And as such, have been taking some time to really learn the ins and outs of Canva which I am now completely in love with and want to use all day, every day.
At The Art of B, we LOVE what we do, we make sure to encourage each other and put our best person for the job forward. Now is a great time to look inward at your company and see who is passionate about learning new skills and give them the opportunity to do so. With business slowed down due to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s the perfect time to brush up on industry practices and really look into ways you can learn and grow as a company.

Now in its fifth year, SocialWest hosts 850 digital marketers, social media managers and communications professionals in Calgary, Alberta every year. Mike Morrison saw a gap in professional development for Canadians working in digital marketing and social media and started this amazing event. The quality of speakers and attendee experience have been at the core of the conference since the beginning, and the all-star roster of speakers and experiential add-ons continue to set SocialWest apart.
