Gratitude for Our Clients and Loved Ones This Thanksgiving
from Dawn Varga & Tina Inkrote
November 25,2025 |
As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re reminded of the many reasons we have to be grateful, both personally and professionally. At the top of that list are the clients and loved ones who make our work and our lives meaningful every single day. This season offers the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the people who contribute to our success and well-being in countless ways.
To our clients, thank you for placing your trust in us. Your partnership fuels our purpose, challenges us to grow, and inspires us to deliver our very best. We don’t take your confidence lightly, and we’re grateful for every project, conversation, and opportunity to support your goals. Your loyalty and collaboration are the foundation of everything we do.
To our family and friends, thank you for being our constant source of strength and encouragement. Your support, understanding, and belief in us make it possible to pursue our goals with confidence. Whether you celebrate our wins, lend a listening ear, or simply show up with love and kindness, you remind us of what truly matters. Your presence enriches our lives far beyond the workplace.
Thanksgiving is more than a holiday—it’s a chance to appreciate the relationships that shape our journey. As we gather with loved ones and reflect on the year, we extend our sincere gratitude to the clients, family, and friends who uplift us and help us move forward with purpose.
Wishing everyone a joyful, and restful Thanksgiving!
Our offices will be closed this Thursday and Friday, November 27th and 28th, to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.

Winning the AI-powered holiday season: 3 takeaways from Think Retail 2025
Article from Google.com
by Courtney Rose September 2025 | | | |
I’m still energized from Think Retail, our annual holiday-readiness showcase for marketers.
So many of you are already juggling a million things on your to-do lists, especially as peak shopping season kicks off. And, of course, you know better than anybody that the consumer journey is more complex than ever: Most shoppers hit at least five online touchpoints before buying, and Google or YouTube is present in 86% of those journeys.1
On top of that, people are in a constant state of “ambient shopping” — especially during the holidays. At least half of holiday shoppers are making a purchase at any given moment, from October all the way through the new year.2
We recognize the resilience this demands from marketers. While this complexity presents a challenge, it also represents one of the greatest opportunities we’ve ever faced. If you’re feeling just as energized as I am to drive growth this holiday season (and in 2026), then I want to share my top three takeaways from this year’s Think Retail keynote.
1. Capture demand at both ends: Massive scale and hyperspecific trends
The new era of AI-powered discovery is creating two new dynamics that retailers are facing. The first is sheer scale. We see over one billion shopping searches daily, and 60% of them show broad intent.3 That’s a massive audience open to discovery — not just searching directly for your brand. At the same time, there’s the speed of trends. Niche trends explode overnight, like search interest for “rugby shirt” hitting a 10-year high. Your strategy must capture both the massive, broad audience and the unplannable, specific-trend seeker.

View Recipe on The Pioneer Woman
If you have a few cups of leftover turkey meat hanging around, this turkey noodle casserole recipe will breathe new life into it.
Yields: 6 - 8 servings
Prep Time: 35 mins
Total Time: 1 hr
Ingredients: | | | | - 4 Tbsp. salted butter, plus more for the baking dish
- 2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more for the pasta
- 1 (12-oz.) bag wide egg noodles or fusilli
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 cups whole milk, warmed
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, cubed and at room temperature
| | - 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 8 oz.)
- 3 cups shredded or cubed leftover cooked turkey
- 1 (10-oz.) bag frozen peas and carrots
- 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped, plus more for sprinkling
- 2 cups crushed ridged potato chips (such as Ruffles)
| | | | Directions: - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large sauté pan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the celery, onion, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to turn golden, 7 to 9 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, until the flour smells toasty, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, cream cheese, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium low. Cook until the sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese until melted. Fold in the turkey, peas and carrots, parsley, and pasta.
- Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with the crushed potato chips and remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.
- Bake until golden and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
