So proud of my sister-in-law, Nicole Soares for making a decision about working and motherhood that feels right for her. I'm also sad that it takes this level of courage to share that message with a professional world that enjoys the optics of honoring women and motherhood when it's convenient (see: International Women's Day! Mother's Day! Every marketing campaign for a product geared towards Moms!) but falls short of implementing programs, policies and common sense flexibility that would go much further in actually supporting them and championing their rights. The change that could be brought about if we started honoring the duality of the burden AND privilege that is Motherhood and worked to make it possible for women to choose both in a way that didn't break them, would be the ultimate equity move. The answer is NOT better/more childcare, which only separates mothers and children more efficiently across more hours, leaving our mothers burnt out and our children disconnected. Rather, we should be rethinking what we prioritize as a society and taking a fresh approach to what work looks like and how we can provide a bridge to these women during what is essentially, a season (and perhaps the most impactful one, at that). We have a collective responsibility as a society to ensure a healthy, nurturing and connected upbringing for all children in which Mothers are as present as they'd like to be. I am in awe of all the Moms who have chosen this path while trying to keep themselves involved in the professional work that has also been an important part of their lives. *If you know of any professional/working Mothers in this situation who need guidance or support in thinking about how to navigate this tricky time, I offer informal and free of charge support/coaching on this topic/for women. Please feel free to share my information with them.*

My team is hiring senior BD professionals worldwide. Let me quickly tell you why BD might be the perfect role for you if you’re looking to take your career to new heights. For many companies—and especially at Fever—BD is the lifeline. Platform businesses thrive on supply growth, and increasing that supply drives platform success. Wherever you are, always aim to be on the side of growth. BD is the most entrepreneurial job you can have at a mid-sized tech company. In BD, you’re essentially your own boss. You’re measured by the size of your business, you decide how to allocate your time, and eventually, results speak for themselves. There’s no bureaucracy or time wasted—you focus on adding value to the business and get recognized for it. The more you grow, the more BD-related your role will be. Every successful CEO I’ve met excels at one thing—pitching their company or product. If you want to climb the ranks, gaining BD experience is crucial—nothing prepares you better for the top job. I could go on, but you get the idea. If you’re a consultant looking to move into execution, BD is the place for you. We’d love to hear from you—apply at careers.feverup.com or shoot me a note.

associate director

In recent conversations with clients, everyone’s been chatting about how they’re in desperate need of an operations/studio or general manager 🙋♀️ I joined Creative Natives two months back, and in that time, I’ve dived into three different creative services operations roles for businesses big and small. It turns out, operations is a shape-shifter, different in every organisation and no two roles are the same. So if you’re thinking about hiring for this role, keep reading – we’ve put together some handy tips and checklists to make sure you nail that hire. Also, shout-out to the awesome Katy Ross for taking the time to meet with me and share her insights on what to consider in this process!!

Paying it Forward

I think the biggest step in the Just Socials 2 years history. Hiring another Director, I never thought I would be in a position to do this but I read a quote a couple of months back saying you need to employ people that are strong at your weaknesses, and it’s so true…I am doing that. Let’s go 5 Year Growth Plan ✨🙏 #newbusiness #socialmediamarketingagency
