Welcome Note
Hey there,
I’m have some exciting updates for you!
New Job Listings Page
I’ve broken out the job listings into a dedicated page on the web version of the newsletter. Based on your feedback, it made more sense to have a separate page instead of a second email. This page will be updated periodically with new opportunities, hiring brand stories, and inspiring tales of how people got their start in the industry.
Pay What You Want Subscriptions
Great news! The platform I use for hosting my newsletter has just released an update for “pay what you want” subscriptions. If you’d like to support me in continuing these deeper dives and curating the best content from the industry, I’d be beyond grateful! You can set up a monthly subscription that you can cancel at any time. Rest assured, the newsletter will remain free, but any support you can offer—whether monthly, one-time, or otherwise—would mean the world to me. You can upgrade your subscription from the home page.
Get Involved
I’m always on the lookout for new stories and topics to cover. If you have ideas or want me to tackle something specific, shoot me an email! It might take a few weeks depending on the research involved, but I’m eager to dive into the topics you’re most interested in. Additionally, if you’re passionate about a subject and want to write a guest article, send me a pitch. If it makes sense, let’s collaborate!
Thank you for being part of this community. Your support and engagement make all of this possible.
Cheers,
Lars
With that, let’s get into it!
