Please join us in giving a big welcome to Heather, our newest Project Coordinator! ️

Heather has already been doing a great job part-time keeping our projects on track, so we decided to make it official and bring her on full-time. When she isn't wrangling timelines and keeping deliverables organized, she’s busy working toward her Master’s in Strategic Communication at the University of Delaware (Go Blue Hens!)

Off the clock, Heather loves traveling to explore new places and cultures, or diving into creative projects like crafting, art, and video editing.

Welcome aboard, Heather! We’re so happy to have you with us. ⛰️💙

Earlier this week, our co-founder John attended the Easterseals Delaware & Maryland's Eastern Shore Annual Celebration alongside members of his Leadership Delaware, Inc. cohort. It was an inspiring evening honoring Ken Sklenar’s 31 years of leadership and service. Easterseals does incredible work across our region, and we’re grateful for leaders like Ken who have made such a lasting impact!

Hitting "send" on an email campaign is easily the most stressful five seconds of a marketer’s week. Instead of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best, email A/B testing lets you gather data on what is and isn't working.

On our blog, we explain how A/B testing works, the three rules you should follow, and suggest seven variables you can start testing: https://firstascentdesign.com/how-to-ab-test-emails/

We had a great evening at Mt. Cuba Center last week celebrating alongside our friends at Blackwell HR and Canine Partners for Life. CEO Michelle Ray is gearing up for the Great World Race (running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days!) to champion seven nonprofits making an impact in our region. We were proud to be a sponsor, and we love seeing good friends doing great things for our community!

Glad we could attend the Delaware Healthcare Workforce Summit this week, which focused on behavioral and rural healthcare in our state. It was so good catching up with friends and colleagues. Thank you to all the leaders pushing these important conversations forward!

We recently teamed up with the Delaware Nature Society to launch their new website! 🌿

DelNature protects thousands of acres across our state and hosts year-round educational programs, but their old platform was struggling to keep up with that footprint.

To build a site that encourages people to get outdoors, we started by simplifying the journey. We restructured the sitemap around what visitors look for most, and spotlighted their photography so families can see what a day on the trails actually looks like.
