## A Week of Disruption & Opportunity at ASAE Annual Meeting
After two years of virtual conferences, the ASAE Annual Meeting was back this year in person, and wow, people were ready to meet! The Yes& booth was busy from morning until night; our session, led by speaker Chrissie Koeppen, Yes& Director of Digital Strategy, engaged content weary conference leaders with her perfect blend of creativity and expertise; and our incredible, well-oiled production machine did not miss a beat in creating the perfect main stage experience. One keynote speaker even called for a round of applause for the production team—when does that happen?

## Color Psychology: How Color Influences Opinions About Your Brand
Whether we realize it or not, color plays a critical role in our lives. It tells us when to hit the gas, pump the brake, or proceed with caution. It turns our stomachs and makes our mouths water. It can even make us happier. Color is more than what we see with our eyes. It is a powerful tool that silently communicates and influences behavior. From how an office is decorated to increase productivity or inspire creativity, to selling a new car model through a TV commercial, color is used to stimulate our brains. Studies have shown that people decide whether or not they like a product in 90 seconds or less. Around 90% of that decision is based solely on color. Additionally, an individual’s reaction to a color can be deeply personal and rooted in their own experience. So, it’s important that a brand selects the right color to communicate their message to a specific audience, using color psychology to their advantage.

## Yes& Creative Strategy: From Concept to Reality
Ever heard the old adage, “don’t let your imagination run away with you”? I find my best stories come from allowing that inner creativity out to play. At Yes&, our perpetual pursuit of “&” is just that – breaking down barriers, tossing limitations out the window, and recognizing the potential in new ideas. As every good storyteller knows, the real magic comes from banishing the inner critic and getting curious about every possibility.

## Balancing the PESO Model with a Channel-First Approach
The collective grouping of marketing channels has, for years now, been growing in daily practice in agencies and marketing organizations alike. The common term, “PESO,” stands for paid, earned, shared, and owned mediums, and the central idea is that by approaching these channels as one body, marketers can help align their messaging strategy more holistically to produce a seamless experience for their intended audiences, regardless of where or when those audiences encounter it.

## Putting a Dream Into Action: ALS Association
As dreams go, they don't come much bigger than finding a cure for a disease that takes away your ability to walk, talk, speak, and eventually, breathe. This is the mission of the ALS Association, who for the last two years has entrusted Yes& with helping to make that dream a reality through delivering awareness campaigns to drive awareness, inspire advocacy, and raise money to fund research that will eventually defeat ALS.
