New Brand Experience for Braswell Family Farms
This brand refresh is more than a visual change; it’s a reflection of Braswell Family Farms’ commitment to evolving, learning, and moving forward. From the humble 19th-century mill purchased by Eugene and Joe Braswell to becoming one of the Mid-Atlantic’s premier specialty egg and feed providers, BFF’s evolution is steeped in wisdom and experience.
Content Chronicles: A Sit-Down with our Newest Intern
by Delaney Kelly
If you’ve been reading the Fresh Tracks blog for awhile, you've probably heard me compare social media marketing to sailing. And even though I've never actually stepped foot on a sailboat, I do understand the importance of… you know… the sail.
For social media marketers, content acts as a sail, steering our strategy through the ever-changing winds of algorithm shifts, consumer psychology, and platform evolutions. And as those changes become more and more frequent, the need for compelling and engaging content has never been more vital.
This Spring, we're thrilled to welcome Maddie Lee onboard as our Chair 8 Content Intern! Armed with the latest trends and a steady filming hand, Maddie brings a unique Gen Z perspective to our team as we chart new waters. To kick off her internship, I sat down with Maddie to hear her thoughts on the future of social media content and her hopes for this position.
Mountainfilm + Fly Fishing Film Tour @ The Rialto
We're teaming up with our friends at Great Outdoor Provision Co. to co-host two film tours over two nights at the Rialto Theatre! This unique event is the first of its kind to be hosted in Raleigh. Each night promises to deliver inspiring films that connect the audience with the great outdoors.
