Project Updates and Personal Thanks

Project updates are one way I educate my clients and business associates on what I do. I might start my 60-second at my networking meeting with, “Today, I have these tasks on my to-do list…”. It gives people an idea of the range of products I work on.

Current Work

What are you working on right now? Maybe a company rebrand? Or are you updating your website? Perhaps creating new social media graphics for your social media channels?

My Project Updates

The past month has me:
– wrapping up a newsletter for one client
– creating food labels for a collaborative effort of two local companies
– creating a corporate brochure for a client that specializes in large mailings
– developing print materials for my new brand

Self Promotion

See how self-promotion is last on the list? That’s what seems to happen. As soon as I start working on my own brand, I get busy with client work. When I look at my website and see that my 30-day drawing challenge flopped early in the game. Finding time to do anything “extra” is tough.

Projects In the Groove

So I turn to the wisdom of the late great Steven Wright: “I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.” I can always tell when I’m in a groove because time flies. A project that could take days wraps up in a few hours when I’m in my groove. This creative energy doesn’t happen on command. It’s the kind of energy that shows up after a vacation. Your mind is open and free of all the overwhelming onslaught of information.

Thank You

During this week of Thanksgiving, I am thankful that my work continues to be something I enjoy. I have great clients, and, most of the time, they give me creative freedom. They appreciate fresh ideas. If you’re looking for fresh ideas, contact me. If you’re already a client, my personal thanks go out to you for the work!
