March Solstice: The 21st Agency Newsletter

We hope you’re reading this from a ski resort, amusement park, or other dewy vacation spot.  All our office “house plants” are enjoying the extra working hours of sunlight - and the team has been in FULL overhaul mode with a jam-packed month.  

Check out what the last days of Q1 ushered in… 🤟🏼

What We’ve Been Up To

SPRING BREAK CONFERENCE 

Last week, our CEO attempted to have her own Spring Break in the bustling town of Myrtle Beach, SC, at the Restaurant Franchise Innovation Summit.  We met up with some old partners and clients and made some great new restaurant friends.   

Shoutout to some exciting new possible partner brands: Ziggy Coffee, Crazy Pita, Swigg, ClusterTruck, KeKe’s Breakfast Cafe, and Woworks Brands.

WE’RE HIRING 🌱

Once again, the team is expanding.  Our team is seeking a creative, hard-working, organized Social Media Manager.  You’ll get to work with top-notch talent (obviously) and high-growth brands.  And - you can even pick the Spotify station of the day.

If you know of anyone OR YOU ARE ONE, we want you.  Apply now!

While you’re here, join the herd on LinkedIn.  We’re blowing up!

GRAND OPENING 🚨

Our client, Bricks & Minifigs, is now opening its SECOND location in Brandon.  If you’ve got a hampering for Lego Sets…. Don’t miss this one.  It’s gonna be EPICCCCC. 

We also recycled this classic video of Brittany promoting their Founder’s Club.  If you click on nothing else, don’t skip this post.

NEW LAUNCH 🚀

We just launched a fresh round of paid ads for Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, focusing on their best in Tampa grooming, gourmet dog treats, and premium pet products. These campaigns are optimized to drive engagement and conversions, reaching pet owners who want the best for their furry friends. Stay tuned for performance updates as we refine and scale the strategy!
