‘Tis the season for our next Juxt Learn Webinar. We will focus on all in-house and client-facing communication regarding the holidays! Every year as year-end sales and holiday parties creep into our clients’ calendars, the aJuxt Troupe is faced with communicating with a variety of their vendors, clients, and employee audiences. Authentic communication only takes place after blunt management discussions about DEI. Our panel guests will illuminate an authentic path forward. Carla Rojas is an HR consultant who focuses on helping clients build high-performing teams and empowering leaders to lead equitably. Shireen Soliman comes to our discussion from decades of visual communication, design, and advocacy work for inclusivity representation. Together our panel will tackle your questions as well as topics such as:
- Is a “Happy Festivus” post on social media brand appropriate?
- Are “holiday bonus” structures dated? Is there a more inclusive approach?
- Should my office send holiday cards?
- Is saying “holiday” even PC in 2023?
- Does the language and imagery circulated in holiday memos and marketing campaigns reflect your company values, the people who work for your brand, and the clients you serve? Who is being left out?
Don’t worry, we won’t let you leave with more questions than actionable items. Our panel will provide you with discussion points for your marketing and your management teams to brainstorm around after this session. Don’t wait! Space is limited – register below!
