Nicholas Love shared thisAsking the right questions reduces vulnerabilities.Nicholas Love shared thisAI in marketing isn't the risk. Unexamined AI in marketing is. We built the THRIVE Framework to help marketing leaders stress-test their AI strategy before it becomes a brand liability, not after. AI readiness isn't about the tools you adopt. It's about the guardrails you build first.

Nicholas Love reposted thisNicholas Love reposted thisSome stories aren't just told. They're carried. As the design partner for the final two editions of More Life Magazine with The Missing Pink Breast Cancer Alliance, we built an experience where readers could absorb trusted information while feeling supported rather than overwhelmed. Typography that breathes. Space to feel. Resources were made easier to find, read, and share when they were needed most. Real stories about survival, loss, and love deserve design that honors them. Not for applause. For impact that outlasts the page. #CaseStudy

Nicholas Love reposted thisNicholas Love reposted thisTitles don't tell the whole story. Ava Toro sits in Fortune 500 war rooms as Sr. Account Manager of Government Sales Insights at Reddit, Inc., but her edge isn't the title; it's the question she asks before any strategy gets built: "If I were the consumer, what would this actually mean?" — a question she brings into every room. When Reddit needed real research on a community she wasn't part of, Toro didn't sit it out. She built it with the community, and the data busted assumptions leadership didn't know they had. Research only works when culture is understood, not imagined. https://lnkd.in/ec9eiB5U

Nicholas Love reposted thisNicholas Love reposted thisShe typed a hashtag, expecting to see a community, and found zero posts. So she built the thing she was looking for. Allie Joy Tsahey turned a birthday-week hashtag into Baddies in Tech, now the largest community for Black and brown women in tech, globally. From $2,000 in the bank and a word from God, she launched BaddieCon. From lived experience, she built a framework redefining who actually belongs in tech. Meet our latest Dope Thinker.

Nicholas Love reacted on thisNicholas Love reacted on thisToday, I’m especially proud of Columbia College Chicago! Many don’t know this about me but as someone who entered foster care as a child, this story is deeply personal. I know firsthand that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Too often, the circumstances of our childhood become someone else’s prediction of our future. At Columbia, we reject that narrative. Access is more than admission. It’s believing in potential before the world has proof. It’s creating pathways for students whose resilience has already prepared them to change the world if they’re simply given the chance. Cheers to everyone who beats the odds when others try to limit your capacity and creativity. May WE become the history we once searched for to inspire us. To every student who has overcome unimaginable barriers: your story is not defined by what happened to you. It is defined by what you choose to build next. This is why access matters. This is why we invest in students. This is why we believe excellence belongs to everyone. I’m incredibly proud of our students and grateful to everyone who helped make this opportunity possible. I will be unrelenting for creative scholars, no matter how hard, to make a way when the path is less clear. I hope you’ll join me in that journey-take a moment to read this inspiring story: https://lnkd.in/gcb59yvZ We will RISE! Emmanuel Lalande, Ed.D. Adam S.

“She Got Next” is bigger than the game. At HBCUs, women’s basketball is rich with talent, leadership, and untold stories yet still fighting for visibility in the NIL era. While top programs dominate headlines, HBCU women are building brands with less and doing it with excellence. It’s more to it than sponsorships. It’s about ownership, opportunity, and rewriting what success looks like for the next generation of women in sports. Who’s telling these stories and what more can we build if we invest in them? #HBCUHoops #SheGotNext #WomenInSports #NIL #BlackExcellence #HBCULegacy #CollegeAthletics #StorytellingMatters
