S: For me, The Grey Canvas was a happy accident. What started as a platform for me to share my OOTD and vacations slowly turned into a fun full-time project that helped me get in touch with my creative side.

S: One of my favourite parts of being a creator is taking a vision I have in my mind and turning it into an actual product. Especially when that final product pushes me into creating something unique.

S: Oh my gosh, this is so hard to narrow down. Every day comes with its own rewards and achievements. Every time I work on a project, I cannot believe that I pivoted from working as an engineer for a huge company to being my own boss. I still pinch myself that what started out as a fun and creative outlet became a full-time career.

S: The biggest item on my bucket list would be to own a property in France. I have a huge obsession with food and it would be a dream to live in a country known for pushing boundaries on what’s consumable and how to prepare it. After I have eaten my heart out, I would take a nice long walk on the same streets Hemingway did.

S: It would be a dream to live in NYC. You already know I have a huge obsession with food, so to live on an island where I can have direct access to 72 Michelin star restaurants is nirvana. Up until the temperature gets too cold, then I’m ready to head off to France.

S: The 10-year-old version of me would never believe me if I told them what I do for a living. The technology that existed then is significantly different than what we have now. With it came new career paths and a better way to connect with people.

S: Do what you love and never give up! I got this advice from my very first mentor and it has always stuck with me.

S: There are so many individuals that inspire me in their own unique way. Some inspire me in philanthropy, some in technology, and some in content creation. In the content creator space, Chriselle Lim inspires me continually. She is a successful woman who has turned her platform into a full-time business. She runs a talented team to help execute all her content in house, designs her own clothing label and balances all this while still making time for her family.

S: Jacobs Steakhouse. They have the best steaks in the city. My husband and I are always there to celebrate anything just so we can eat there.

S: I don’t have one particular brand that I gravitate towards for everything. At the moment, I love La Mer (for skin care), Chanel (for beauty and scent), Celine (for bags) and Zara (for on-trend clothing).

S: It would be a dream to have an opportunity to have dinner with Anna Wintour. She has played a pivotal role in recognizing fashion trends, mixing high and low elements, and connecting new designers to powerful fashion houses. I would love to get her opinion on how she sees the fashion landscape evolving the next few years and will technology play a role in it. Continuing on with my food obsession trend, Anthony Bourdain would also be my ideal dinner partner. I would let him pick a hole in the wall restaurant and I could pick his brain about his food travels. I would want to know what makes up the perfect meal and also what is sacrilegious in terms of combining ingredients for a meal. I would also want to know if he only travels to eat or does he travel to get in touch with the local culture and for sightseeing.

Are you aiming to increase web traffic or grow your social media presence? Figure out why you’re leveraging paid media in the first place and build your strategy from there. Having clearly defined goals in mind will help you focus on your brand’s key priorities.
Designing strategies that cater to all three stages of the buyer journey ensures that you’re maximizing your brand’s reach. Every user at every stage is valuable—and you have to make sure you’re creating paid media content that speaks to each audience type.
Effective paid media is tied to targeting the right keywords. If you’re leveraging paid search ads to appear on SERPs (search engine results pages), then in-depth research is necessary. Bid on the keywords that are most relevant to your business to trigger only the most effective ad appearances.
Gather your team—because it’s time to start coming up with ad copy that wins attention. The key is to resonate with your audience and inspire engagement. Be real. Be relatable. And most importantly, don’t underestimate the power of creativity.
Do the landing pages on your website effectively push visitors further down the sales funnel? If not, you’re letting potential customers slip through your fingers. Optimize each of your landing pages so that they nudge users towards converting.
The options are plenty when it comes to paid advertising, including Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Pinterest among others. Analyze who your target demographic is, research where it’s best to connect with them, and then target the platforms where you wish to build awareness.
If you’re ready to build your paid media ad campaign, you’ll find that it will be further broken down into “ad groups” to ensure more effective pay-per-click advertising. These ad groups house one or more ads that have similar targets or categories. Let’s say your brand’s website features categories such as clothing, shoes, and accessories. Creating ad groups according to keywords that fall under these categories will help the PPC system decide when to show ads for these products.
Retargeting ads are bound to succeed because it’s a second shot at a conversion. Visitors have shown interest in the product/service once before, and sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to push them to the checkout page. So don’t forget to retarget and aim better this time.
In the world of paid media, what works and what doesn’t? You’ll have to run A/B tests to find out! Whether you’re testing which keywords bring more traffic or which social platforms earn more ad engagement, you won’t find out what really works for your brand until you test it.
Revisit your initial goals. Did your efforts bring about the results you expected? Tracking results is an essential step in your brand’s paid advertising campaigns. The data you collect from currently running ads will help lay the foundation for your future campaigns.
After tracking your results, you’ll be able to see where adjustments are necessary. There’s always room for improvement, so keep striving to consistently resonate and build trust with your audience—it’s how to create paid ads that pay off.
