That #PepsiHalftime show did not disappoint! Kids looked a lil puzzled as I crip walked down the hall with my airbuds in. 😆

Votes are in! What do you call that surreal moment when you meet someone in person that you've only known via Zoom? #DejaZoom

As evidenced by the short-sleeve button up 👕, borrowed tie and loose collar , I forgot that Firstup was offering new headshots the other day 🤦🏾‍♂️. But a colleague encouraged me to still jump in. I'm glad she did. Though totally unplanned, the caszh look turned out decent 😅.

I'm hiring a marketing associate to help me continue building the Firstup customer community. Looking for someone with a comms background with a marketing mind. Knowledge/appreciation of Duran Duran is preferred. jobs.lever.co/firstup/179d35…

Representation Matters

Camp ICology off to an amazing start! Pinaki Kathiari’s really got us thinking as he presents Local Wisdom’s Comms Maturity Model…and we’re already burning old ideas down. 🔥🔥 #campicology

Firstup’s Rey Bouknight kicks off a session on how to create a kickass onboarding program … which is desperately needed with recruiting A+ talent #campicology

Camp ICology did not disappoint! Thoroughly enjoyed co-facilitating a workshop…but also the overall event was something special. It’s not everyday that you get a The Art Institute of Chicago private tour. Each session was designed with creativity in mind. ⛺️🔥🏕

Next at #DWX22, join Rey Bouknight, Strategy Director at Firstup, and Brodie Bertrand, Vice President of Communications & Public Affairs at @Grainger, to hear real-world examples that will help you drive digital transformation at your company. bit.ly/3MnKpag

#Attune22 kicked off yesterday! Connecting with so many Firstup customers was nothing short of exhilarating. Best part is we’re just getting started. Excited for what the next two days bring!

Today, we unveiled platform enhancements designed to help employers build a more sustainable workforce by reducing the noise bombarding employees and delivering personalized communication at scale. #intelligentcommunications #futureofwork #hr #attune22 bit.ly/3ETslmS

#Attune22 just gets better and better. Jon Acuff kicked Day 2 off and Erica Dhawan closed it out in style. Delighted to contribute a workshop alongside Brittany Barhite and Kyla Shea in between!

And that’s a wrap! It was clear before that Firstup is on an amazing trajectory but it was exhilarating to see the magic we have with our customers on full display at #Attune22. We’re on to something big and it’s exciting to play a part.

I recently stumbled upon a story about my great grandfather and his best friend's lynching. In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, I thought it appropriate to put pen to paper. linkedin.com/pulse/my-great…

It’s just heartbreaking 💔… and to happen in our community 😭.

I've said it before but I'll say it again 📣. Attune '23 is one communications event you don't want to miss 🙌🏾! Join me Sept 26-27 and other speakers, including Juliette Powell and Gary Ware for an event that will change the way you see communications 🚀. attune-summit.com/phoenix23/

Such a beautiful service today in memory of my uncle. #NeverForgotten
