Intermission: links to help you avoid work
Already?! A fun reading list
Hola Mehketeers!!
I said I’d be in your inboxes if I found anything worth sharing… and I’ve racked up like 20 links in my notes already. As we’re all well into Brain Dead December, I hope you find these a good way to kill some time at work but still look busy.
Here’s the top 4 fun links:
This Snoopy x Retrospekt collab has been in my head since I first saw it a few days ago. Retrospekt sells a bunch of old school things but built new - think not just polaroids, but cassette players, VHS, and Game Boys (last minute Christmas gifts??)
See also, the Miffy x Breadtop collab currently on but I think some locations have sold out! I got one from Town Hall last week so it might already be too late for the popular/convenient locations.
Have you heard of the Meatball vs Worm debate? Apparently these are the beloved nicknames of the two iconic NASA logos.
Amid the layoff news, the head designer of Spotify Wrapped broke down how it all happens via It’s Nice That - can you believe they start working on it in June?
Conde Nast Traveller’s top 24 places to go in 2024. Australia punching above it’s weight with two entries (however one of them is Byron Bay so…. side eye)
Side note: I always thought it was the Kimberlys and now I’m learning it’s the Kimberly (no s).
Want a BONUS fifth FUN link??? Take the Mehdeeka Season 6 reader survey!!!
And now for the… work links
Up for reading a McKinsey report? Here’s one on the CEO-CMO relationship with lots of insights on how to build/strengthen it.
I’m out of the loop because this has apparently been available for at least a year, but you can highlight your customers on your LinkedIn page now. Here’s a help article on it.
Ryan Hashemi (who grew the Jubilee channel on Youtube to $50M) wrote a Twitter thread with how they built their content strategy.
Into SEO? You’ve probably already seen it, but here’s a long read about how SEOs unfairly got the blame for “ruining the internet”
- rounded up predictions for social media in 2024
Rob Muldoon shared this example of a product demo video done right for LinkedIn (it’s pretty cool)
A reminder I have my spreadsheet of marketing resources and a more searchable archive of Mehdeeka issues!!
This should keep you “busy” for a while.
Ciao!
