On March 24th, we hosted another exhilarating edition of our signature “Gaming Series” event, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Gamers from all walks of life converged at our venue, bringing their A-game and adding a vibrant touch of cosplay to the mix. It was truly an immersive experience, filled with camaraderie, competition, and, of course, delicious treats courtesy of our sponsor, Burrito Boarder.

Cosplay, Connections, and Competition

Attendees turned up in impressive cosplay attire, embodying their favorite characters and adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. Cosplay has always been an integral part of our gaming community, and it was fantastic to see some embrace their creat.ivity and express their passion for gaming in such a unique way.

But it wasn’t just about the costumes; our “Gaming Series” events are also about fostering connections and building friendships among fellow gamers. Throughout the day, players bonded over their shared love for gaming, exchanging tips, strategies, and memorable gaming moments. It’s these connections that truly make our events special and reinforce our mission to empower the community through creat.ivity.

Sponsor Spotlight: Burrito Boarder & Infinity Con

One of the standout moments of the event was undoubtedly the delicious offerings from our community partner, Burrito Boarder. Attendees couldn’t stop praising the mouthwatering burritos, which became an instant hit. Leading up to the event, Burrito Boarder even delighted gamers with complimentary chips and queso for those who signed up in-store, amplifying the excitement for the day. Additionally, Infinity Con heightened the excitement by generously providing the tournament winner with a weekend pass to their upcoming annual event.

Get ready to embark on an epic gaming journey with the Smash Mario Bros Tournament at Creat.ors Gaming Series, happening on March 24th!

In a vibrant display of local talent and community spirit, recently married artists Cosby and Sarah Painter Hayes, collectively known as “Painter Hayes,” opened their hearts and art to the public at the “Pop-Up at the Co-Op” event. Held at the Community CoopMarket, this unique gathering showcased the couple’s artistic endeavors, inviting the community to explore and connect with their creat.ions.

Visitors flocked to the event, immersing themselves in the captivating world of Painter Hayes. Each piece of art served as a conversation starter, allowing attendees to share personal stories of resonance with the artists. The exchange of enthusiasm and appreciation between visitors and the creat.ive duo creat.ed an atmosphere of shared connection and inspiration.

What made this event even more heartwarming was that Sarah Painter Hayes chose to celebrate her 30th birthday by hosting the gathering. Embracing her passion for art, she welcomed the community to join in the celebration of both her milestone birthday and the artistic journey she shares with her husband.

Surprisingly, many attendees had never set foot in the Community CoopMarket before, but the event served as a compelling introduction. The love and support shown for the local creat.ive community during “Pop-Up at the Co-Op” encouraged visitors to explore the CoopMarket further, fostering a newfound connection between the community and the market.

Notable among the attendees was President RJ and his two sons, who not only expressed their genuine interest in supporting the artists but also encouraged them to expand their reach through online platforms. Subsequently, RJ and his sons subscribed to the couple’s YouTube channel, showing a commitment to fostering and promoting local artistic endeavors.

As Painter Hayes embarks on their journey to reach a goal of 50 subscribers this month on YouTube, the artists extend their gratitude to everyone who attended “Pop-Up at the Co-Op.” They invite others to join them on their creat.ive journey, urging the community to follow their adventures on YouTube. In doing so, they aim to creat.e a broader platform for local artists while fostering a sense of unity and appreciation within the community.

Hey there, creat.ive minds! If you missed out on the recent “Boost Your Business Seminar” hosted by Cumulus Media, don’t worry—I’ve got the inside scoop for you! 🚀

Teylor Parks, the force behind the local wellness haven “Breathe In Color” and a local artist, represented Cumulus Media well as she took the stage to share her wisdom on growing brands and businesses. Not only did she sprinkle the crowd with inspiration, but she also unveiled a treasure trove of tips and resources for local business to access.

Many attendees were relieved to discover that the event wasn’t just a solo act. The Capital City Chamber of
Commerce (CCCC) made a dynamic entrance with President Katrina Tuggerson and her team, teasing us with exciting future projects. Rumor has it, the “Creat.ors” are gearing up to collaborate with CCCC and Cumulus Media on some hot summer initiatives at “The Creat.ors Summit.”

But let’s dive into the real nuggets of wisdom shared. Who knew Cumulus Media offered more than just radio ads? We didn’t! As we discovered the plethora of services Cumulus offers, we noticed that many attendees shared our surprise and I quote, “I didn’t know Cumulus did websites too,” a statement frequently made amongst attendees.

Here’s a rapid-fire roundup of the essentials:

1. Googlebility is Key:
Claim your Google Business Profile (GBP) because, let’s face it, 60% of people decide to work with a business based on it. Your Googlebility is your business’s first impression—make it count!

2. Reviews Rule the Roost:
With 97% of people checking reviews before jumping into business, it’s time to up your review game. Increase and respond to reviews, both negative and positive. After all, they’re the heartbeats of your brand.

3. Content is King:
Only 9% of business owners feel like they have a solid content strategy. Don’t be part of that statistic! Regularly post content that speaks to your audience. Remember, engagement is the name of the game.

4. Mobile Matters:
Optimize your website for mobile consumption because, let’s face it, we’re all glued to our phones. Your website experience should be like a great movie—captivating, smooth, and leaving your audience wanting more.

5. Cumulus Boost – Unleashing Power:
Cumulus Media dropped a bombshell—Cumulus Boost! It’s not just a program; it’s a promise to boost your productivity, website, reputation, find-ability, and lead generation. Local SEO and the Engagement Dashboard are the secret weapons in this arsenal.

So, dear creat.ives, buckle up for an exciting journey ahead! Partner up, claim your Google turf, embrace the power of reviews, master the art of content, go mobile, and let Cumulus Boost your business to new heights.

Remember, it’s not just about making noise on the radio; it’s about creat.ing a symphony of success for your brand! 🎶💼 #CreateYours #BoostYo
