Happy August everyone! July was a huge month for us, not just because it’s summer or because the community was active, but because I celebrated a birthday. That’s all that really matters.  JUST kidding. Since @Gabriel  is finally taking a holiday, I’m chiming in to give you all the roundup of July. I’ll try my best not to poke fun at @Gabriel  since he’s away and can’t defend himself.  

Hey all,Welcome to episode 4 with Kathryn Finney. Without writing a bunch of words, I’ll let my video do the talking: And here’s my conversation with Kathryn. Hope you enjoy:  With love,Paul 📺 You can watch more of the interviews in the Meaningful series here. You’ll find short films, interviews, and stories that help you become a brand that matters. 

Hello my friends! My name is Gabi and I'm the new Community Advocate here at Typeform! I just joined the company and couldn’t be more excited about being part of this fantastic community!  I’m a big believer in the power of community and that’s why I couldn’t resist the temptation to join this project. Together we’ll keep growing a friendly, exciting and useful space for all Typeform creators to exchange ideas, solutions and, more importantly, some jokes (I’m a big fan of dad jokes!). I’m Brazilian

Hey y’all. A little late on this one, but we’re back with episode 3. I did an interview with Bejamin Zander a few months back. Here are the reasons I wanted to interview him (besides his zest for life)  And pleased to present to you, Maestro Benjamin Zander (full interview below)  Enjoy

Happy July community 🌞 June’s Round Up comes a little late - things have been particularly busy at Typeform in the past weeks and it was hard to find a few minutes to sit down and reflect about the past month 🧘🏽‍♂️ Perhaps the most important event of the last month was my birthday 🤣 My wife bought me cheese and wine (like every year) and my son made a very artistic drawing which I find ‘marvellous’. No idea what it means though.  Luca's drawing I can’t confirm this information, but I heard that once Pica

Hey, happy Monday and welcome to episode 2 of Meaningful, featuring Adam Lisagor. He might not be a well-known name, but you may recognize his face on TV commercials, and his very popular product explainers, like this one and this one. Well, in case you’re still wondering why I interviewed him, I explain here:   And of course, the interview, for your viewing pleasure:  Enjoy everyone 

Hey all,Last year, we started Meaningful, a web series on what it takes to build a brand that matters. Why meaningful brands? Because meaningful brands outperform the average brands across all key metrics, including profitability. “Yeah, Paul, we get that, but why is Typeform talking about meaningful brands?” Well, because when we did some deep research of our most loyal customers, we found that people generally use Typeform and VideoAsk for one of two reasons: People care about looking on-brand. You can customize the look and feel of their typeforms (even down to customizing every single question), and VideoAsk couldn’t be more on-brand as it is because it features you, the face of your respective brand. People want to deliver the best on-brand experiences. We found that people really lov

We’re ‘the fun’ people. Or, at least, that’s what other departments think of us, the Employee Engagement Specialists at Typeform. As much as we love that label; for us, engagement goes beyond that. This often involves raising awareness of important issues along with other teams for the company and the employees. With these efforts, we want to create a space where meaningful conversations can happen. Pride Month is one of the topics we need to raise awareness for. It is an opportunity to embrace and celebrate diversity. It is also a moment to reflect and realize society still has a long way to go.  Diversity is much more than changing a company's logo colours for a month. Typeform believes that a company should actively promote diversity and enable employees to be their t

There are many examples of brands creating special moments, but you need to create your own. Here are two examples to learn from:  If you’ve designed a special moment, feel free to share your example so others can learn.Let’s make every interaction count.Paul

Keeping it simple, today. Here’s how I think about brand strategy. Hope it’s helpful.  Paul

I was challenged by a friend to do a quick presentation on why diversity matters for business. So, I made a short video. But let’s be clear. It doesn’t just apply to hiring. Think about what travel experiences do for you. Or think about traveling without traveling (reading, or some other immersive experience) and meeting with people who aren’t like you, etc.   Of course, you can always read McKinsey’s study on Diversity here. The point is, expose yourself to different ways of thinking, different perspectives and personalities, and different cultures & behaviors than yours.Just keep an open mind and your world, the world, benefits.Paul

Happy June folks 😎 Another month gone. Time flies when you are busy and working on great things.  We launched our community on January the 26th so we are now four to five months in this journey. This space keeps growing and I can’t wait until we reach the 5,000 member mark. I know, it’s just a number, but my ambition was to reach 5,000 by June and it looks like we are pretty much on track! June is Pride Month   and our colleague Tomi is driving some really cool content on social media. Make sure to follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and all

Not much to say that’s not said in the video. I think there’s many ways to unpack this…  

Thinking about the people who power our businesses today. We all want to bring our best self to work, but there are so many things that get in the way, so many friction points, and so much politics and ego to wade through.But it doesn’t have to be that way.Employees are people, too. If we give the same attention EX as we do to UX, and help people do their best work despite the challenges and obstacles in their way, we would’ve done a great thing for the overall bottom-line, sure -- but people also leave their workday behind with a sense of pride and accomplishment, thus impacting their home and community as an extension of a company’s potential impact.#peoplefirst

Hey Community,  This is @David Leon and me, coming at you with some pretty cool news about a new project we're working on at Typeform: SHIFT!  So, what is Shift? We're glad you asked. Shift is a new Typeform series that sheds light on Typeform customers that are doing great things for their community and in doing so, making the world just that much better. The Shift series will pair short and powerful documentaries with long form articles that will offer a truly reflective narrative of our customers and their journeys. 

Hello and welcome to part three in our series on Meaningful Conversations—our free, virtual, two-day event that’s happening in just over a week on April 20 + 21, 2021! If you want to start from the beginning you can read part one here and part two here. And if you want to register for our

I spent 15 years working in the food + beverage industry. I’ve been a server, a line cook, a bartender, a greeter. I’ve worked in catering, on a food truck, built restaurants from the ground up. I’ve written about food in print and online, and even briefly hosted my own cooking show. Perhaps you’re reading this and thinking, “She must really like food.” Well, that’s true—I do. But that’s not why I was so drawn to the food industry. Many people who work in the F+B industry don’t do it because they love food—it’s more personal than that. Food brings people together. Great conversations happen around great meals. There’s a special kind of joy, a wonderful closeness, that emerges when people connect around a dining table. And that

Howdy!March went really fast, it kind of slipped through my fingers which I guess it means we have been pretty busy here at the Typeform Community HQ.  Here are some community achievements that I’d love to share with you all:  We’ve reached 3,000 creators - woohoo! We are not far from reaching 1,000 community conversations! (aka topics started). On a weekly basis we have about 1,500 visiting the community already - keeps going up!

Well, well, well. Only after 64 days since launch date, our lovely Typeform online community has already reached 3,000 creators And that deserves a Cartlon Banks dance.   Im super grateful for everyone who has joined so far, we are growing and have plans to grow this place even further to help you all connect and - As @James - be badass at making typeforms. Creator 3,000 was either @jnewnam or @WebCars Group - can’t be 100% sure about it. Anyhow, thanks both for joining!Keep joining folks, we can’t wait to see what you are building. 

Last week we announced that our upcoming event, Meaningful Conversations, was officially live, and to celebrate I shared a bit about my why—why I do what I do, why I ended up at Typeform, and why I’ve poured so much of my heart and soul into our Meaningful Conversations event. If you missed that article, you can read it here. This week, I’m excited to take you behind the scenes and share more about how we’ve o
