For Tom, one of the more interesting parts of sitting on the business development side is seeing how different companies think about marketing.
Some view it as a way to generate leads.
Others see it as something they are supposed to be doing because everyone else is.
And then there are the companies where marketing is clearly doing something bigger... It is making sales easier.
Dive into Tom’s latest article to see what it looks like when marketing is helping sales (link in bio).

👏 We’re clapping because...
Last week, the Sanctuary team traded keyboards for peanuts and Cracker Jack at a Guardians game.
Turns out baseball and digital marketing have a lot in common:
⚾ Every campaign starts with a game plan.
⚾ Data helps you call the right plays.
⚾ Teamwork wins championships.
⚾ And sometimes... you just need to swing away.

How we’re using AI as a company that values authenticity 🌟
✔️ As a thought partner, we use it as a tool to think through content ideas, get feedback on copy, and brainstorm ideas.
✔️ Automate smaller tasks. Like managing your calendar, summarizing lengthy documents, and taking notes from online meetings.
✔️ Testing or cleaning up code for websites to fix any potential issues.
It`s not replacing the humanity of marketing. It`s about using the tools you`re given to help grow businesses and put your energy towards the things that make a difference.

Thanks for 5️⃣ awesome years, David and Matt! 🎉
This month, we’re celebrating two huge milestones at Sanctuary: David and Matt’s 5-year anniversaries.
Over the last five years, they’ve helped shape not only the work we create, but the culture that makes Sanctuary what it is.
What makes this milestone even more meaningful is what David shared with our team recently:
“This is the longest I`ve stayed at any job, and that`s because of the team here at Sanctuary… even a bad day can turn around, because you know the people around you genuinely care and want to help.”
That’s exactly the kind of environment we strive to build. One where talented people can grow, collaborate, do great work, and genuinely enjoy the people beside them.

20 years ago, Sanctuary was just getting started. Meanwhile, our Social Media Manager David was in middle school probably perfecting his AIM away message.
Fast forward to today, and he’s the one behind a lot of the creativity you see from Sanctuary every day.
Some things change a lot in 20 years. Some people just get better at social media. 😂

Happy 1-year anniversary to Kati!
Over the past year, Kati has become an essential part of our team, helping keep projects moving smoothly from kickoff to launch. As a Project Manager, she somehow manages to balance client communication, internal coordination, timelines, priorities, and countless moving pieces all at once - and makes it look easy.

Back in 2006, when Sanctuary was just getting its start, Kristi was in a very different season of life. She was growing her family and raising young kids while balancing all the chaos and joy that comes with it.
While Sanctuary was taking shape as a company, she was building something just as meaningful at home: a foundation of patience, consistency, and care that often goes unnoticed in the moment but lasts for years.
Now, 20 years later, those same qualities show up in everything she does at Sanctuary.
As we celebrate Sanctuary’s 20th anniversary, it’s a reminder that this story has always been about more than business growth — it’s been about the people growing alongside it 🧡

We’re putting a little extra focus on something that matters just as much as great work… taking care of ourselves.
Our team kicked off an office health challenge centered around better habits across nutrition, movement, and overall wellness. The goal is simple: be more intentional, stay consistent, and push each other in a positive way 💪
It’s been fun to see everyone lean in, set their own goals, and bring a little friendly competition into the mix.
And early on, Lauren is setting the pace and taking the lead through April. Go Lauren, go!

As we celebrate 20 years, one thing hasn’t changed.
We’ve always made it a point to celebrate our people 🧡 🎊
Digging through old photos, it’s pretty clear… this isn’t new for us. The faces, the styles, maybe even the cameras have changed, though the energy hasn’t. We’ve always found reasons to recognize each other, have some fun, and enjoy the moments in between the work.

We’ve looked at a lot of social accounts. The difference between the ones that grow and the ones that stall is obvious.

We`re throwing it back to 2006 again in honor of Sanctuary`s 20th anniversary.
Back when marketing was a little different… and Tom was his same wild, funny self that we know today.
Some things change. Some things don’t.
Stay tuned for more throwbacks as we celebrate 20 years of growth.
