I'm not crying, you're....actually, I am bawling!

Zoe Amar: Disintermediation is a wake-up call for our sector It’s changing how people interact with charities and we must act now

Ever heard of disintermediation?

AI is changing how people find charities, reducing website traffic and trust.

In @thirdsector.co.uk, @zoeamar.bsky.social explores this shift with insights from our Digital Marketing Strategist, Dominika Cechova

#AI #CharityDigital

this is how I've always seen it. And on the international stage, Aus already have their own version so I feel it will help us keep pace with them.

TLDR; if trends continue, your nonprofit can expect Meta ad costs to inc. 14%+ in 2025, which means your campaigns have to perform 14%+ better just to stay standing-still. A CRO project could get you back on the front-foot.

oh, why? This has reminded me to get my friend to take me to her gym which has around 10 saunas and steam rooms.

Saunas are definitely a trend..Me and my PT talk about them a lot and I saw an old friend has built his own out of cork!

Most of my feed is The Guardian at the moment. Not the end of the world but would like to fill it with humans. Who should I follow? Interests:

netball, dogs, human behaviour and wellbeing, living with less, marketing, contemporary fiction (particularly by women)

@sophsportstats.bsky.social hey thanks for the follow..I have a friend called Ed from Dunedin, it was nice to be reminded of him by seeing your profile ☺️

this looks really fun! I'll try to come along

4 from 6...who needs tidy

Leanne is bundled up in a parka and teal hat taking a selfie of her and her little brindle lurcher. He's wearing a jumper with covered legs. They're walking in a park half covered in snow.

On today's agenda:

Social posts for client 1 morning - in progress
Dog walk
Upper gym session (with PT so no shirking)
Finish UX tender evaluations
Website copywriting
Tidy downstairs

Adding dog walks is kind of cheating as I do them rain, snow or shine.

A LinkedIn post from Associate Creative director Kate O'Connor features an image of the new curvy Jaguar logo on it's cerise gradient-style background. She's written "Say what you want about the Jaguar rebrand, I for one will now exclusively be buying my vibrators from them"

Linkedin gets a bad rep, but there is some very incisive brand commentary going on over there right now...

4 out of 5, got too stuck into the website copy and skipped gym. Rolled it over to tomorrow ☺️

awww yeah, she's gorgeous. He really loves the lady whippets!!

She's a cracker. How long do you have them for?

Today's to-do list:

- Morning of meetings and social post/brief writing for client 1 ✅
- Dog walk
- Gym, upper session
- 2x UX tender evaluations
- Half day website copywriting for client 2

Let's go!

(pinched this idea from @fenikki.bsky.social for accountability)

omg your bulldog's eyes on the second pic 😆. Is your other dog a lurcher or full whippet? And names please?

such a good colleague!

Mitch, a small brindle whippet cross is wearing a jumpsuit. The top half is racing green with single black stripes on either side from neck to leg. The fleece ends two thirds of the way down his back.The back part is black jogger bottom-style legs

Mitch's snow day outfits day 2. I call this one his sporty look.

Racer green fleece top with black stripes with full front legs and attached black jogger bottoms at the back - fierce.

A screenshot of a mobile device's accessibility settings screen. The screen shows options for alt text, media, and haptics. Under alt text, there are options to require alt text before posting and display larger alt text badges. Under media, there is an option to disable autoplay for videos and GIFs. Under haptics, there is an option to disable haptic feedback.

This is the setting you need if you want to make alt text a requirement on Bluesky.

Lots of free AI tools will automatically generate alt text for you.

But it also doesn't take long to write.

thanks, that's super handy!

Two men stand against a wall in black and white. Their arms touch. Neal Cassady, the shorter of the two, leans slightly to the left. Jack Kerouac has one hand in his pocket. Over the image is text 'Jack Kerouac, On the Road'. At the bottom on the left is text 'modern classics', to the right is the Penguin logo in an orange oval frame.

are you looking for any particular skills for the team or people to be in the show?

A dark street pavement covered in fresh snow, beside it to the left are cars also snow covered and to the right are snow topped walls.

Mitch, a small brindle whippet cross stands in a yellow fleece designed for his breed. It has a polo neck and front legs that taper around the bottom

Virgin snow and the first outing of the season for Mitch's yellow fleece. It's definitely winter #DogsOfBlueSky
