Sands Investment Group’s Post

Imagine a world where people in need are met with an organization dedicated to improving lives, not just through words, but through action. Kim and I attended the ToolBelt Ball hosted by People Working Cooperatively, Inc. this past weekend and what we discovered was nothing short of inspiring. This organization doesn't just run a good fundraiser; they're transforming our local community with their unwavering mission and tangible impact. And here's the thing—it's impossible to listen to their story and not feel compelled to act. So, I challenge you: take a moment to learn about People Working Cooperatively, Inc. Understand their mission. Witness their impact. And then ask yourself—how can you not want to be part of this powerful journey? Together, we can contribute to a cause that truly matters and make our community stronger for it.

Nostalgia campaigns are more than a trip down memory lane; it’s a powerful way to stay culturally relevant when done authentically. It’s about giving a gift and being community-minded first. Ore-Ida (tater tots) has given millennials and Napoleon Dynamite fans a sweet video this week. Their new campaign features Jon Heder reprising his role as Napoleon, complete with his iconic Moon Boots and a new pair of pants with a Tot Crush-Proof pocket. This campaign is steeped in nostalgia, thanks to Kraft Heinz in-house agency, The Kitchen North America, and the stakeholders at Ore-Ida who greenlit this idea. https://lnkd.in/gNUhuYxV I want to personally thank everyone who made this happen, including Aaron Ruell (Kip Dynamite) for directing it. Seeing the new spots felt like reconnecting with an old high school friend. I remember the trailers for Napoleon Dynamite on MTV and experiencing that unique, awkwardly beautiful style of humor for the first time. I hope this campaign sells a lot of tots and fuels more creative work. At Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity this week, McDonald's CFO Ian Borden spoke about the positive outcomes (revenue) when McDonald's immerses itself in culture. My take is that contributing to culture authentically benefits both brands and collaborators. Nostalgia, when tapped into genuinely, serves as a bridge to cultural relevance, allowing brands to connect deeply with their audience by honoring shared memories and experiences. #NostalgiaMarketing #MarketingCampaign #NapoleonDynamite

Proud to be preserving the legacy and tradition of leather and shoemaking in the USA! Most of our Heritage products, like this Beckman boot, originated in the 1920's -1950's, and represents the best of our American values of quality and craftsmanship. Both Leather and shoemaking are craft manufacturing industries requiring a delicate balance of art and science. Unlike plastic or metal, we are working with leather, one of nature's most variable materials. To be successful, it requires a highly skilled workforce having their hands, head and heart actively engaged with the product. It's not the machine that makes our boots, it's the person behind the machine... and this human element is the most critical part of the process.
