Hi there, First name / friend,

 

As we approach the end of the year, I’ve been thinking a lot about the conversations we’ve had throughout The Creative Gazette in 2025. I am so grateful that you have spent time opening and digesting our newsletters. We've explored an array of topics. Some that I am thinking about right now:

 

Clarity.
Alignment.
Marketing that actually feels human again and less full of digital noise.

 

And as we look ahead to 2026, one thing is clear:

 

 

I just published a new blog breaking down:

If you’ve felt like your marketing has been “fine” but not fully working, this piece will help you zoom out and refocus. A gentle nudge before the new year ;)

 

The winter months are the perfect time to clean things up behind the scenes.

That’s why we created a free Marketing Strategy Audit Checklist — so you can evaluate your brand across every touchpoint and head into 2026 with clarity instead of chaos.

P.P.S: For the past several months, I’ve been making moves in silence.

Not because I wasn’t excited —
but because some ideas need time to breathe before they’re shared.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been building Thespian Travel Company — a theatre-centered travel brand born from a lifelong love of the arts, storytelling, and the kind of experiences that stay with you long after the curtain falls.

This meant late nights shaping the concept.
Designing the brand identity with care.
Writing and rewriting the website until it felt human. 

Building a launch plan rooted in community, not noise.

We’ve quietly soft launched — and now I’m starting to share more openly. Inviting folks in to follow us on social media, explore our new website, schedule travel with our team, and start spreading the news 📰
