Last week, I spoke with a local Edmonton company frustrated with their current web design agency. Despite a sizable investment, they weren’t getting what they expected. When I asked to see the project strategy document, they said there wasn’t one—because the agency never developed one. As we dug deeper, it became clear: the agency hadn’t conducted a proper discovery session. They had dramatically underquoted the project, and the final product fell far short of expectations. At Holler Digital, we know this story all too well, which is why we approach things differently. Every project starts with a paid discovery session, where we: • Build a clear strategy tailored to your goals. • Determine, with 99.9% accuracy, the true cost of delivering on those goals. This ensures no surprises—just clarity, confidence, and results that match your investment. If you’re considering a web design project, don’t skip discovery. It’s the foundation for success. Let’s chat about how we can help.

Benevity is a leading software company that powers corporate giving, volunteering, and grant-making solutions for hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies worldwide, including Google, Apple, The Coca-Cola Company, Microsoft, Nike, and Cisco. Their mission is to create a meaningful impact for recipient charities by connecting them with millions of potential donors through technology and automation. Earlier this year, I proudly announced Shakeout Inc.’s partnership with Merrill Lynch & Bank of America to establish our Endowment. This Endowment aims to provide scholarships for marginalized athletes aspiring to compete at the college level and forgive loans for those who, unlike myself, did not receive a full-ride scholarship. With Shakeout Inc.'s ambitious goals, partnerships with organizations like Benevity are crucial to achieving our mission faster. If your company uses Benevity, I’d love to chat about how your organization can support this impactful initiative in the athletics industry. I will focus on fundraising in 2025, and I am excited to plan for issuing Shakeout’s first scholarships and loan forgiveness grants in 2026! #CorporateGiving #Fundraising #AthleteSupport #Scholarships #LoanForgiveness #ImpactfulInitiatives #Benevity #Shakeout #NonprofitPartnership #EmpowermentThroughSport #SupportingAthletes #MakingADifference

Today, I stumbled upon a great panel discussion on disabilities around the world, hosted by Canada's Chief Accessibility officer, Stephanie Cadieux. Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gj2nvYZq I loved how the panel was made up of representatives from around the world. Each panelist agreed although things were different, they basic problems everyone was solving for was the same, but in learning how each country approaches the problems, best practices and new inspiration arose. ❓ How often do you encounter and intentionally seek ideas outside your usual? Maybe even less now-a-days since we're all subject to algorithm bias these days. 🌍 Some of my favorite work was at dentsu when I lead a content series called #CX around the World to share what different industries were like and how #cognitivebiases are applied in design in the East and West—interviewing my colleagues for their perspectives. My team also created a content series introducing our offices around the world & their cultures to our colleagues, inspired by the idea of learning from others outside our culture. ✅ Since not everyone has an international network or knows where to look, Mintel & Foresight Factory are some of my go-to tools for inspiration & exploring what's going out "out there". They both integrate examples from around the world into their insights & give me a quick start. Do you have any good-go-to resources for learning about #multicultural perspectives? #accessibility #designthinking #inclusivedesign
