Why am I being notified that someone "posted for the first time in a while"? Low effort should be cause for shame, not celebration. GET BACK TO WORK.

Solid advice, for fellow creative professionals.

Overcome Creative Burnout: Here’s the only advice you need.

Dealing with burnout is something I get asked about at least once a week. However, I was sparked to share my only piece of burnout advice with you, after a video I saw on the subject from an artist/YouTuber.

The video offered a number of ways to overcome creative burnout.

- It was generic advice.
- No sources were given.
- There was no mention that if we feel burnt out, we should speak with our doctor.
- No mention that it could be a sign that we have a thyroid problem, a vitamin deficiency or even that it could mean we’re suffering from depression.

My only piece of creative burnout advice
Burnout is an occupational phenomenon, often known as work-related stress. It’s not a creative-specific thing.

Creative professionals have experienced it. But so have bus drivers, attorneys, clowns, chefs and those in every other occupation.

Don’t ask any of us for this type of advice. We’re as unqualified as everyone else, when it comes to diagnosing or treating burnout.

Instead, follow a safe, treatment pathway
Speak with your doctor. They can provide you with the appropriate tests and if necessary, medication.

Depending on the results after your consultation with the doctor, you may then be advised to meet with a psychologist, psychotherapist or psychiatrist.

The immediacy of answers from YouTube, free of charge, makes YouTube (or high-ranking websites) an attractive option for us when we want advice.

But we need to remember that regardless of how many likes, subscribers or views someone has, unless they’re qualified, experienced, medical professionals, we should never take medical advice from them.

Marketing Is Dead 😵

What we all knew as marketing, is pretty-much dead.

It was designed for a world that no longer exists.

It's no longer fit-for-purpose.

Here's what you need to know.

One thing I like about X is you know where you stand.

Weaknesses: full of people earning money from X, for posting hate to polarise people, boost engagement & get paid.

Strengths: it's where news breaks. It's where you can connect with important people.

But at least we know.

AMF is betting big on that “newstalgia” with a sweeping brand refresh with DoBad spanning its socials and in-venue look: a retro midcentury-modern redesign, red-forward updated logo, new tagline, and revamped locations like the reopened Thunderbowl Lanes near Detroit. https://t.co/CYAsUgQUIw

[BrandGully @BrandGully]

Everyone’s been bandwagoning on the idea of photographing live visuals off a TV screen the last couple of weeks, after photographer Florence Pernet’s work during the World Cup went viral.

#Loewe hopped on the last train out yesterday, with its own series of pictures after Spain’s win. Likely the first and perhaps only brand to do so. But sadly without even a passing mention of Florence or before her, Matthew Johnson actually, whose work really helped bring this aesthetic into the spotlight. That’s a choice.
