Giveaway Day 10: Reflect & Celebrate with Us!

One of my favorite career moments this past year was attending a conference dedicated to career growth. I got to hear some amazing speakers (including Lauren Graham!), and the whole experience was so motivating and inspiring. It helped reinforce that I’m thankful to work for an organization that believes in my potential and actively supports my professional development.

one of my career wins was updating our company website! This was a major undertaking and every step had many obstacles and channels, so it felt like a huge achievement to finally get the green light to go live.

One career moment that has impacted our team has been getting all of our listening dashboards in Sprout set up for not only our locations but our competitors as well. It’s been a big step in helping us listen for brand crises or high-volume brand mentions.

Choosing to be an optimist in life means looking at my biggest career moment as a positive. I was laid off from my job last month after 5 months of being in a weird limbo as the company was in the process of shutting down and it was unclear if I would be moving over to the company that was acquiring the brand I worked on.

I’m extremely fortunate in this situation that my family is financially sound and have some time to figure out what the next path is for me, and that I’ve spent the last month stoking the fire of unemployment by applying, interviewing and lining up freelance work.

While the future isn’t 100% clear, I’m confident that something will work out and I will find an opportunity that is equal parts rewarding and fun.

​@SJohnston88 As someone who also recently went through a major company website overhaul I can feel you with the amount of work that goes into that project. Congrats for getting it done, it is a huge achievement!

The listening tool is so helpful! We’ve used it on our university comms team to listen for emerging crises on social or high-volume mentions.

One of my favorite moments this year as a social media manager has been working alongside such incredible coworkers and inspiring leaders. Every project brought new opportunities to collaborate with talented individuals who not only supported my ideas but also challenged me to grow and think creatively. Whether it was brainstorming campaigns, navigating challenging moments, or celebrating successes, the camaraderie and mentorship I experienced made all the difference. I’ve learned so much from the expertise and leadership around me, and it’s been a privilege to be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. These connections and shared accomplishments have truly been the highlight of my year.

So many great moments this year (incredibly blessed to be able to say this) but one that stood out to me was being able to get more and more buy-in of my teams social media strategy and goals. This would not have been possible without the power of Sprout Social analytics. We have been able to grow our social media strategy and be very purposeful of what we produce and put out on our channels. It was a great feeling to feel incorporated vs. an afterthought :) 

A bonus for me also this year was attending one of the Sprout Social roadshows and speaking on stage! 

This year I used some spare time to join a volunteer organization’s food and clothing drive, I participated in one of their community outreach programs, helped secure donations and organized distribution of food and clothing to a large number of underserved families. Our efforts provided essential supplies and I think it helped create unity and hope within the community, highlighting the power of teamwork and compassion. It’s been a humbling and powerful experience and I may re-join again in 2025.

I love this. I've been volunteering more too and it really is a reset.

Which conference was this! I’m researching conferences for 2025 to attend.

My career moment was publishing! Some of you know I’m passionate about the issue of burnout among communicators working in the social media space. I took the next step, built on a few talks I’d given and wrote a book on the subject! 

When you work in the digital space and things can be deleted quickly, it’s an AMAZING feeling to hold something with permanence like your book in your hands.

And our randomly selected winner is… 🥁🥁🥁
