃 I wasn’t the best dancer there, nor did I ever make it into the competition teams- sometimes I questioned why I was even doing it! 🤷♀️ But here’s the thing - I loved it. 😍 I loved committing to rehearsals, meeting new people, performing for my family and friends, and even wearing the sometimes-peculiar costumes! 🦁 Don’t let the fear of not being “good enough” stop you from doing what you love. Years from now when you look back, will you remember the certificates you didn’t get or competitions you never went to? 🥉 Or will you remember the moments you felt happy 😁 and proud 🤩 of what you were doing? What’s something you enjoy? Share in the comments! 👇 #personalbranding #earlycareers #positivevibesonly

Sievi can be worn with confidence, but what does confidence mean to our customers? 🎪 What does confidence mean to you as a circus worker? 🎪 "Confidence for me means knowing what I'm doing and for whom. It also means knowing well who I am, what I need to succeed and what I definitely do not need around me. Confidence and self-esteem go hand in hand, and confidence can be supported by dressing, demeanor, words used, and considering the others." 💪 Tell a memorable story about self-confidence from your career? 💪 "I decided to go to high school in another town at the age of 16, although I didn't know anyone there. It was the first major, independent decision where I didn't look back or to the sides, and I didn't listen to anyone but myself. This built my self-esteem and taught me to trust that I know what suits me and what doesn't. Throughout my long career, I have sometimes taken big content risks in front of large audiences. Sometimes it has been a bit scary, but most often it has just been worth it. Fundamentally, this is how I have achieved all the goals I had planned since childhood, from the circus to the Eurovision Song Contest." 🥾 How do work equipment affect your confidence as a circus worker? 🥾 "Work equipment increases certainty; they are very important at Circus Finlandia. Conditions are constantly changing, we are continuously outdoors. Good work clothes and equipment are like an armor", says Elias, the communications manager of Circus Finlandia. #wornwithconfidence #worksafety #safetyatwork

"You can always run away and join the circus." 🎪 🤡 Don't know what kind of job you want? Join the circus. Want to travel and have exciting adventures? Join the circus. Want to have fun all day? Join the circus. This is what my mother would suggest when I'd say "I don't know what to do with my life." After a handful of dead end jobs, touchy feely bosses, and not enough money to cover rent, I'd complain. She'd say, "You can always run away and join the circus." We'd laugh, and come up with some other kind of strategy. One day, I thought, "The circus might be fun." Maybe I'll meet a cute cowboy. Maybe I'll learn how to do acrobatics. Maybe I'll get to ride on an elephant, or tame a lion, or be the ringleader. The 'bearded lady' option wouldn't come into play until years later (ladies, you know what I am talking about.) But my irrational fear of clowns, inability to walk over grass without tripping, and my aversion to the smell of horse sh*t always led me back to a more traditional path. I don't know though....I think I may have missed out on a good opportunity. Can you imagine the stories I'd get to tell?? The lesson? Sometimes, the wildest opportunities—the ones that seem completely out of left field—are the ones that lead to the most fun, growth, and adventure. So, if a chance to "join the circus" comes your way, don’t be afraid to take it. You might just end up with the best stories, a new skill set, and a life that’s anything but ordinary. Turns out, looking for a job these days is like a circus anyways....so if you are looking for a job, you ended up in the 'circus' anyway. #resumewriting #jobsearch #itsacircusoutthere #jointhecircus

Where Social Media Meets Circus | Digital Content Strategy Architect | Your B2B Marketing BFF | Museum Nerd
Happy 1st of May to my big, beautiful circus family. Did you know that there are secret circus folk among us? People with a sparkle in their eye who have run away with the circus, learned invaluable lessons about hard work, life, pain, determination, grit, bravery, community, and love, and come back to the "real world" to sit at corporate jobs? Did you know that I'm one of them? Yep. That's me in the photo. One of my first full time jobs was working as a circus performer and flying trapeze instructor during the summer of 2010 (a "First of May," as the circus lingo dictates, aka a noob). I was saving up to move back east from Ohio, so I took all the hours I could get my hands on. That summer is likely the hardest I've ever worked in my entire life. And yet, I have no negative memories of it. I don't remember the exhaustion, the sunburn, the frustration (although I do vividly remember the 100+ degree heat 🥵 )...what I do remember, as if it were yesterday, is how much fun it was. How much I loved my coworkers, my team. How awesome it was that we were learning and growing together. How amazing it was to be a part of sharing something so magical with the local community. That magic, that sparkle, is what I continue to seek to bring audiences in my professional life. Perhaps its what makes my content so successful--I understand wow factor, and I know how to bring it. My days of full-time (plus) circus performing and teaching may now be in my past, but I carry the creativity, grit, problem-solving, sparkly Marissa from back then with me. In fact, I'm proud to say that she's a critical piece of my professional identity. I also still haven't fully (and probably never will) let go of my circus life. I own a portable aerial rig that I can twirl and hang from at my leisure. I fully plan to teach my daughter as many circus arts as I can. I still teach circus on a weekly basis. Social media (and likely other areas of professional work) sometimes demands that we pigeonhole ourselves into one micro-niche identity. You're a 'corporate America content creator,' or a 'mom influencer,' or a 'sharer of athletic feats and novelties,' and how dare you even consider sharing something else. But our multifaceted identities, life experiences and talents are make us fully formed humans. So take this post as permission to share your sparkle. Your secret circus talent. Amazing and unique people come from all corners of the world and all types of experiences to the circus because in it, as their most authentic selves, they find community. On this day, a celebration of uniqueness and magic, dare to share your authentic self, and watch as your community flowers around you. Happy 1st of May, to one and all. You are beautiful. 🎪 #socialmedia #circus

#Visible leadership is the difference between a thriving company or a company that merely exists. Moons back when I joined MultiChoice Mr. Nolo Letele was CEO of MultiChoice. I would observe him frequently (if I say daily, I would not be over exaggerating). Every time he was on a particular floor, there was a buzz, and employees rushed to his direction to speak to him and give him a hug. I was intrigued by this as I came from a different culture, a culture where CEOs were aloof and people too important to engage with. I started making enquiries and observing Mr. Letele closely. I soon learnt that he knew employees, even their challenges. In his daily walks, he would engage employees about their challenges and ask about their families and their wellbeing. I am not joking when I say, to employees, Mr. Letele was like Superman. I soon realized that employees had immense respect and loyalty to Mr. Letele (love that then transferred to the company). They could not fail him, therefore, embarrass him. He called out nonperformance but did not dehumanise people while doing so. People stayed in the office until after 6pm on Fridays (shock and horror!), without realizing it. In retrospect, this was also my personal turning point. By observing him, I realised that true and successful management is a skill that few have mastered. Ballet is one craft that requires years of training, dedication, sweat and tears. Those who become principal dancers have spent years training, and in most cases have a natural knack for it (nature vs. nurture). Managing people successfully is like an intricate and well-choreographed ballet performance, you need your principal dancer/s for the performance to work. There are fewer principal dancers than ballet dancers. When companies are in transitional mode, they need principal dancers. We take off our hats to leaders like Mr. Letele, thank you sir!

Day 10. I mentioned earlier that it'd be a bit late this week. I have something going on that keeps me busy until late at night. That being said, I will still stick to my daily posts. Today's topic is extracurricular activities. This is kind of my focus for the week, and it's a bit out of the ordinary for most. This week, my daughter is performing in her ballet companies Spring show. This comes with a lot of parent volunteer time, and shuttling back and forth to rehearsals and practices. The culmination though, is what we call "theater week". Monday through the week, and shows on both days of the weekend. My volunteer time comes mostly in this week backstage. We build large sets, and do what most would consider "professional" theater work. Hanging backdrops, coordinating lighting, fog, sound, etc. I've been doing it for several years, and have gotten very good at what we do. To the point, I could go backstage at a large ballet performance and know what to do, and how to do it. This harkens back to my very first post 10 days ago. Most jobs can be learned. I have learned over the years, just by being allowed to do things, and by watching, and learning. These are the skills that, were I in a hiring managers shoes, I'd find valuable. Share these kinds of things in an interview. They may just get me that job! Keep learning people! You never stop.

Situational Intelligence Consultant I Travel Safety Consultant I Essential Security Risk Management Consultant I Keynote Speaker
Saturday Brag Post: The Power of a Strong Foundation Watching my daughter confidently take on the challenge of moving states, starting a new ballet school mid-year, being selected to sit the American Ballet Theater exam with only a few months of preparation, and then receiving a passing grade with honors has been truly inspiring. It made me realize that the strong foundation she has built through ballet—through discipline, focus, and practice—has equipped her with the skills to excel in other areas of life. This same principle applies in the workplace when it comes to security. 1. Discipline and Routine: Just as ballet requires regular practice and adherence to technique, maintaining a secure environment demands consistent application of best practices. A strong security foundation is built through daily routines and disciplined protocol adherence. 2. Adaptability: Dancers learn to adapt their movements to different styles and routines, just as a robust security culture allows an organization to adapt to new threats and challenges. Flexibility is key to staying ahead of potential risks. 3. Confidence Through Preparation: She practiced her exam routine over and over, allowing her to walk into the exam with confidence. Similarly, an employer who has invested in a strong security foundation—through training, technology, and planning—can confidently navigate the complexities of today’s threat landscape. 4. Continuous Improvement: Dancers know there's always room for growth. She is continuously refining her skills, just as companies must continually assess and improve their security measures. The pursuit of excellence is ongoing. 5. Focus and Awareness: Dance teaches the importance of focus and awareness of one’s surroundings. In security, this translates to being vigilant and aware of potential vulnerabilities, ensuring no threat goes unnoticed. The lesson here is clear: a solid base in any discipline leads to success. #SecurityFoundation #WorkplaceSafety #ContinuousImprovement #Leadership #FocusAndDiscipline #Habits #Traits #Leaders #Foundation

Custom research. Embrace consumer understanding, unlock genuine insights, empower decisions for growth
A teenager quits ballet after more than a decade of dancing, having started in the ‘tots’ class and a highlight of her dancing decade being one of the sugar plum fairies in the Nut Cracker, performed alongside Charlize Theron. She hangs up her pointe shoes for the last time, a mix of relief and sadness washing over her. The shoes are pain. The shoes are achievement. The shoes are determination. But mostly the shoes are evidence that she’ll never be a real ballerina. It’s time to accept the truth: she doesn’t have what it takes. She is me. I loved ballet but I couldn’t do pointe-work. My feet, are quite frankly, the wrong shape. My big toes are too long, my other toes too short so my ballet career had to end when the only progression was to pointe work: after all, trying to balance on only one toe is always going to be painful and hard work. Business is the same: if you’re balancing on one toe, it’s a lot harder to stay upright. You need resources who are going to help make decisions easier, who provide recommendations that count for something, who understand your business, who are opinionated and will challenge you to be and do better. Consumer research has an issue and a reputation for not giving stakeholders what they actually need. We’re excellent at providing data and sometimes even a genuine insight, but we’re missing the commercial stepping stone to the stakeholders. (May I stress that this is not every agency!) What it means, however, is that internal insight managers, on top of relationship management, project logistics and supplier oversight, have to do extra legwork with agency-provided research and stakeholders become more disenchanted with the claims that agencies make about their commercial acumen. So here’s a suggestion: why not get *ALL* stakeholders into a room at the start of a research project to discuss what the research will be used for and what is possible with the research? It might be that other solutions are better, but isn’t it better to know that from the outset, rather than adding to everyone’s workload? (And yes, these are my pointe shoes from all those years ago.) #marketresearch #consumerinsights #consumertruths #humantruths #consumerresearch
