For the second year in a row, the Ignatian Spirituality Center at @stthomasmorestpaul requested our help creating a digital experience for their annual ”Walking with Ignatius” 10-day event.
We animated daily reflection videos that were then emailed to participants each morning of the event. Each video featured a speaker presenting a new spiritual reflection on either the life of Ignatius, or a significant excerpt from the Spiritual Exercises.
▶️ All 2025 videos are now available on their website. Link in bio.

🌕 Tonight’s Full Sturgeon Moon will swim through the sky. The name originates from the abundance of Great Lakes sturgeon traditionally caught this time of year, though today they are considered Critically Endangered.
🐟 The sturgeon is among the largest of the freshwater bony fish, with a lineage that can be traced back to the Jurassic. On average, they live up to 60 years, and the largest of them can grow up to several meters in length.

Nothing says summer like the nostalgic taste of an orange creamsicle. 🍊☀️ Our client, @emilysfreshkitchen, captures the essence of this summer treat in her Orange Creamsicle Smoothie recipe. Combining orange juice, yogurt, vanilla and a touch of honey, this refreshing and delicious drink will keep you cool on those hot summer days.

It’s not every day the stars align, literally. 💫 National Moon Day meets National Megan Day, and we’re celebrating this cosmic coincidence with croissants, of course. 🥐 Today we recognize all the brilliant Megans lighting up the universe, especially our own Megan Junius, the force behind Eight Moon™. Some call it fate. We call it stellar branding.

Tonight look to the east shortly before midnight and you’ll see two of the most beautiful objects in the night sky shining together. A waning gibbous moon will appear first, followed by the glow of Saturn. They’ll shine together all night, gradually move westward together until dawn. 🌖 🪐
Just as the moon and Saturn journey across the sky, we believe in moving alongside our clients, guiding them through challenges and celebrating successes. Our collaboration shines brightest when we align our goals, working together to achieve a common vision. ✨

Tonight’s Full Buck Moon marks a time of abundance and reflection. 🦌🌕 The name derives from the time of year when male deer begin to grow their new set of antlers. Take time to reflect on your brand and how we can help it flourish in the coming weeks.
