Did you do a retrospective of the past year and find yourself both excited and anxious for the year ahead? Us too.  
 
As we look into 2022, three words we’re taking with us are focus, integrity, inspiration. 
 
FOCUS. 
If you’re someone with an audience, fans, or customers, you know that addressing their needs is paramount to growth. Like any relationship, you’ve got to stay engaged. What areas can you focus on this year that will help your audience feel seen? 
 
INTEGRITY. 
There’s enough noise crowding our minds and our feeds. Your audience needs your truth, and they are looking to you to be your most authentic self. What impact will the decision you’re about to make have on the folks you care about most? Does your audience really need what you are trying to sell them? 
 
INSPIRATION. 
It is safe and easy to stay in the ruts of your past, and that’s sure to give you more of the same you’ve come to expect. When was the last time you were inspired? How has that come through in the way you communicate with your audience? Inspiration is like the flow of blood, and exercise is the only way to know every part of your being is getting fresh oxygen. What risks and curiosities do you need to pursue to inspire yourself, your team, and your audience? 
 
So, this is the new year. What words are you taking with you?

AMOU 2021 In Review   
   
As the year comes to a close, there is so much we can be grateful for. I thought I would take a moment to review because a lot has happened.    
   
First, let’s step back a bit and talk about 2020 for a moment. While the world was shutting down, we were grateful to be in a position to steadily serve a couple of companies as they pivoted to better serve the growing group of remote workers. While there was visual work done, a lot of the work provided ended up being behind-the-scenes brand, marketing, and sales strategy work. I cannot thank the teams at Indeed and Wistia enough for those opportunities. It was working with them that brought about focus for the future and our eventual name change to All Manner Of Us.   
   
As 2021 was beginning, the first quarter was likely what many experienced during Q2 of 2020. We used this as an opportunity to refine our internal structure and processes. As more and more people were getting back to work, so did we. We tackled work across the board from consulting to branding, strategy, copywriting, web design, photography, film, print, etc. It felt great to work with clients who were reinvigorated after an exhausting 2020. Their joy filled us with joy.   
   
We wouldn’t be anyone without the US in All Manner Of Us. The people who make up our project teams and growing list of collaborators, our clients, the people who refer us out to their friends and colleagues, and our peers have been absolutely incredible. Y’all make us better.   
   
I want to say, in no particular order, a special thanks to , , , , , , , , , , . Y’all helped carry the light for us this year.   
   
Truly, thank you.   
   
If you’re curious about what it would look like to work together, we’re currently looking for and vetting new partners and projects for 2022. You can get in touch via DM, via email at [email protected], or via the link in our bio.   
   
See you in the new year.   
✌🏻
