This is an example of integrated marketing at work. If you’re interested in presenting a cohesive, consistent brand experience that leaves your products or services top-of-mind — like Southwest does — this […]

What is Business Casual in 2023? Give Your Office Outfit a Gut Check
I remember my first internship — more specifically, its dress code, which left me googling, “What does business casual mean?” Then, I took a shopping trip for blouses, comfortable slacks, and sensible flats to replace my sneakers. During the tech boom in 1990, many tech companies opted for more laid-back, innovative workwear. This led to the origin of what’s known as “business casual attire.” Soon, other industries and businesses followed, acknowledging the importance of employee comfort over the traditional formality of office wear. But what exactly is business casual attire? Though the term is mostly ambiguously defined, there are some […]

Was it Written by AI? How You Can Tell, According to HubSpotters
In school, I learned the basics of good writing — keep it short, concise, and grammatically correct. By that definition, AI-written content should be good, right? Yet, when I play around with tools like ChatGPT, I notice a few red flags. Sure, it’s grammatically correct, but it gives off serious “corporate speak” vibes. It follows a logical sequence, but it often goes on lengthy tangents. And while its responses may be accurate, it often lacks a unique perspective. This isn’t to suggest AI-written content is inherently bad. But if you plan to leverage AI for content creation, it’s important to know […]
