Breaking Barriers and Chasing Dreams: The Creative House and Maya Collaboration

In the bustling city of New York, Creative House, a renowned creative agency known for its boundary-pushing initiatives, embarked on a unique collaboration that epitomizes the fusion of creativity and human spirit. In 2022, Maya, an enthusiastic marathon runner from Macedonia with a dream larger than life, approached Creative House with a goal that could make history.

Setting the Pace with a Vision

Maya is not your average athlete; she’s a testament to the spirit of amateur athletes worldwide. Juggling a regular job and a passion for marathons, she has run over a hundred races. Her audacious goal? To complete the world’s six most prestigious marathons—New York City, Tokyo, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, and London—and become the first Macedonian woman to do so. It was a vision that not only demanded physical endurance but also an indomitable will.

The Creative Collaboration

When Maya shared her vision with Creative House, it was met with immediate enthusiasm. Her goal resonated deeply with the values of Creative House, sparking a partnership driven by mutual respect and a shared vision. The challenge was not just to design athletic apparel but to weave Maya’s story and spirit into every thread.

A dedicated team of designers at Creative House took on the task with zeal. They engaged deeply with Maya to understand her motivations, her journey, and what she symbolized. Out of these sessions emerged the slogan “Chasing Dreams,” encapsulating Maya’s relentless pursuit of her goals.

Designs That Tell a Story

Creative House embarked on creating a unique set of designs for each of the six marathons.

After a detailed interview with Maya to capture her spirit and motivations, they crafted the slogan “Chasing Dreams” to encapsulate her journey.

They created over 50 design variations, from which only six were meticulously selected—one for each marathon. These weren’t just clothes; they were symbols of Maya’s journey, crafted to tell her story. Each piece, from hats to leggings, was imbued with the essence of the cities and the spirit of the marathons. Nike Dri-Fit was selected for its quality and suitability for marathon conditions, ensuring that Maya could perform at her best.

A Journey Culminating in London

Maya’s journey culminated spectacularly a few days ago when she crossed the finish line at the London Marathon. With this, she officially became the first Macedonian woman to complete all six major marathons, a testament to her endurance and determination.

Maya – the first Macedonian woman to complete the world’s six most prestigious marathons.

Beyond the Track

Maya’s accomplishment is more than just about running; it’s about breaking barriers and setting new benchmarks. It’s about showing that with passion and perseverance, even the loftiest dreams can be achieved. This collaboration between Maya and Creative House goes beyond the realms of sport—it’s a celebration of human spirit and creativity.

Reflecting on the Impact

This collaboration has been a beacon of inspiration, not only for women but for anyone daring to dream big. It demonstrates that the synergy between a creative agency like Creative House and an individual’s passion can craft narratives that inspire and resonate widely.

Creative House continues to celebrate this remarkable journey, proud to have been part of a story that encourages everyone to keep chasing their dreams, no matter the odds. For Maya, the finish lines were just the beginning. For Creative House, it was a reaffirmation of their commitment to creativity that tells stories, pushes boundaries, and transcends the ordinary. Together, they’ve shown that the journey towards achieving one’s dreams is as significant as the dreams themselves.

HOW TO CREATE AN EXCELLENT COMPANY NEWSLETTER

Email marketing is a common tool used among the digital marketers to engage their customers and to sell products and services. If you know how to create a good newsletter, this free activity will give you several opportunities. But, how you can make sure that people will actually open and read it? Even though e-newsletters are one of the most common types of emails, they are actually some of the hardest things to do it right.

Here are some tips that can help you to create an excellent company newsletter:

Choose the target audience – Don’t just add every email you that collected to your subscribers list. You need to be sure that you are sending the newsletter to the right people. It’s important to engage with the receivers to have them open on the newsletter, read the content and take some actions. You don’t need the “mark-delete” kind of subscribers.

Choose what kind of newsletters that you want to send out – One of the biggest challenges with newsletters is that they’re often very confusing for the customers. They are unfocused if you are sending them every news of your company. You should know that people are not interested in everything of your business. Put yourself in their shoes and think about it: would you like to receive and read about this company Email that you are about to send out? If you don’t have something interesting to say, then don’t send a newsletter at all. In this case, it is always quality over quantity.

Make it less promotional – Yes, you send emails to promote your business. Chances are, your email newsletter subscribers don’t want to hear about your products and services 100% of the time. So, don’t make it 100% promotional. Your subscribers would love to read some educational content, advice, tips & tricks, and interesting facts etc. Otherwise, the constant selling may lead to many unsubscribes from those who are fed up with promotional emails in their inboxes.

Choose relevant images – The more interesting the photos, the more people will scroll the newsletter and continue reading. Include images that are eye-catchy, well designed and of course relevant to your content.

Insert Call-To-Action button – A CTA button is a great way to initiate an action from your customers. You can feature a CTA button on your newsletter that can direct visitors to your business page.

Create an interesting subject lines – The first thing we do in a busy morning, is to take a quick look at the subject of the emails or the headlines of the news websites. Having a worth-reading subject line or title is the first step for people to decide whether to open it or not. The point is, people don’t have much free time to click on every single Email. Choose the subject line wisely.

HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO DRIVE TICKET SALES FOR YOUR EVENTS

How do you get people to spend money and come to your events? One of the best ways to promote an upcoming event is by using social media. Social media platforms can move your ticket sales to the next level and here are some ways of how to do it:

Sharing photos of previous events – People love to see positive experiences and satisfied customers, so they know they are making the right choice about investing money on your next event. The crowd, the happy faces, the comments and shares will lead you to a larger audience  base and eventually generate ticket sales.

Giveaways and contests – Giving something for free is always a good idea for reaching the target audience and promoting your event. You can offer different freebies through simple steps such as by asking people to enter a contest to win free tickets. The shares, the likes, the comments and the tags will really boost your page and event visibility. Show appreciation to other contestants by offering them a special discount for joining the giveaway contest.

Early bird tickets and group discounts – When you give out special benefits, it will be more likely to have people book their spots for the upcoming event. Have at least 2 different types of pricing: early birds and regular tickets. Also, you can offer group discounts for those who will show up with their friends, coworkers, and families etc.

Teaser campaigns – Give a little information that will intrigue your followers and potential attendees. It could be about the special guests, the speakers, the music band or anything that makes the event stand out. People could simply show up at an event because of any single element that attracts them.

Writing blogs – To increase engagement, you can write short but informative blogs based on your event topics. For example, if your event is about promoting a new book, you can write a blog about the author, about the previous books that were published by them, about the meaning of the book title, or about the main character in the book etc.

Live streaming – If you’re organizing more events and this one is going great, use the situation to make the perfect live video. This way, the audience will look out for your future events and follow your social media platforms.

Updating the social media – Don’t forget to constantly update your social media accounts with useful information that is associated with your events by linking directly to the event registration page.

This was a great achievement considering the guest list at such an event, which included such guests as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and other celebrities in the field of fashion, entertainment, politics, film and music.

“First of all I must point out that I am very glad that we are supporters of this gala event, as well as all other activities of “Wines of Macedonia” here in the United States.

Ignoring or deleting them will only make a negative impact of your business.
  3. Posting too often – This can sometimes be irritating and may result in loss of fans and negative comments. Make a balance and plan the content you’re serving. It’s always quality over quantity. Also, make sure you include more engagement and social interaction in your posts.
  4. Not reaching your target audience – Even when you publish the posts in perfect timing, even when it has excellent content, even when you think you do everything right, it’s not worth it if you don’t target the right audience.
