We got to launch many projects, drive numerous campaigns and work alongside extremely dedicated and talented people! In this post, I would like to look back at some of the most fun and exciting things that we worked on this year… and of course thank those who made it all possible.

Intent

I couldn’t be more grateful for Intent reaching out and inviting me to take part in the project that was as ambitious as it was vital to Canada today. SMM Headquarters provided social media support and advertising expertise for I Am a New Canadian, an initiative by COSTI. The artwork by Hans Poppe remains the visual highlight of the year for me!

We continue our collaboration with Intent. A major ongoing project for Rainbow Health Ontario stands out the most, but the shorter-term work we have done for the Ontario Caregiver Organization is no less significant for us.

Holistic Medical Clinic

SMM Headquarters’ client since April 2019, Holistic Medical Clinic has some of the most dedicated and compassionate healthcare professionals in the paramedical field. The clinic owners trust our expertise completely and listen very closely, which is definitely not an everyday occurrence in the hot digital marketing business!

We have made considerable progress on all digital fronts and will continue developing the clinic into the leading health and physiotherapy centre in Toronto.

Beaches BJJ

A place near and dear to my heart, the small martial arts dojo in the Beaches has been home to the highest-quality karate, kickboxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu instruction in Toronto since 2003. This year, we joined forces with the club owner Mark to promote the Brazilian jiu-jitsu program and grow the club membership overall.

Happy to report it’s already been kicking ass, pun intended!

Costa Brava Maniacs

A deeply-researched and lovingly illustrated online portal dedicated to the stunning Costa Brava region in Spain relies on SMM Headquarters for community management, organic page growth, editorial guidance, and copy-writing.

The photos alone are enough to make you forget that this is work!

In 2020, I would like to see CBM grow even faster than in 2019.

Thank you, everyone.

I am grateful and humbled for all the support that my company and I have received this year. No one can work in a vacuum and very few can produce great work alone. I am definitely not one of those lucky people. Collaboration, discussion, leaning on others’ expertise all make up the success that is attributed to the select few.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to my clients past and present, for being part of SMM Headquarters’ journey. We are honoured to serve you and we hope to continue for years to come.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy New Decade to all!

The subject of the workshop wasn’t chosen by accident. Privacy in the digital space is an increasing concern of mine. The workshop will focus on account access levels and privacy settings individual users can control, but I take the most issue with how data is handled by the platforms themselves.

Action against Facebook abuses has to start with an understanding of the urgent importance of privacy at all levels! So this workshop is an exciting opportunity to teach what I know and love. I am stoked to see who attends and how I can help them to feel more in control of their data on Facebook and Instagram.

Details of the workshop are here. The event is open to all, with no registration required. Shoot me an email if you’ve got questions!

2017 was all about getting started, putting processes in place, acquiring the first few clients. The year 2018 was supposed to be the year of growth, in its most general sense. And it definitely was! In 2018, the growth of SMMHQ was measured not only by a larger client base and growing revenue but also by the increasing complexity of the business and the wider scope of client requirements and goals.

2018 was about learning to say goodbye to processes that have outlived their usefulness and about putting new ones in place. It was also about closing down some projects to say yes to the new ones. It was most certainly about levelling up my skills and growing as a marketing professional (which I am planning to do every year!).

As the founder of SMM Headquarters, I am eternally grateful for all these opportunities to learn, to expand my professional horizons, and to make the business work. Ultimately, it is all about one goal and one goal only — to serve those who make SMM Headquarters possible and serve them better. I am so happy to see my clients grow and succeed. It is a privilege to play a part in this success.

So thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for this year, everyone. Here’s to 2019 and to continue improving and growing together!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Katya Ryabova
SMM Headquarters founder
