Hi {{first_name}},
Happy Wednesday! Wanted to share what's been going on at Mae'd over the past few months. Discovery calls, client content shoots, last minute changes, and late-night strategy sessions. Here's what we've been up to.
Discovery Calls
Before any work starts, we have a real conversation with every new client. By the time we meet, they've already filled out a brand questionnaire so the call goes deeper than the basics.
We talk through their story, their customers, what's working and where they see themselves in the next year. It's part interview, part therapy session, and always one of the most exciting parts of a project.
Content Shoot Days
Some days involve packing up and heading wherever the shot list takes us. Recently that's looked like some exterior shots to build anticipation for a European bakery's summer opening, a pickleball court lifestyle shoot, and a teaser of merchandise for another client's upcoming boutique opening.
How a brand shows up should reflect who they are, no matter the industry, which is one of the most important parts of building something that lasts. This is where strategy turns into something a client can actually use to drive sales and keep growing.
Mentor Sessions
One of the best decisions since starting Mae'd was connecting with mentors through SCORE, a small business mentorship organization. It’s been a consistent space to pressure-test ideas, ask hard questions, and get honest feedback. Sessions cover everything from pricing structure and new lead channels to sharpening contracts and refining my elevator pitch.
It's also where we’ve connected with the broader small business and entrepreneur community. Hearing how people in completely different industries run their businesses has sharpened the way Mae'd approaches every project.
Client Launch Mode
Recently, Mae'd has been in launch mode for a couple of different clients. From vendor mockups and website updates to social posts and last minute pivots, no two days look the same leading up to a launch. This means clients can focus on what they do best while Mae'd handles what comes next.
This is the flexible and dynamic approach Mae'd was built for, any scope at any stage.
That's the latest from Mae'd, we’ll be in touch.
