September 15 | National Dot Day

In the content world, you can spend a lot of time aiming for perfect. But National Dot Day is a reminder that great things can start with a single mark—and from having the guts to see where the process will take your idea. Use today to show your audience the messy, inspired, and totally unique way you make your own mark on your industry.

Option 1: Retain and Re-engage Existing Audiences — The Creative Remix

The Strategy: Focus on how your clients take your work and make it their own. Highlighting their creativity fosters a sense of community and reminds them why they loved working with you.

The Example: We’re celebrating National Dot Day by looking at how YOU make your mark. One of my favorite parts of this job is seeing how my clients take [Your Product/Service] and turn it into something completely unique. Whether you’ve used my [Specific Tool] to [Specific Result] or found a totally new way to apply our strategy, I want to see it. Tag me in your latest project or drop a win in the comments so I can celebrate your creativity!

Option 2: Shape Brand Perception and Positioning — The Innovation Origin

The Strategy: Explain the why behind your unique methods. When you show that your creative choices are intentional, you position yourself as a leader rather than just another service provider.

The Example: For National Dot Day, I want to talk about doing things differently. Most people in our field handle [Task] by [Standard Way], but I decided to make my mark by taking a different path: [Your Unique Method]. I believe creativity isn't just for art—it’s how we build better, more effective businesses. Double-tap if you’re a fan of breaking the standard mold.

Option 3: Build Brand Awareness — The Spark Story

The Strategy: Share a story about the person who first encouraged your creative drive. This humanizes your brand and invites your audience to share their own origin stories.

The Example: National Dot Day actually started with a teacher, which got me thinking about the people who sparked my own creative drive long before I was in the content world. My [Teacher/Mentor] was the first one to tell me that [Specific Lesson/Encouragement], and I still carry that curiosity into every project I do. Who was the person who first told you to "make your mark"? Shout them out in the comments!
