    An Illustrated Future : The New Magical Era of Branding your Business

    Online

    “Your business needs to use illustration.” “Hmm, I don’t know about that—why would you think that?” “Because illustration, at its core, is the ability to create something out of nothing. That’s magic! And who doesn’t want their brand to feel like they’re the magical ones compared to their competitors who are floating in a sea of sameness.” –Illustration as a visual medium is the ability to create something out of nothing. It can be expressed in any number of ways, from editorializing a blog post—to a technical rendering of a product—to your brand story posted on social media. It can be anything! And more importantly, it can be 100% customized to express what your company does so well and what it can do to build a better future. So the big question is—why is illustration not as popular of a visual tool compared to options like photography, stock imagery or user generated content? ‘Illustration’ has a reputation that is often described as juvenile, cartoony or receives the oh-so-familiar reception of, “it’s just not part of our brand”. It can be! With a confluence of creativity and courage, it can be something much, much more than its historical reputation. It’s time […]

    Barriers & challenges facing the 2SLGBTQ+ community in the tech industry

    Nova Scotia, Canada

    Creating an open and inclusive work environment that attracts and retains diverse talent has never been more essential to remain competitive. 2SLGBTQ+ people working in markets across Canada experience various workplace cultures and barriers to inclusion unique to this population. Despite progress toward wholly inclusive and diverse workplace environments, more must be done regarding stigmatization, higher risk of harassment, intersectionality, and lack of visibility, especially for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) people. This webinar aims to increase awareness and understanding of the challenges and barriers facing members of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities in the workplace and to provide practical steps for creating more inclusive and supportive work environments. 3 Key Takeaways.. The term 'Pride' represents a way of embracing one's identity, turning away from shame, and honoring diversity. Many individuals who experience discrimination based on their sexual orientation, race, religion, or ethnicity are forced to mask their true selves on a daily basis. This can drain their energy and limit their potential in the workplace. Allyship is crucial. This means engaging with local communities and taking action, such as normalizing the use of pronouns at work, offering gender-affirming healthcare benefits, and reviewing policies to ensure they're inclusive for everyone.  Meet your […]
