Connection matters. Showing up, sharing stories, and building trust isn’t just “marketing,” it’s about preserving our humanity.
That’s why The Flamingle 60 has always been more than a newsletter to us. For the past four years (186 issues and counting), we’ve poured in branding lessons, marketing shake-ups, and business nuggets that you’ve put into action.
We celebrate this milestone not just for the number, but for what it represents: consistency, growth, and connection with all of you.
The Flamingle 60 has always been a labor of love. Believe us, this takes a lot of thought, energy, and intention, but we prioritize it because it matters. We practice what we preach: if you’re going to do a newsletter, be consistent, be committed, and make it count.

Why Newsletters Matter
We’ll keep saying it: every brand needs its own newsletter and email list.
Here’s why:
- It’s your list. Direct access to your audience. No algorithms, no middlemen.
- It builds trust. Showing up consistently proves reliability, expertise, and commitment.
- It sparks growth. Newsletters drive awareness, engagement, sales, and loyalty.
- It creates connection. A chance to speak directly, in your own voice.
- It amplifies your brand voice. Newsletters should humanize your brand, show your personality and passions, and always bring value to your readers.
The real secret? Consistency. Whether you publish weekly, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly, please commit to it. Your audience will notice and appreciate it.
