Generate Creative Consulting

It's the start of the holiday season, which means tons of small businesses are running giveaways, contests and promotions on their social media accounts. These can be a great way to give back to your loyal customers and reach new audiences. BUT business owners need to review the guidelines Facebook has around running promotions from your pages or groups to make sure you aren't risking the work/time you've put into growing your community for a contest post. Mainly because the changes are so easy to make to do it the right way! There are some excellent suggestions of how to run Facebook promotions the right way in the link below, and you can find Facebook's policies directly here: https://www.facebook.com/policies/pages_groups_events/

When two of your clients (Hemmings House Pictures and Kefi Travel) go on a trip together to #Greece, you gotta stay on top of what time it is for them to communicate effectively. Real high tech method.

We just had the opportunity to present during a lunch and learn session with the St. Stephen Area Chamber of Commerce. It was a great session speaking about the initial strategy questions and decisions businesses need to think about before getting started in the online and social media space. We're happy to share the recording here for anyone who couldn't attend.

Great getting the chance to speak last night at Startupsj's Startup Stories as a last minute stand-in. Awesome meeting some passion folks and being able to throw in some shout outs to Hemmings House Pictures and Kefi Travel Club. #alltheswag

WE'VE MOVED! HELLOOOO Saint Stephen, New Brunswick!! When I (Genevieve Coates) started at Radian6 nearly ten years ago, what immediately made me enjoy the work with social media, digital marketing and technology overall was the sense of community that I could see forming in our office and our online communities. The online space can feel very anonymous and distant to many people so I can understand why that may sound a bit odd. However, the kind of marketing and technology us...e that I have built my business around focuses on not viewing the online space as a distant or anonymous landscape, but rather a place to build a community to help non-profit or small business efforts. I see Technology in that same light. Not something that overrules or gets rid of the old ways of doing things or removes the hands-on human element, but can help improve business processes and make people’s lives easier. For me, my business the last three years has focused on building community, sharing creativity and providing advice on the right technology options that are available to accomplish these goals. My work over the last three years has literally taken me all over the province and I’ve also worked remotely on some projects as well, which I has allowed me to make a personal choice that reinforces my love of a strong community by being able to move back to my hometown, St. Stephen, N.B. Personally, this is a move that gets me closer to my family and allows me to be part of a community I’ve always loved. Professionally, it doesn’t change too much for the business of Generate Creative. We will continue to service New Brunswick and the broader Atlantic Canadian landscape and hope to continue to make an impact in helping more businesses and non-profit find further success.
