Sometimes trends emerge, and you adjust your marketing mix to suit, but the rest of the time… It’s about gut instinct.

There’s no analytical justification for intuition, just years of experience in the creative industries.

Content creation for SEO should satisfy two audiences; your website audiences - and Google...

At the Missus we can handle both for you. Using analytical insight for direction and real-life writing experience for execution, we’ll get your content singing 🖋💛🖥

Whilst thinking about challenges we may have faced

Whilst thinking about challenges we may have faced over the last year, struggling with inspiration and motivation as a creative has hit a lot of people pretty hard.

When combatting this, we have found a useful place to start is looking at, and distinguishing the two types of inspiration.

Breaking things down can simplify complicated thoughts - a massive game changer.

So now we have ‘passive’ and ‘active’ inspiration...

Appreciating and absorbing different media is great, but we then need to use this to form our own ideas as well as understanding everyone else’s.

So you like something you’ve seen on Instagram... WHAT do you like about it? HOW does it work? WHY does it work? HOW can you take this forward in your own work?

Some food for thought, and a few tips for Friday afternoon !

This weekend it was #nationalhaikuday !

Traditionally, a haiku is an unrhymed Japanese poem that consists of 17 syllables arranged in 3 lines containing five, seven, and five syllables respectively.

We thought we’d fire up the @poooli.print and give it a go ourselves...

Pretty topical, huh? I think we did alright 😂🌟

We are continuing our tips and tricks series with some insight to the world of web design and building. Starting off with the most essential part of a website - its domain name! Without one of these you are going nowhere - it would be like buying a house but not knowing how to get to it.
 The best domains are short and to the point - this makes them memorable. Add a .com to the end and there you have it! The first step to having an online presence.
 Do you have any questions about websites you'd like us to answer? Let us know 🙂

We recently worked with @moseleyimagery on her website and she had some lovely things to say about us...⁠
⁠
"Emma recently designed my commercial photography website and I am thrilled with it! She immediately understood what I needed and was such a delight to work with. The whole process from start to finish was straight forward and enjoyable. Our weekly catch ups enabled me to work with her to tweak the design as it was being made, which I found hugly helpful. It was so lovely to be able to delegate to an expert! I would highly recommended Emma, at The Missus."⁠
⁠
Thanks Beth for your kind words, you were a delight to work with too! ⁠

A little Procreate tip for you this afternoon... Creating an Easter colour palette inspired by some Spring flowers that have been blooming around the city recently (these ones were just outside @norwichplayhouse 🌷)

This is a quick and easy way to create a harmonious colour palette - simply drag an image into the colour palette tab and Procreate will generate the colours for you 💫

Wondering what The Missus sounds like? Here are a few tracks we’ve been spinning today —>

Something for every mood on here: Want to get cosy and embrace the weather, pick something sweet and soulful for your Friday afternoon - perhaps some @artykarateparty or @oliviadeano

Not feeling the rain? Choose the route of blissful ignorance and wack on some funky house. Paris City Jazz from @bellairemusic making us believe the sun is shining in Norwich this afternoon! ☀️

A year into lockdown, it’s no surprise that the novelty of working from home is steadily wearing off. Though at 364 days in, we have had plenty of time to develop some routines to make it that little bit easier.

This week @le_smiff shares a glimpse of their WFH setup… 📘🤗

“One of the main things, aside from my fab colleagues, that has kept me sane whilst working at home is planners & journals! These are just a couple of my favourites from The Positive Planner & one from Typo that I came across this year. I like to go for planners that have a focus on wellbeing, gratitude and realistic goal setting and these all do the trick! Plus it definitely helps (at least for me) if they look lovely. If you are feeling like you are floating aimlessly and need something to ground you, go grab yourself a beautiful planner & a nice cup of coffee and start planning your life!”

It’s a super sunny Friday and we’re introducing a new feature to the feed! Whats not to love ? ☀️

Every now and then we’ll be sharing some of our favourite typefaces - a couple of Fab Fonts a month. We’ll look at how they’re used, by who, and where you can find them.

For the first instalment, obviously we had to showcase the fonts that make us The Missus.

Superior Title is a high contrast transitional typeface (the missing link between Bodoni and Times…?) The display styles are perfect for both editorial and digital use. And what better to pair it with than St Marie - famously an @emmathemissus favourite.

We’re constantly searching for new fonts that we love, so want to be able to share some good’uns with you !

We'd like to introduce you to one of our wonderful clients Beth Moseley - @moseleyimagery 📸

Working with fellow creatives is always a delight, and Beth was no different. Creative professionals always have a strong idea of what they do (or more importantly) don't want from their website, and that's a really good thing. Beth gave us a strong brief and came to us with a photography portfolio oozing personality, so we had to do it justice. We also worked hard to emulate her warm tone of voice with our copywriting help. It's about allowing your client's personality to lead the project, rather than try to make it fit into your own neat little boxes.

Go check out her new website at moseleyimagery.co.uk or go and see what else we do at themissus.co ✨

I’ve been inspired lately by rummaging through illustration archives, looking for elements to resurrect. Creativity is a muscle, and needs to be strengthened sometimes. This design / appropriation / assemblage is today’s workout.

L E T T H E M U S I C P L A Y // this year has been a quiet one on all fronts apart from the news, so we thought we’d tip it on its head and get behind @wildpathsfestival as commercial sponsor. Why? Try to take music out of business... out of any aspect of society and you’re left with a very diminished world, not just in volume. Music has been at the heart of my (Emma’s) career for 15 years and seeing Wild Fields battle adversity to put on a good show is just the antidote we need in 2020.
So grab a few of your mates, book a party pod and raise a glass in the air to a year that’s only just getting started...
