After years in the advertising industry working in web design and user experience with major brands like Pepsi, Visa, Toyota, and Mercedes, Jordan knew it was time he took his creativity offline so he could get his hands dirty. Out of that realization, he launched a custom brooch business which, ultimately, evolved into wedding stationery, perfectly marrying his experience in digital design with his love for crafting. Thus, his boutique design firm, A Good Day, was born to serve planners and their eclectic, one-of-a-kind stationery that establishes a unique brand for each event. From save-the-dates and invitations to day-of signage and menus, Jordan draws inspiration from his diverse array of interests spanning fashion, architecture, interior design, and film to curate an aesthetic that perfectly matches each clients' vision for their celebration. Utilizing his extensive UX experience, Jordan also regularly works with creatives on digital projects, to ensure they are capturing the very essence of their brand. Jordan was recognized by BizBash as one of the Most Innovative People in 2020 for his creative, holistic approach to virtual events, and he was also a finalist for the NACE One Awards Innovator of the Year. https://agooddayinc.com/ https://www.instagram.com/agooddayinc/

Tahnée Sanders is a former journalist-turned-marketing strategist who leads female-led businesses to effective marketing strategy. As the founder of The Strategy Studio, she applies real-world approaches to marketing for creatives looking to connect with more of their ideal clients so they can charge what their expertise is worth and ultimately run more profitable, sustainable businesses.  Tahnée began her career quite literally off the beaten path in a small Australian mining town, where she was the country's youngest daily newspaper editor. In one of many bold steps, Tahnée left her career in journalism and set off to travel to the Americas. A one year plan would turn into nearly a decade abroad.  After trading her marketing and copywriting services to a small florist shop in Canada in exchange for knowledge on floristry, Tahnée was catapulted into the wedding industry. She went on to learn all the things about flowers and styling, and serve as a content strategist for wedding inspiration leader Once Wed, as well as If I Made, one of the first online learning companies for creative entrepreneurs.    When she became a new mom in 2017, she knew she wanted to pivot toward a life that fulfilled her and provided more flexibility.  Since 2019, Tahnée has supported more than 100 small businesses through her strategy sessions, Done-In-A-Day copywriting service and group coaching. She has also been featured on shows like If I Made a Podcast and has been a contributor for Fairfax Media and Real Weddings Magazine, as well as a speaker at summits like the 2022 Simply Business Summit, among others.  Beyond marketing, Tahnée never regrets any ocean swim, even in winter, and she always carries around floral clippers for "civic pruning," which later are transformed into spontaneous home floral arrangements.  She also loves reading, trail running, and family bike rides with her husband and two children.  https://thestrategystudio.com.au FB: @thestrategystudio Instagram: @thestrategystudio Pinterest @thestrategystudio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tahnée-sanders-05853737/ Join me for a FREE TRAINING on Tuesday March 21st at 2 PM CST and let's Book Out Your Wedding Business! www.heyhalima.com/free
