June marks the halfway point of the year and is perfect for reflective posts, with highlights like World Environment Day and End of Financial Year (EOFY).

The key isn’t posting for the sake of it - it’s choosing the dates that genuinely align with your values, audience and voice.

Inside our latest blog, we break down:
• Why each of these dates matters
• How your business could approach them
• Simple content angles you can adapt to suit your brand

Because strategic content always performs better than reactive content.

👀👀👀 Look out! For Professional Dashboard layout changes. Some of our accounts have now rolled out the new look dashboard.

That's the one you log into to schedule your posts to your calendar.

Don't freak out! Take a breath..... and think about what you already know about your Planner being a calendar.

Keep breathing..... it's just the view that has changed for you - when it happens for your business.

When you arrive to the changed layout, give yourself a minute to read and take in the blue pop-up explainer bubbles too. These always help when something new arrives.

Please note - this is only within your Meta professional dashboard for the moment. Swap all the way into your Meta Business Suite Scheduler to avoid this for now.

However, we expect some of these changes will roll out elsewhere.

💙 May the force be with you!

As always the annual DigniTea in Brisbane was a delight to attend, and our table enjoyed the high tea delights, atmosphere and educational insights brought by the guest speakers and Founder Rochelle Courtenay.

Plus, Share the Dignity put on a dance party to celebrate the final event to ever be held in the Victoria Park Marquee! And Amanda took home yet another grand prize from the event, needing Ebony to help cart out the winnings 😆
