5 Ways to Ruin Your LinkedIn Reputation

Balmon Hyper 1 year ago

Your LinkedIn reputation isn’t entirely fragile. You can make a few mistakes, like hitting publish before editing or adding the wrong link. These are mistakes your audience can look over, as long as they’re not happening all the time.

We’re not talking about the mistakes that turn the grammar police on you or make you facepalm.

We’re talking about the mistakes that ruin your LinkedIn reputation and make your audience unfollow you and never engage with your posts. These are the mistakes that train your audience to assume bad content from you, not only ruining your LinkedIn reputation but your personal brand and company’s reputation too (yikes).

These are easy mistakes to make and just as easy to avoid, which means you have no excuse to make them after reading this article. 

You are allowed to make grammar mistakes, though…because nobody’s perfect.

Heinz Ketchup designs plantable label

Balmon Hyper 1 year ago

Heinz has embarked on an educational campaign to teach customers the true roots of this ketchup empire. Now the origin of “tomato ketchup” seems pretty obvious but in a recent survey Heinz found that most of their consumers “do not believe Heinz ketchup is made of tomato”. 

They decided to contain real tomato seeds in the labels of 300 bottles of their signature sauce. These “plantable” labels will be sold exclusively on Heinz online channels and the pao de açúcar supermarket chain in são paulo.

As an incentive to customers , when they have purchased and grown their very own plant they are encouraged to post a picture of their plant to receive restaurant discounts.

Part of the ’Tomato First’ campaign developed by ad agency Africa in Brazil, the green-fingered promotion celebrates the red ripe tomatoes squeezed into every bottle.

Luana Sa, Heinz Brazil’s brand building manager, explains: “We noticed … Read more

DEI Strategies to Diversify Your Fundraising Approach

Balmon Hyper 1 year ago

Diversifying your donor base has two meanings: to ensure your revenue comes from a variety of sources so that your organization can better weather economic fluctuations, and to ensure your donor base reflects the diversity of your community. By focusing on the second meaning, you get a double benefit: you access more economic opportunities while strengthening your stakeholder base.

The U.S. population is more racially and ethnically diverse now than ever before, creating greater opportunity for nonprofits that can authentically engage more communities in their work. However, many organizations aren’t even sure where to get started, how to benchmark, or how to tie DEI strategies to fundraising success.

I recently had the privilege of moderating a panel discussion with experts in nonprofit fundraising centered around the recently released Everyday Donors of Color report from The Lilly School of Philanthropy. Below is a list of the key findings from the … Read more
