We have had a lot of questions from clients and friends lately about what this new Google page experience update is all about. "How will it affect my business?" "Do I need to spend more time on SEO updates?" "What can I do to make Google happy?"... So we wanted to break it down in a blog post for anyone else who might be curious, too.

It is a William Joseph tradition to decorate our offices each year for Christmas. This six-foot wooden soldier was purchased our first year in business and we have been collecting pieces ever since, each with special memories. Even though 2020 has had its challenges and most of our staff are still working from home, this was one tradition we were sure to keep alive! #WJChristmas #HolidayTradition

Meet Melissa! Alberta University of the Arts alumna and self-proclaimed "name that font" expert, Melissa joins the WJ Creative team as an experienced Art Director. Though obviously talented on paper (or rather, computer), it was her witty sarcasm and self-starter qualities that we knew made her a great fit for our team culture the same thing that drew her to William Joseph Communications, too. She's a true Calgarian, spending much of her time hiking, enrolling in mountainee...r courses, or otherwise enjoying the great outdoors. (Fun fact: she's a seasoned fly fisher and has plans to build her own custom fly rod this winter). Oh, and if you need a conversation starter, ask her about whose signature she has tattooed on her arm (Hint: ). Help us welcome Melissa to the team by saying hello in the comments below! #MeetTheTeam #MarketingAgency #YYC

Happy birthday, William Joseph Communications! 18 years ago, the little marketing agency with big dreams was born. With a knack for genuine relationship-building and compelling story-telling, Ryan (William) Townend and his business partner Tim (Joseph) Beingessner decided to start up their own small advertising firm out of their basement suite in Calgary, Alberta. Office space in the PetroCanada tower was quickly acquired (check out these #throwbacks from 2003!), before then ...moving to Eau Claire, the neighborhood where we have been located ever since. Now with 14th floor views, 25 staff members, 5 locations, and hundreds of diverse clients helped along the way, we are more excited than ever to take on the future and expand into new markets. Who is with us?! #MarketingYYC #MarketingAgency #CanadianCompany #CommunicationsAgency #18YearsinBusiness #ThrowbackThursday

For those who leave never to return. For those who return but are never the same. We remember. Unknown #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget

"You have to create a brand that's authentic to your culture. People want to have a glimpse into your reality". Ryan speaks to the importance of intentionally building a meaningful company culture and how it should translate in your brand on his latest Global News ADvice segment. Take a watch! #CompanyCulture #Branding #MarketingADvice

What is work culture? Some think of it as a function of HR or what happens on the periphery of real work. Others think team movie nights and birthday celebrations (though those are fun, too!). But culture is much more than that. Your culture is your brand. Read more about its importance in any winning organization at: http://ow.ly/n0Kv50BL6RG

As the world shifts to support students’ online learning, the inequity gap is growing quickly. Children with little or no access to devices and/or internet are being left behind. Enter: The Horizon Project. A hands-on educational package requiring no internet access, the project was recently launched by Let's Talk Science to provide vulnerable Canadian children in grades 4-6 with access to STEM and literacy resources. The packages are being distributed to various centers, aim...ing to reach 75,000 youth, including over 8,000 Indigenous youth! We are happy to spread the word about such inspiring Canadian organizations, and invite you to check out more about this forward-thinking initiative at: https://letstalkscience.ca/horizon #LetsTalkScience #STEMLearning #CanadianOrganization
