Words from Good Grit

The Value of Clear Communication

By Haley Chambers • September 5, 2024
At Good Grit, one of our core values is being proactive communicators. But what does that really mean, and how do we live it out?

Clear Expectations = Healthy Company Culture

By Laura Quick • August 16, 2024
Audit workshops are one of my favorite team exercises, and I've been facilitating them for over a decade. At Good Grit, we approach each client as an expert in their field, positioning ourselves as learners at the start of our partnership. My role initially is to listen and ask questions, fostering an interactive environment with whiteboards and dry erase markers for all participants. The goal of these sessions is to uncover productivity and revenue roadblocks and identify where confusion may exist within the organization. This confusion often translates externally, affecting client relations and clarity.

2 Weekly Questions to Build Company Culture

By Laura Quick • May 2, 2024
Just as the pandemic had us taking to our individual home offices—which for many of us meant kitchen tables or coffee tables—our office implemented two meetings per week. Attendance was ALWAYS required unless they were dead or on vacation. Dramatic? Maybe. But keeping a team together when we were all navigating the unknown of a pandemic—and on some level worrying about making it as a company—well, it felt like the right requirement. More than two years later, we are still having two meetings per week—both still with required attendance (unless of course you are dead or on vacation). The kick off meeting always happens on Monday morning. The purpose of this meeting is strategy—we are diving into what we finished lined last week, and what is on deck for this week. It ranges from 60-90 minutes, but normally runs just around one hour. Our internal traffic manager runs this meeting, and we prioritize based on biggest projects due that week. On Fridays though, things look different. We have a morning meeting that is just about checking in. Typically we watch a TED Talk during the week, and we discuss what we learned from it or how it challenged us—but then each teammate checks in. The epiphany I had during the pandemic was what my team REALLY needed from me: consistency. As an entrepreneur who has had to grow and earn the title CEO, consistency is not natural. I have made it a habit over the last several years to hire incredible humans that are all leaders. I know how rare it is to have a team full of people who are self-motivated, solution-oriented, make-it-happen humans. I know it’s rare because I’ve worked on many teams where that wasn’t the case. Truly, I think this exact team has grown into those characteristics because they feel so supported. Interdependent, and yet autonomous. Launching two meetings each week is something I think we will do forever. And listen—I’m the CEO that HATES meetings about meetings, or meetings that totally could have been a text—but these meetings are purposeful and create incredible momentum and impact. Today I wanted to focus on our Friday meeting, which is all about CULTURE. And if you are a leader, you already know this—culture is in the top three currencies your employees or future employees are using to measure whether they want to work with you or continue working for you. As leaders who are leading other leaders who are leading teams of people vital to our organization, we need to be fluent in what creates a culture worth staying in for the long haul. Here are the two most powerful culture building questions leaders can ask their teams: 1. What did you/your team accomplish that is worth celebrating? Encouraging our teams to see even the smallest victories is so important. If we don’t count the small wins, we could end up missing the really big ones too. By asking this question consistently, your employees will know it’s coming—and they will want to have something to share WORTH celebrating. I love this question because it forces all of us to focus on what went well, what problems we actually solved, and how even a small thing moved the needle. When we focus on these positive wins, we are reenforcing a culture of not just seeing it in yourself or your team, but in one another. As a CEO, it is incredible insight hearing how my leadership team spent their week by how they articulate their wins. 2. Who on our team is your hero this week, and why? Who is the Most Valuable Player to you and why? I cannot tell you how this has enriched our company culture. They know this question is coming every week, and it never gets old. Because it is NORMAL in our company to brag on a teammate for kicking butt, pitching in, hitting tight deadlines, and a myriad of other things. When your team becomes accustomed to finding the gold in the people they work with and calling it out, MAGIC HAPPENS. I can’t give you a real statistic on what percentage of change you will have if you consistently, weekly, ask these two powerful questions, but I promise it’s significant. The hardest part will be making space for a meeting dedicated just to connection. The second hardest part will be YOU, the leader, showing up, leading the charge, and participating. Challenge yourself to try it for a month, and then email me and let me know how it goes! I would love to hear from you!

Good Grit’s been about telling Damn Good stories from the get-go. It all started with our magazine (hey @goodgritmag 👋 ) back in 2015, when we thought it was high time the South got a fresh new voice. We rounded up the best writers, photographers, and illustrators to help us paint a picture of the modern South that we know—and guess what? We kinda nailed it! Then came 2020, and we thought, why stop there? The cool places and people we've been showcasing in print deserved a chance to sparkle online too. With our knack for branding, copywriting, and web design, we've been helping brands tell their own stories in ways that stick. 🌟 Got a story of your own? We bet it’s bursting with potential. Let's help you unleash it.

It all started with our magazine (hey @goodgritmag 👋 ) back in 2015, when we thought it was high time the South got a fresh new voice. We rounded up the best writers, photographers, and illustrators to help us paint a picture of the modern South that we know—and guess what? We kinda nailed it! Then came 2020, and we thought, why stop there? The cool places and people we've been showcasing in print deserved a chance to sparkle online too. With our knack for branding, copywriting, and web design, we've been helping brands tell their own stories in ways that stick. 🌟 Got a story of your own? We bet it’s bursting with potential. Let's help you unleash it.

Usually words are kind of our thing… but our holiday party was indescribable! 🌟 We were honored to experience a dinner curated by Tyler and Jenn of @tastingtbl_bham during a night of laughing, crying (just a few happy tears), and loving each other’s company. We love working together, but man oh man do we LOVE hanging out together. ❤️💚

Remember those compliments we were talking about? Yeah, we do too. 😉 Anyway—this is what they were for: a stationery suite for a badass client. We know what you’re thinking—it looks great, but what are those lines? Time for some schooling! 🤓 Crop marks: lets you see the exact size of your document and where it should be cut. Bleed: prevents white edges from appearing on your document during the cutting process. The end result is a picture-perfect business card, note pad, envelope—you name it! ⭐️🌈 The More You Know!

If you’ve got compliments, we’ll take ‘em! 😉 Our process is a thorough one—but making sure we ask the right questions means that when the hard stuff is done, we get client reactions like this! There is nothing better than making sure our clients feel like their story is represented in our work. 💛 Now you might be wondering just what was so beautiful… is now a bad time to tell you that this is a cliff hanger? 🧗🏼‍♀️ Don’t worry—we won’t make you wait too long.

What's better than a summer afternoon on the lake? 🚤 When our team is in Cullman, @tridentmarina Grille is our favorite place to hang. Cold drinks, good food, great view—it's a vibe. 🌅 And not to brag, but the menus we designed look just as good as the food!

Have you heard of @atthestationfest? It’s a new tailgating + music festival in College Station! We worked on branding, digital marketing, and organic social media content for an April launch—and we sold the dang thing out in 4 days! 🎟️ (We might have had a little help from headliner, @zachlanebryan…) We’ll see y’all there in October, but until then, follow along on socials!

Branding that looks good enough to eat! 😋🍴There’s usually nothing better than watching a concept come to life, but seeing people hold the menus we designed for @thenational_cullman is actually making us pretty jealous. BRB… making a reservation.

Our team is made up of all different kinds of people, but we all share one trait: curiosity. We live to learn, so we started the Good Grit Book Club. Our most recent read was The Brand Gap by Marty Neumeier, and it taught us so much about how brand strategy translates into brand design. Got any reads you’d recommend?

🎶 Do you really wanna know where we were April 29th?⁠ ⁠ On April 29th, our team spent the day onsite at the @auburnrodeo, managing photography, video, and hosting. (Pics or it didn’t happen!) 📸 It’s a joke… but when it comes to event marketing it’s true! The best way to promote your next event is to show off how fun the last one was—and we’re not talking stop and smile for the camera photos. We’re talking screaming at the front of the stage, dusting up the dirt with your dance moves, hands in the air, and a glimmer in your eyes kinda pics. It did happen—and it was awesome.⁠ ⁠ Scroll through to see some highlights, and if you see us at the next one, say howdy!

Every client comes to us with a problem they are trying to solve—they need help speaking to their audience, their logo doesn’t reflect their values, or their ads aren’t bringing in a return. We are problem solvers. We love a challenge. And one of our favorite challenges was bringing @auburnrodeo to life!⁠ ⁠ The problem: We worked with the client to wake up the audience after a global pandemic. We had to honor the event’s 50+ year tradition while modernizing it to be a rodeo and a concert. ⁠ ⁠ The challenge: Not only was the client wanting to shake this 50+ year old event up, but they were also looking to create a model around this concept to expand it to other college towns.⁠ ⁠ The results: Auburn Rodeo was a successful event, surpassing our goal for ticket sales. Our list of 100+ influencers had a combined reach of millions, helping grow our captive audience on Instagram by over 10,000 in less than two years. With a strong brand and model, we were able to kickstart a brand new rodeo in Athens, Georgia.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to check out the full case study!

So… maybe they should change the saying to “Content is Queen.”⁠ ⁠ Read one of her favorite pieces she wrote for the magazine—link in bio.⁠

And we love it even more when we get to work with the cities we love outside of the magazine…⁠ ⁠ We worked with one of our favorite cities, @visitdecatural, to refresh their branding and marketing to help them show off their incredible city. ⁠ ⁠ Check out the link in our bio to read about one of our favorite places to visit in Decatur, the @cookmuseum! ⁠
We do damn good work, but you don’t have to take our word for it. Just ask our clients, like Kristen from @southernlivingmag.

@r.e.garrisontrucking is a legacy trucking company that started in Cullman, AL. They've been in business for over 50 years, and through grit and determination, are in the top 150 trucking companies in the United States. To put that in perspective—there are over 15,000 trucking companies in the country. They are responsible for delivering brands we know and love, such as Milo’s Tea, while also keeping America fed by delivering a lot of the chicken we ate during the pandemic.⁠ ⁠ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐒 𝐖𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐕𝐄𝐃:⁠ ⁠ R.E. Garrison had kept their heads down, working so hard that telling their story was never a priority—because being IN THE BUSINESS was. We came alongside them to understand their WHY. Once we knew their WHY, we helped articulate and define a purpose statement and a core value system, then helped form a brand voice so that everyone inside the company could start speaking the same language. An employee-owned organization like this one—with one strong purpose to build their legacy one drive at a time—is unstoppable. ⁠ ⁠ Swipe to the end to see where they started! ➡️

This past weekend, one full year of hard work came to fruition! It was an incredible experience to walk the grounds at @rockthesouth and see the signs, the screens, the merch, and so much more—all in the branding we created. Then came the fun part: telling the story of the festival live. We took powerful photos and videos, connected with festival attendees, and created content that captured the spirit of the #BiggestPartyintheSouth. Head to their socials to check it out!

4 million. That’s the number of story words that we’ve written since the beginning of Good Grit. This makes us storytelling marketing experts. ⁠ ⁠ We know that it’s not always about telling a new story, it can also be about telling old stories in a fresh new way. If your story needs telling—or retelling—we’re ready.

From scratch! We worked with @roundtown.collaborations to bring this South Atlanta event venue to life. The client came to us with a vision, but no name. The name of a business is important—it anchors you to a real identity—so we came to the table with a name that not only represented place, but also the emotion people would feel in the space. Since @thedottieattriumph is a venue, giving her a fun feminine, nurturing vibe was our aim—articulating her love for hospitality. This naming, branding and development project opened in 2021, and we’re just as obsessed with it now as we were on day one!

Story exposes your purpose and invites people to lean into you and your brand. Branding is rooted in telling impactful stories. Our client journey begins with an audit and discovery phase to help us understand your story… then comes the fun part.

Emotions are powerful. Color is an important part of your brand’s visual identity, because it can evoke emotion. Before we begin designing each issue of @goodgritmag, we decide on a color palette that fits the mood that we want to come across to our readers. What do the colors of our last four issues make you feel?

Scientists have found evidence that music as storytelling has existed for over 43,000 years. Today, there’s no genre of music more known for storytelling than country—it was born out of the rich tradition of the blues. @rockthesouth gives country music artists an opportunity to connect with their fans live, through the power of music. We come alongside the Rock the South team to bring the #TheBiggestPartyintheSouth to life through branding, social media management, and digital advertising. Follow along (if you aren’t already!) 😉🎸

Telling the story of your business, your journey, your team, and the people you serve is wildly important—but not quite as important as WHY you exist. An evocative story helps you create a deeper connection with current and potential clients and customers. Check out the link in our bio to learn four ways you can spruce up the story of your business and drive deeper connections from our Founder and Lead Storyteller, @laura_l_quick.

Mental health has always been important to our team, so it makes sense that former @goodgritmag staffer @courthancock_ would turn that passion into a non-profit. We had the pleasure of bringing @betterin12 to life, from start to finish. This included the industry research, naming concepts, brand story premise and brand design. The logo, inspired by the idea of finding balance in life, speaks to the mission—providing women in need 12 therapy sessions to make a lasting impact on their life.

Good Grit was born into the world with a mission—to tell damn good stories. But before there was an agency, there was the magazine. Since 2015, our team has been uncovering the heart of the South—because truth be told… we thought that it was about time that the South had a rebrand. For the last seven years, we’ve been collecting the best writers, photographers, and illustrators across the region to help us show the world who the South really is. Not to brag, but we’ve done a pretty damn good job. That’s where the agency came in.⁠ ⁠ In 2020, we started using our combined decades of storytelling skill in a new way—the people and places we lifted up in print? It was time to help them tell their stories outside the pages of the magazine. Through branding, copywriting, web design, and more, we’re helping the companies we believe in tell their story to an audience that will believe in them too. We’ve all got Good Grit within us. We can help you uncover it. ⁠
