This week was all about community. 💙
We just wrapped up SocialEast and the highlight? Meeting HeyOrca customers and newsletter community in person, not just through a screen!
It was extra special to share the stage with Christina Garnett, EMBA and to fly in our Stan Jenn Dixon from Pennsylvania to join us. Both have been such a big part of our journey, and it was amazing to spend time with them in real life.
Huge thanks to Mike Morrison and his team for an incredible event, and shoutout to our Director of Marketing, Jesse Luimes and writer in residence Lysle Hood for bringing that big Orca energy behind the scenes. 🙌
Can’t wait to keep growing together in 2025!

SocialEast Conference 2024 ✔️
It was an incredible experience connecting with fellow marketers from across Atlantic Canada and gaining valuable insights from top social media platforms and creatives.
One of the standout moments was Terry O’Reilly’s keynote on Day 2. Having grown up listening to his radio show- Under The Influence, seeing him live on stage was a full-circle moment! 👏

Last week was an eventful one!
Atlantic Lottery was a proud sponsor of SocialEast and I had the opportunity to attend. Hearing sessions from partners at Reddit, Inc., Meta and LinkedIn were highlights. The presentation by Terry O'Reilly was the cherry on top. Thank you Mike Morrison and his team for organizing this great event.
I also had the opportunity to attend the Ice Awards on Thursday night. Huge congrats to my former colleagues at Discover Halifax, and their agency, Trampoline for taking home some hardware. The lineup of creative was stacked.

"You can't open new locks with old keys."
That's what Terry O'Reilly said (among several other nuggets of wisdom) in this morning's keynote presentation at the
#SocialEast conference.
And that's why I love events like these. A lot of what happens in marketing and communications is finding new solutions to never ending challenges.
I had a fab time at SocialEast and am so grateful for the opportunity to continue learning.
I also got to connect and reconnect with some pretty awesome folks! Special shout out to the team at HeyOrca for making me feel like a part of the pod. Y'all are some pretty great humans and you truly walk the talk when it comes to community connections. 👏🏼

I got a photo with the legendary Terry O'Reilly at SocialEast last week! What an incredible conference with a talented lineup of presenters, including Saint John's own Nicole Vair from Envision Saint John: The Regional Growth Agency . It was so nice to catch up with some familiar faces and chat & meet a bunch of cool new people. I'm still processing & going over notes on everything I learned. This 2 day conference was the perfect mix of tons of fun & fantastic digital marketing information.
Shoutout to Mike Morrison & his team for organizing this epic event!
Photos feature;
1. Terry O'Reilly (Radio host of Under The Influence) & me.
2. Terry was the Keynote speaker.
3. Enjoyed the Harbour Queen networking cruise and chatting with Gillian Palmer & Amanda Morrell from Port Saint John
4 Nicole Vair on stage representing Saint John.
5 Mike Morrison, who brought us all together to learn, share, & connect.

I blinked, and suddenly it’s mid-October! Earlier this month, I had the chance to attend the SocialEast Conference, and I’m still reflecting on the incredible insights and connections I made.
From engaging keynotes to creative workshops, every session offered fresh ideas and inspiration. Whether it was AI strategies, influencer marketing, storytelling, or branding,
#SocialEast delivered on every front.

Earlier this year, Joe Teo shared a list of conferences that Marketers needed to know about. SocialEast was the one I set my eye on, and last week I got to experience Mike Morrison's genius in pulling off this event.
Over 500 exceptional digital marketers and communications professionals got together in Halifax to learn and connect. Even as a newbie, I found so many practical applications that I could take back home and implement. Speakers like Sabaa Quao, MBA and Umair Tazeem continued to answer questions, give advice and encourage me even after they had left the stage. I was impressed, inspired and motivated.
Special shoutouts to:
- Pat Atkins and her amazing team who represented well for Newfoundland and Labrador;
- the HeyOrca Community for hosting a heartwarming meetup with some brilliant minds.
- the vibrant Otni Chinenere whose poise and energy on stage, was outdone by her compassion and wisdom behind the scenes.
Great energy all around. Looking forward to doing it again.

I had the pleasure of speaking at SocialEast by SocialNext this week in beautiful Halifax Nova Scotia. The eastern Canada marketing community is vibrant and continues to innovate in new ways.
Reddit is on an incredible growth trajectory as our ecosystem continues to evolve. No matter what someone is looking for, or how they are looking for it, they often end up on Reddit. If they start with a simple Google search, they find the best answer on Reddit. This translates to incredible opportunities for brands to engage using our powerful advertising solutions.
Huge thank you to Mike Morrison for inviting Reddit to the stage!
It was also nice to spend some quality time with friendly competition - Meredith McKeough and Lindsey Tracey
