@meetgranola This isn't OK for paid subscribers on a machine that's been using Granola for months, with no notice, in the middle of a work day.

@Viaplay_SE considering the massive price increase, endast arenaljud is absolutely unacceptable for anything you broadcast.

@LumaHQ Hey guys, at the event page layouts that are on your "What's new" page no longer available?
The new square format isn't customisable for us, so wondering how we get the old larger format style as we can't find it in the settings.

Thanks!

@aisolopreneur Some really helpful tips here - looking forward to putting them into action after the summer vacation!

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

@TypeForVictory This is so inspiring! Can’t wait to see what you point your brain toward next.

As part of our work designing circular business initiatives with @ikea, we designed these little stickers that follow every second-life product globally, through the remainder of its journey, allowing traceability through repair, restock, resell, repeat. #circular #ikea #branding

I’m not understanding all the heat towards @tonyromo - I actively watch games I’m not interested in just to get his insight… Why the negative press all of a sudden? #nfl

@IanPanchevre @KyleSamani @semil Think about a 3 point demon coming in young and becoming a superstar. With a whole generation idolizing Steph we’re seeing the 3 more and more… Someone is bound to come in with a high usage and a long career and be able to get near.

@masonlondon Still got it.

Are you still in Stockholm mate?

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

@robably__ From my experience at least.

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

@robably__ Not a freelancer, but as an agency owner, another angle to this is the payoff. Generally companies or customers that fill out website forms are more serious and conversion is better, also usually a larger project. LinkedIn or web chat etc rarely converts at the same scale.

@EannaKelly1 We deal with this on a daily, and it’s a great exercise to list out the intro line of 5-10 competitors and ask our client point out who’s who.
Not exactly an ah-ha moment, but it definitely opens the discussion to brevity and clarity in comms.

More? Ideas?

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

I’ve been thinking about putting together a manual to help #startups leverage #branding in their pressed to #seed transition. Outline below, but would it be useful?

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

5: Pitch
Deck templates and tips.
Workable figma / keynote files for the less “design” friendly team to work from.

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

4: Cross touchpoint
Creating a holistic view of brand from product to pitch.

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

3: Practical resources
Mandatories list on what needs producing, colours, typography… the basics.

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

2: Positioning and foundation.
Exercises on how to define your “Why?” and “Who we are”

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

1: Naming
Tips on choices, “pivotability”, competitor checks, SEO checks, TM checks. Also some resources like exercises on how to get to a name in the first place.

[Ryan Waring @ryanwaring]

Firstly, the reason to give this info away, as someone who sells it usually. Pre-seed can rarely afford agency services, and we need all potentially climate positive options to break through…
