@Ryan During the time of not using Mailchimp for SOM, we had 2 new membership request come in. I did some troubleshooting this morning and discovered the Gravity Forms Mailchimp add on plugin was disconnected and our WP Mail SMTP plugin for sending emails from WordPress was completely missing. I was able to get both reconnected and working properly. I wanted to give you guys a heads up as it's something I will monitor closely moving forward.
Thank you again @Mark Hines for providing the credentials I needed to get the WP Mail SMTP plugin reconnected. [FYI @Andy Rogers @Adrienne Hester]
Great. Did the subscriptions get processed as a result @LaToya and @Adrienne Hester?
@Ryan, these are not subscriptions; they are two individuals interested in SOM membership. The forms were sent to Marlon Kimpson's new assistant to manage the process. [FYI @Andy Rogers]
Thank you, just wanted to make sure they were serviced.

@Julie-Margaret Johnson use this tile with a higher res image.
@Adrienne Hester I only have access to the som LinkedIn and Facebook accounts, do you have the credentials for IG and X ?
@Julie-Margaret Johnson, have you checked in Loomly? You should have full access in that platform.
@Adrienne Hester Fu's post has been posted on all of the som social platforms.
@Adrienne Hester update to Fu's post for IG, It's asking that I manually publish and I need SOM IG credentials to do that from my phone.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson update the doc in the drive before EOD - Hashtags: These are in the shared drive in the folder 2024. Create 2024 hashtags for the conference.
@Adrienne Hester hashtags are on the doc
@Julie-Margaret Johnson Tomorrow, please create a doc in the drive and find all current board members per platform and their firms. They will need to be tagged on future posts. Once we have an agenda, speakers and their firms/agencies will also need to be tagged. Update here when complete. Thank you.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson, post to all social media and tag Ron and his firm. Every time you post, the person, firm, or agency must be tagged. Thank you.

@Adrienne Hester this is going to get cut off on instagram
I can post it to linkedIn and facebook no problem
any way you can make it 1080x 1080
@Julie-Margaret Johnson change the ratio to 16:9 for IG.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson, update here when tasks are completed.
@Adrienne Hester it's scheduled for 9:20 am
@Adrienne Hester with the 16:9 ratio that you gave me, Instagram unfortunately still cut off Ron's face. Moving forward can we get a template put in place for Instagram that is 1080x1080, please.
Loomly could be the issue as well
@Julie-Margaret Johnson, I will make a copy of the Canva file and add you to resize it to 1080x1080. From now on, you will adjust the size for IG.
@Adrienne Hester I don't have the credentials for Ig to manually go in to adjust the size.
@Adrienne Hester if you could send me the user and pass, I would be happy to resize it.
@Adrienne Hester the updated social assets have been posted to Instagram.

- It doesn't have the tags that were provided on May 24.
- Posts are to be scheduled every 2 days.

@Adrienne Hester @LaToya has a few more social assets to work on, but please see the updated calendar attached below.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson, the tiles look great with the messaging. This will need to be reformatted for ease of use. Attached are images. The client should see the tiles side by side. I added an additional page at the end to place the tags. As sponsors grow and the possibility of new members to SOM increases, the tags will grow, too, and they will need to know they are current. FYI @Ryan @Andy Rogers
@Julie-Margaret Johnson please provide an update on the quotes document ๐:skintone4:. Thank you.
@Adrienne Hester whats the higher priority, the quotes that you asked me for on friday or the updated content calendar.

@Julie-Margaret Johnson X and LinkedIn tags are missing. Add them back to the attached document.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson @LaToya, I have Attached the images spreadsheet. I will update the spreadsheet with the notes we talked about this morning.
Message One Being the first, I am acutely aware of my responsibility, representing the efforts of many who came before me. Our mission is to break down barriers and open doors for people of color in the legal field, fostering a more diverse representation among attorneys. We are working towards a future where it is the norm for black and brown attorneys to be leaders in MDL cases. The historical disparities that have disadvantaged us are why we initiated Shades of Mass and why our 3rd Annual Shades of Mass Conference is a crucial step in this journey.
Embrace the exclusive opportunity to be part of a momentous occasion in Texas at the Marriot Marquis Houston on September 19-21, 2024. This is a unique chance to contribute to advancing diversity and leadership in the legal field. Source: Second Annual Shades of Mass Conference / Fontainebleau Miami, FL / Sept. 21-23
Message Two Shades of Mass is about what this country should be. And itโs aspirational. Itโs about lawyers and people who reflect everybody on this soilโฆ So, if you ask why we took our children out of school to be here, it's because what weโre doing is on the backs of people who did it for us. So I may be a lawyer who didnโt exist a decade ago, and our children are here, so they know their duty in moving forward to make a more just world where everybody is represented, where everybody has justice. Source: Second Annual Shades of Mass Conference / Fontainebleau Miami, FL / Sept. 21-23 Video: 4312 Time Stamp: 1:13_2:07
The rest of the video explains how SOM was developed. A lot of great messages you can create from it.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson @LaToya Larry Taylor, Jr. ROCKS! He approved his quotes on the attached spreadsheet; the third is new today. Fu and Ben's quotes are public. We can use theirs. Note: The other board member quotes are not approved for use. Also note, be ready for long quotes.
"Being an attorney of color can sometimes be a lonely journey, especially in certain legal spaces. But amidst the challenges, the beauty of Shades of Mask shines through. It serves as a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our pursuit of justice. In this collective, we find brothers and sisters of all nationalities united in our common goal. Together, we share resources, knowledge, and unwavering support, propelling us forward in our relentless pursuit of justice. As a board member of Shades of Mask, I am filled with excitement for the upcoming conference, where we will come together to further strengthen our bonds and empower each other on this remarkable journey."
@Melanie Macias see the message below too.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson @LaToya the quotes spreadsheet above is approved.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson Please provide an update by EOD of the SOM July post schedule so the tiles can be created. We can now add quotes starting with Fu and then Larry. Thanks! FYI @LaToya
@Adrienne Hester did merady get back to you on the initial messaging that you sent over?

@Adrienne Hester please see the updated messaging below.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson, this is a good schedule. FYI @LaToya

โข We need to recognize them as they come in.
โข Each post needs a CTA link and hashtags.
โข Update the name of the doc with REVISED and the date.

@Julie-Margaret Johnson, ETAโ , ๐:skintone4: please?
@Julie-Margaret Johnson
- Fourth of July and Fu and Larry Taylor, Jr. quote posts need a CTA link and hashtags

- Versus, JAMS, and AAJ sponsorships still need to be added
@Adrienne Hester aaj is on there and do you want versus and jams listed in there own individual posts or add them to the aaj post?
Okay, I see it now, @Julie-Margaret Johnson. When they come simultaneously in the same tier adjust the copy to recognize them together. Less work.

@Julie-Margaret Johnson how is the above approved July schedule tiles adding them to the doc coming along? You will need to add the new sponsor Perfect Claims social tag.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson all the dates say June. Also, the 4th of July post need to be on the 4th. Please update. And don't use the animated Delta and United tiles. Please remove the cartoon airplane.
@Adrienne Hester I made the initial changes you gave me on Canva below is the updated copy.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson, start adding the video clips to the stories/reels and creating the highlights on the IG page using the time stamps provided on the spreadsheet above. I'm looking over the July calendar now.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson Edits
- Schedule the first three posts.
- Larry's quote is for the tile. The message should be something else. Attending, learning from award-winning lawyers, and mentorship on navigating a career. Or something to that effect.
- Remove the hyperlinks on the hashtags
- Remove the word bolded Registration from above the message
- July 8 sponsors post: make it EisnerAmper, Everlaw, and Massive only
- July 16 sponsors post: make it Perfected Claims and Verus LLC only
- July 18 and July 30: Don't use the cartoon plane. Don't animate the tile. Move the SOM logo to the top, increase the size, and center it.
- July 20: The quote is for the tile. Create a message targeting law students and how they are future.
- Embrace the exclusive opportunity to be part of a momentous occasion in Texas at the Marriot Marquis Houston on September 19-21, 2024. This is a unique chance to contribute to advancing diversity and leadership in the legal field.
- July 22: Decrease the size of the AAJ logo. Have all the logo animate for consistency.
- The sponsor tags are missing from the doc. I attached a screenshot of the version (June 25 ๐:skintone4:) that should have been updated with the tiles.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson, please create a new individual sponsor message and tile for Pioneer of Justice Bespoke Capital Consulting to post in the month of July. Drop it here for review. Thanks! FYI @LaToya
The tile looks good, @Julie-Margaret Johnson
@Julie-Margaret Johnson, please provide an ETA on the July content calendar edits.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson
- Larry Taylor's post message is good. Capitalize Third Annual
- July 16: Remove the word Sponsor from the IG tile.
- July 18: On the tiles 1. Left justify the copy 2. Have Discounts available... on the same line. 3. The dates are September 19-21, 2024. 4. in the message, correct the dates.
- July 20: Capitalize Justice, Equality, Third Annual (good message) / remove the sponsor hashtags
- July 22, 24, 26, 29: it's always full conference title - The Third Annual Shades of Mass Conference/ Change to: We're seeking sponsors to help elevate our mission to new heights. Letโs create something unique together!
- July 28: Change to: The benefits of becoming involved with... / Capitalize Diversity and Inclusion
- July 29: Capitalize Mass Tort
- July 30: On the tiles 1. Left justify the copy 2. The dates are September 19-21, 2024. 3. In the message correct the dates.
@Adrienne Hester Please keep in mind that the dates that you want me to change on items 3 and 8 I pulled from the SOM website, and its advertising the date that the discount is available for airfare, not the dates for Shades of Mass. With Item #5 I don't understand what you're asking because there are four different messages that all say the full conference title. (Maybe Latoya can help you out with that. )
@Julie-Margaret Johnson
- The airfare dates, I understand. Thanks for pointing that out.
- TAs for July 22, 24, 26, 29: it's always full conference title - The Third Annual Shades of Mass Conference/ Change to: We're seeking sponsors to help elevate our mission to new heights. Letโs create something unique together! July 22, 24, 26, 29: it's always full conference title - The Third Annual Shades of Mass Conference is in the copy and NOT the tile. Should it be incorrect on the tile templates created for you by @LaToya, you can quickly fix it. Please let me know if you have any other feedback.
@Adrienne Hester That CTA only applies to the July 26 message..
@Julie-Margaret Johnson please go into the scheduled 4th of July post and update the copy to By attending this year's Third Annual Shades of Mass conference and replace the tile with the attached. On the doc the FB version elements are not aligned.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson in the copy in the doc, the conference title is always the Third Annual Shades of Mass Conference. Review each message and update.
@Julie-Margaret Johnson the edit was to remove the word sponsor on the tile to be consistent with the other sponsor tiles. Not to add to the FB tile with an exclamation point. Please fix.
@Adrienne Hester for the sake of less back and forth make whatever changes you need to the copy.
As you do in fact have access to it
@Adrienne Hester the advocate of equality social asset doesnโt make sense without the word โsponsorsโ.
@Adrienne Hester you have a copy of the working files on canva, should you need to make any further changes, please go ahead and do so.

*Thread Reply:* Are we using SharpSpring as the medium for the emails? @Adrienne Hester
*Thread Reply:* @Adrienne Hester, what would you like the subject line for these emails to be?
*Thread Reply:* @Korbin What is the character count for the subject line? I can't remember.
*Thread Reply:* @Adrienne Hester 150 max characters
*Thread Reply:* @Korbin Invitation: Third Annual Shades of Mass Conference
*Thread Reply:* Emails have been sent. This project is complete.
@Adrienne Hester FYI @Ryan
@Korbin Let's test each attached image as the header. FYI @Ryan
@Korbin โข Adjust the font so it's not so small and that it fits underneath and within the image parameters โข "From" is Fu and the info email address โข See the test emails from last year to use as a reference
@Adrienne Hester, I sent the second test email with revisions
@Korbin what are the font sizes? And unlink Shades of Mass in the first sentence.
@Adrienne Hester
Header size is 13 Body size is 14 Footer size is 10
Shades of Mass is not linked on my end.
@Adrienne Hester, what is the mailing address for SOM?
@Korbin when we finally send the test to the client sent to Porsha, Meredy, Fu and Larry Taylor Meredy Dambacher <meredy@dicellolevitt.com> Diandra Debrosse Zimmermann <fu@dicellolevitt.com>, Larry Taylor <ltaylor@cochrantexas.com> Porsha Burns <pburns@cochrantexas.com>
@Korbin that test looks good! recreate it 6 more times for each. I will email the above that a test is coming. Hold please.
@Adrienne Hester , for MailChimp if pressing them to restore our account is not possible on their end, weโll have to start a new account.
Weโll need to ensure the website membership and website registration La are updated to post to new account.
Plus upload the last master list, where you can have Korbin really clean it up from the columns used to the data quality and start camping journey from scratch.
With the lack of standards on our first shot at configuring MailChimp, the past couple of years, this might be a blessing in disguise. Iโll be a little extra work to get it ready for conference.
@Ryan I am the only one with the issue. @Korbin can upload the list and he's been aware for a while about starting new journey's and making a fresh start in the platform. The first are the judge's emails that are sending today.
@Korbin approved to send the remaining tests to: Meredy Dambacher <meredy@dicellolevitt.com> Diandra Debrosse Zimmermann <fu@dicellolevitt.com>, Larry Taylor <ltaylor@cochrantexas.com> Porsha Burns <pburns@cochrantexas.com>
*Thread Reply:* @Adrienne Hester, all test emails have been sent
@Korbin the additional test emails arrived with the font appearing purple. Please fix and only resend to only me and Meredy. Thank you. FYI @Ryan
@Adrienne Hester, I am sending Judge Lindsay with CSS corrections FYI @Ryan
@Adrienne Hester, I can see the CSS was not corrected. I am attempting another try FYI @Ryan
@Adrienne Hester, I am sending Judge Hood with CSS corrections FYI @Ryan
@Korbin only send it to me until this issue is resolved. Contact support to see if they can provide a quick resolution. These are time sensitive and need to go out. FYI @Ryan
@Korbin I sent a text to Meredy about receiving all 7 actual emails. I'm waiting for her response. FYI @Ryan
@Cameron Rentch @Andy Rogers @Ryan I'm on SOM planning meetings every Wednesday at 10 am starting next week. I will provide recaps here.
@Korbin, all 7 emails look great. Please move forward with sending them. Thank you! FYI @Ryan
*Thread Reply:* @Adrienne Hester, just to confirm...
You would like for me to go live and send all 7 emails to the corresponding Judges. Is that correct? FYI @Ryan
@Ryan @Andy Rogers @Cameron Rentch @LaToya @David Evans The agenda is on the site and Fat Joe is the entertainment. https://events.navisinc.com/somcon24/
@LaToya please edit Fuโs name throughout the website to Diandra โFuโ Debrosse (no Zimmerman) with two exceptions (on the initial press release and follow up). FYI @Ryan
@Adrienne Hester I've updated the Fu's name on the website. I didn't change the press releases/news posts.
@Korbin, please send stats for the judges email sent the other day. I need to send to Porsha and Larry ASAP. Thank you. FYI @Ryan
*Thread Reply:* @Adrienne Hester FYI @Ryan
Only 2/7 Judges opened the emails. Would you still like the data?
@Korbin yes, I need the data. I will ask the client about sending the emails multiple times. You will need to create a journey. FYI @Ryan
@Adrienne Hester - Reports for the Ad-Hoc Judges email FYI @Ryan
@Korbin, if I am reading these correctly, only Judges Gilmore and Kipness opened the emails. FYI @Ryan
@Korbin @Ryan, we will have 45 panelist invite emails to send out tomorrow. Once I have the finalized verbiage and emails, I will place it here. FYI @Cameron Rentch @Andy Rogers Korbin:
- Use the attached image as the header for the email.

@Melanie Macias 2024 hashtags and tagging handles
@David Evans @Andy Rogers @LaToya @Melanie Macias @Cameron Rentch tentative ballroom and meeting space set up. Soft seating is contingent on costs. The white screens provide an opportunity for Shield branding.
@LaToya, please add Navan Ward Navan.Ward@beasleyallen.com to the Membership page in the footer under Apply Today after Marlon. Add Navan and Darneshia.Whitfield@beasleyallen.com to receive the Membership Request Submission: https://shadesofmass.org/membership-request-submission/. Thank you!
@LaToya, coming our way is a list of marketing collateral dimensions, e.g., lanyards, directional signage, etc., to create a template for Navis Events to edit with sponsor names, etc. FYI @Cameron Rentch @Andy Rogers
@Adrienne Hester sounds good! Thank you for the update!
@Melanie Macias redlines from Meredy. Please send me the remaining August calendar for her review. We need to double up on posting ASAP to help encourage registration. Thank you.
@Melanie Macias, please soon add Ben and Larry's videos to the social rotation. I also need the remaining August calendar. Thank you.
Hi @Adrienne Hester thank you for the reminder. Itโs been nonstop on our end in London with TikTok. I will get back to you as soon as we have a free moment.
@Melanie Macias, Fu would like a "count down calendar post that mentions Fat Joe" to push on LinkedIn. Please send me the remaining August calendar so I can take a look at it and add to it. FYI @Andy Rogers
@Adrienne Hester Please elaborate when you say count down calendar post. Iโm not quite sure I understand the request. @Andy Rogers
@Melanie Macias I need the remaining calendar to send for review. The count down is how many posts are scheduled mentioning Fat Joe and when they will post. @Andy Rogers
@Adrienne Hester just spoke to Andy regarding how important SoM is. Besides the remainder of the August content calendar and the countdown outline for Fat Joe, is there anything else that is needed for social media? @Andy Rogers
@Melanie Macias ๐:skintone4: above regarding redlines and double up on posting ASAP to help encourage registration. We are creating new Fat Joe tiles. @Andy Rogers
How many new fat joe tiles is @LaToya creating? This way I can plan for captions.
We have post set through August 14th, and I am finishing the remainder of the calendar now.
Do we realize posting multiple times to a channel in one given day can lead to the opposite effect in engagement and lead to a negative engagement?
I drafted captions and provided them to you. Those are approved by the client. We understand the multiple postings and had a conversation regarding it last year. This is the client's request, and we need to do it. @Melanie Macias @Andy Rogers
Will do @Adrienne Hester. Please take a look at the remaining August plan to send to Meredy. Please keep in mind, the redline above for Fat Joe and General Agenda Messaging will be scheduled per this request. Please let me know when the 7 tiles for Fat Joe are complete.
@Adrienne Hester - Larry's video is already scheduled for Facebook and IG to go live tomorrow. I will work on scheduling this video from Ben Crump. Thank you.
@Adrienne Hester please see this posting outline for socials to send to Fu. I don't have the creative yet, but we can show her that every week leading up to the conference, we will be posting for Fat Joe with the first post going live this Friday. I will need 7 different branded tiles, please -- could you help facilitate this? These will be separate posts from the "end of August" plan I sent you earlier. cc: @Andy Rogers
@Melanie Macias, please include hashtags on all the posts and place them in the comments so the page doesn't redirect to the hashtag. Thank you.
Yes, @Adrienne Hester. I was planning on doing that when scheduling.
@Cameron Rentch, @Andy Rogers, and @LaToya, we are managing the conference artwork and graphics for directionals. I've attached last year's signage created by Grant Patterson, now an associate attorney at DiCello Levitt, along with the working agenda outlining ballrooms. @David Evans, let's talk tomorrow about additional opportunities for Shield presence. We should also update the PowerPoint presentation template while we're at it.

Thanks, @Adrienne Hester, I downloaded all the Word docs with messaging for posts; however, please send over the graphics accompanying these posts. Thank you! @Cameron Rentch
@Melanie Macias That was the first. I've attached the tiles for the messages. There are multiple options in some. Please use as many versions as feasible for variety per social outlet, especially with Juneteenth. Thank you. @Cameron Rentch @Andy Rogers @David Evans @LaToya
@Melanie Macias, here is the next batch. More to come. FYI @Cameron Rentch @Andy Rogers @David Evans @LaToya Benefits of Membership Conference Countdown Travel
@Adrienne Hester, would you mind sending everything at once? Iโd rather have it all upfront instead of getting it bit by bit. @Cameron Rentch @Andy Rogers
@Melanie Macias, they are coming as we get final approvals. There is more to come. This is it for today. FYI @Cameron Rentch @Andy Rogers @David Evans @LaToya
Understood. Please hold off on sending additional content until everything is finalized. I spoke with @Cameron Rentch last week, and in order for me to best support the execution of these posts, it would be most helpful to receive everything in a single, organized batch. In the meantime, Iโll get started on scheduling whatโs already been sent over. Thank you.
@Andy Rogers
Good morning @Adrienne Hester! I'm sending over a Google Document template for you to use to send over deliverables for Shades of Mass. This is the template that Jennifer & I use to seamlessly send monthly social calendars to clients. Please let me know if you have any questions on how to fill it out. This should help streamline the process. Thank you!
@Cameron Rentch @Andy Rogers @Jennifer Durnell @LaToya
@Jennifer Durnell has joined the channel
@Melanie Macias the form is reminiscent of what the former social media specialist would put together for social distribution, what your department worked on last year for our client. I've attached an older calendar. I've provided and will provide the tiles and messages. It is now in your department to schedule. @Andy Rogers @Cameron Rentch @LaToya @Jennifer Durnell
Yes, we are happy to schedule. I did confirm with @Cameron Rentch that while Iโm executing on the backend, heโd like you to manage and organize the content into a complete calendar - basically spoonfeeding the rollout so I can commit and follow through without missing details.
Whether you use the template I sent or the older format you attached, it just needs to include each post for the upcoming 2025 event with the corresponding image and caption. That way I can schedule everything seamlessly without needing to go back and forth or piece things together.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, and I appreciate your help getting this organized. @Andy Rogers @Jennifer Durnell @LaToya
@Adrienne Hester, Iโve been informed that youโll be taking over the SOM social media. Please donโt hesitate to reach out if you need anything. Thank you. @Cameron Rentch @Andy Rogers @Jennifer Durnell
