In April, our client Sylvia Lewis was hosting an event to celebrate the new endowed status of the journal Meridians: feminism, race, transnationalism and she asked hasOptimization to set up an events page showcasing the event.

There are lots of people talking about pros and cons of Threads, but we want to share a few thoughts on its possible use by businesses.

So, you’re finally ready to start your new business—congratulations! As a small business that loves to help get other small businesses up and running, we’ve encountered a lot of things that surprise new business owners when it comes to getting started in the digital sphere. Running a business has a lot of moving parts, and even if you’re partnering with a person or business (like hasOptimization), you’re going to be expected to make a lot of decisions.  But never fear!

This month marks ten years that hasOptimization has been in business! Ten years is a long time (but also, it’s flown by), and this small business has come a long way! To celebrate hasOpt’s birthday, we wanted to share a little timeline of how the business came to be, and share some ideas about where we think it might go in the future. Buckle up while we go on a trip through time!
