How Social Media has Redefined Marketing

The world of social media is like ever-shifting sands. No sooner had the world become almost blasé about the global reach that the internet afforded everyone from local school students busking on YouTube to multinational corporations shipping specialist parts to technicians in Africa than we had to figure out the difference between brand ambassadors and influencers.

Gone are the bleak old days of stuffy office decor and felt notice boards crammed with memos—and thank goodness.

Ripples Today, Waves Tomorrow?

The Growing Presence of the Small Bank

Joining tiny, online-only banks is a growing trend amongst Gen Zs and Gen Ys. In fact, just as this writer came to think that using ‘indie banking’ to describe these small online banks could be an over-extension of its original use—for independent moviemakers and musicians—I discovered an app of the same name offering banking solutions to gig workers. Enough said.

RNOW, Inc.

While the sparkling cities of the United States may be the envy of many municipalities and citizens around the world, the cleanliness can often be tougher to achieve than many people may realize. That is because basic sanitation and service delivery partially hinge on specialized heavy-duty vehicles that make it possible to remove refuse and keep a general sense of order in urban areas. In North America, standards are high as droves of committed residents work day and night to keep it that way.

Women’s Work

How Is It Changing?

“For the times, they are a-changin’,” Bob Dylan sang, and times seem to be changing fast. It has been pointed out that 1970 is as far away from 2022 today as it was from 1918 – exactly fifty-two years. Life was vastly different for everyone, but especially for women, in the early twentieth century compared to the technological boom times following 1970. Though much has changed with regard to equality in the workplace, the challenges remain significant, yet not without hope.

City of Brockton, MA

At first glance, the City of Brockton looks much like one of many leafy, green cities in the American northeast that are shaking out their feathers after the stresses of COVID-19. But, since meeting with three of its inspiring leaders, I am stuck on the theme song from the 1980s box office sensation, Rocky Balboa’s Eye of the Tiger – and the rich texture that this homespun community of almost 106,000 residents has created for itself – despite the global hardships of recent years.
