With the new year upon us, we are counting our 2024 blessings - and that includes connecting with so many of YOU this past Spring at Academy in the City. We are so grateful that our return to Toronto included so many magical moments enjoyed with this community. You inspire us daily and we are SO incredibly grateful for you! 🙏

A new year always comes with it and electric energy filled with possibility. A new chapter. A blank canvas. A fresh start. We spend time strategizing, making plans, setting goals and feeling hopeful about what’s to come.

In 2025 we are dedicated to making special moments in new and creative ways- with our family, friends, our communities and beyond.

So our wish for you in 2025 - may your heart be light, your days bright and your dreams take flight! 💫

5 years ago, this was the very first post on The Atelier’s Instagram account (also, swipe for our very FIRST photoshoot)! And today, we are both raising a glass to cheers to FIVE years of The Atelier Collective!

When we set out to launch a women’s conference focused on education and experience, we had no idea what the journey ahead of us would bring.

Our original mission was to help empower and inspire ambitious women in business through the events we’d produce, but then a beautiful thing happened… we are the ones who have felt endlessly inspired by all of YOU.

Through the rollercoaster that’s been these 5 years, more than anything we are filled with immense gratitude - for the incredible connections along the way, stories that have inspired us, lessons learned, friendships made and especially grateful for this brilliant, vibrant and resilient community.

We cannot wait to reconnect with you all in 2023!

Lots of love,

Xo Ang + Taryn

Happy new year, Fam! (Can we still say that mid-Jan?!) 🎉

A new year always comes with it an electric energy filled with possibility and opportunity. A new chapter. A blank canvas. A fresh start.
We strategize, make plans, set goals. We envision a shiny future and carry a hope forward during the cold winter months. As we look ahead, we can’t help but feel a creative renaissance, where the opportunities to flourish and thrive look much different than they did three years ago.

In a gripping article we found titled “The End of Everything”, the author, Bobby Hundreds, dives into what it means to experience a renaissance, historically preceded by dark times (*ahem, Covid*). He highlighted that “the art that followed was some of the most groundbreaking and significant in world history, not just because of the hard reset on the rules around styles and substance, but because art was also appreciated anew: as science, as mathematics, as tools of power.”

Your blank canvas to create your version of art has arrived.

As we look to 2023, we are zeroing in on the sparks of opportunity that lie ahead in ways unusual and exciting.

For the inside scoop on what articles and stories ignite our creativity month by month, be sure to subscribe to our curated newsletter!

We can’t wait to see what this brilliant community creates this year, and look forward to connecting with you all again soon!

Much love,

Ang & Taryn

When women support one another, the possibilities are limitless. And today, on the four year anniversary of the VERY FIRST conference, we are reflecting in gratitude on the past few years of meeting the most incredible, resilient and inspiring women through The Atelier!

Four years ago today, we launched The Atelier’s Signature Conference in the middle of a vineyard and surrounded by a collective of ambitious women in business. Only months earlier, we had a vision for an event where women could come together to learn, connect and grow in a beautiful space where the energy was high and there could be an award-winning glass of wine in hand. 🍷 🎉

To us, that day felt like a dream come true seeing our vision come to life, and for the past four years, we’ve been so lucky to continue to host events—both in-person and online—and evolve our business in different ways, especially through the rollercoaster that has been the past 2 1/2 years!

So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for being along for the ride and being our source of fuel and inspiration. This community means the world to us, and we can’t wait to see you in person again SOON!

Love and gratitude, Ang & Taryn

Are you ready to give your social channels a 2022 upgrade? 💄 Here are three ways to elevate your brand socials in the new year:⁠
⁠
🎨 Develop / Refresh Your Brand Image Guide:⁠
⁠
Even if your photos are "stop the scroll" worthy or you’re a connoisseur of copy, a brand without any continuity can leave consumers feeling lost. That’s why it’s essential to create a streamlined look to help people quickly identify your brand! You can create mood boards on Pinterest with images that represent your brand before fully incorporating it into your brand guide!⁠
⁠
💻 Streamline Your Workflow⁠
⁠
Use your content pillars as the foundation for creating content to ensure you are always speaking to your ideal and intended audience! Then streamline the time it takes to create content on social by batching its creation - from idea generation to graphics, to copywriting ... batch it all!⁠
⁠
🎥 Videos, videos & more videos!⁠
⁠
With the amalgamation of Instagram Video & Reels, and brands jumping onto TikTok in record numbers, video content isn't going anywhere soon! If you don't feel comfortable showing up in your brand's videos, there are so many amazing ways to produce video - from behind the scenes to text-based to product shots ... the opportunity to create engaging video content is endless!⁠
⁠
As a business owner, we know you are keeping all the balls in the air, so just remember to keep going, stay consistent and don't be afraid to try new things! 👏 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
