StratLab Video Production in 2017

Oct 10, 2017/in Leadership, Motivation, Video/by Jeph

One of my favourite videos of all time. It made me tear up the first time I watched it. The part about this video no one really knows is Andy edited it the same day and had it to pride week organizers a few hours after the parade. The response online was overwhelming and I don’t think we would have had that type of response if we would have waited a few days or the regular week or two to ship the video. Hats off to you Andy!

Tourism Regina wanted a campaign to showcase what Regina is to us. That’s easy, we call it the greatest city you’ve never seen. The idea came when we had folks visit us from Fort McMurray visiting and they couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved the city. From Wascana park to the amazing night life, it’s easy to take Regina for granted, this short video puts into perspective all the different options you have in the Queen City. Read more

Just Try It! Cheat Codes on How to Differentiate from Jeph Maystruck

(From the night of!)

It’s hard to give a presentation on being different. So instead of talking about it I wanted to show people that creating and being different is something anyone can do.

We made a painting, a song, and a video!

Dress Code? Nah. Why You Won’t See Any Blouses or Ties at the Stratlab Office

Apr 16, 2017/in Advice, Community, Consumer Behaviour, Human Resources, Leadership, Regina, Strategy/by Jeph

In Ricardo Semler’s Maverick he tells the story about the first few times he came in on a weekend. The first thing he noticed “people dress differently when they come in on the weekend, why is that?”. They did it to be more comfortable. But don’t we want everyone to be comfortable when they are working all week long?

The dress code era at Semco was ended.

The executive dealt with the obvious backlash. “What if someone doesn’t want to do business with us because of the way someone is dressed in a meeting?” Ricardo’s answer; “if someone doesn’t want to do business with us because of the way one of our employees ‘looks’ then that’s probably someone we shouldn’t be doing business with”. Wow, that’s leadership.

Isn’t that simple? Why do you try to make your staff conform? Because you’ve always done that? That’s not a good reason why. Ask your staff, what they think, you may stumble upon a smart way to make your company culture better.

The “P” Word In The StratLab Office // eps 57 #InTheLab

Jan 10, 2017/in Advice, Customer Service, Regina, Stories/by Jeph

It’s about time we talked about the “P” word.

“Positivity”.

Stop being afraid of it and call out the pink Elephant in the room. Why is being positive looked down on? In a business setting if you come into the room excited, grinning ear to ear, people will ask if you’ve gone mad. I think we should encourage people to be happy, excited, down right ecstatic to be there. Why not, life’s too short not to have fun.

Why do we tolerate people in society that think life is about being “serious” and “professional”. Two adjectives this author doesn’t do very well with.

Bee happy

There’s a psychological side to being positive as well. Studies show that a positive mindset allows your brain to be more creative as well as increases white blood cell count helping strengthen your immune system. You can’t argue with science! Being happy keeps you healthy and makes you smarter.

In the @Stratlab office if someone is being negative, gossiping, talking ill of someone else, or just in general being a negative Nancy, we won’t tolerate it. We blow the horn of negativity.

Yes you read correct. Born out of Big Idea Camp as a way to keep everyone positive, the Horn of Negativity is an air horn that rarely got used. We started it as a joke and it’s lasted ever since. The team knows now not to be negative, no gossiping or else they’ll get an ear full.

Lastly, it’s easy to be negative. It’s easy to be a critic. It’s easy to sit at the sidelines and complain. It’s easy not to put in any effort and just expect change to happen. But that’s not how life works.

It’s much harder to try to change things. It’s much more difficult to help look for solutions, to not complain without being willing to be a part of the change.

Take the difficult path, be a positive change agent in society. Man we need now more than ever.

A 2016 @stratlab Year in Review

Dec 31, 2016/in Regina, Stories/by Jeph

Those who think they can change Regina are the ones who do. -@Stratlab, 2016

What a year it was! The StratLab Fam had some ups and downs but all in all it was a stellar year! We said goodbye to Miranda, Jeremy, and Braedon. With a big smile we welcomed to the team Anastas, Brooke, Addison, and Marc. Whether it was some amazing new non-profts we got to work with, the visits to Fort McMurray before and after the fires, or hosting another wildly awesome Big Idea Camp, it was a another fun filled year.
Some New stickers, some old ones too!

NEW STICKER WEEK!! Remember, laugh more, whole ass one thing, donut be negative, go big, change the world, you’re frickin’ amazing!

A few amazing trips to Fort McMurray for Brandon, Eddy and Jeph this year. A horrible tragedy but an amazing community rebuilding itself. A month after the fire Layers Wellness held a “Wild Fire” party, to celebrate the community that wasn’t broken, only made stronger. Read more

Carter from Strategy Lab designed my website better than I could have ever imagined. He took care of everything. Super professional and speedy! Thank you!

Jeff LS Security

We have worked with Strategy Lab for over ten plus years. Brandon has always been a true pleasure to deal with. He is very creative and made the design process very easy. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a New Design or Revamp of an old Website.

Doug Dimen

Brandon and his crew at Strategy Lab are amazing to work with. Not only are they very knowledgeable but they go out of their way to make sure their customers are beyond happy. Highly recommend!

Smb Construction

Fantastic experience with this company. They made things very easy and at a very affordable price. Will definitely continue to use this company in the future.

Carter Bezan

I honestly don't even know where to start with this crew over at Strategy Lab! We went to them on a whim from recommendations by a few other entrepreneurs in our city. We went to them over the big name companies who specialize in what Strategy Lab does because of the love that was being shown from people they'd worked with. To say we were blown away is an understatement!!! Jeph, David, Carter and Brandon took our social media and marketing to a whole new level and not just that but helped develop us into managing it ourselves in the end. They helped us create awesome content for our website and social media game as well as our advertising campaigns. Content the grabbed our audience and increased all of our viewing and impressions on everything we posted. Thank you doesn't cover the feelings of gratitude we have for the team at Strategy Lab. We cannot wait to see what they can help us do in the next year!! PS, we've only been working with them for 5 months!

Brenda MacLauchlan

Brandon and Jeph worked with Astonished! Inc. to create a beautiful website that reflects Astonished! and they are right there for any technical support we need. Thanks Strategy Lab

Jenni Bast

The Strategy Lab Crew will always be my GO TO for Marketing business and help. They did a (Real Estate) Business Video for me about 5 years ago and I am still proud to share it around the on-line world today. They are innovative thinking, creative minded, professional, approachable & a fun group of people. I have went to their past Social Media courses and have learned a lot. I have and will continue to refer anyone and everyone to them as I think very highly of them and their work!

Matt Robertson

Not all heroes wear capes. We wanted to make a difference in our community by undertaking an ambitious charity event. These things tend to be a lot more wok than anticipated and it was obvious the event would need a strong web presence to grow. That is where Strategy Lab became not a vendor, but a partner. Very quickly in our engagement with their passionate team, the vision of a website transferred from our shoulders to theirs. They took the ball and ran with it and the resulting website is incredible and much better than anything we could have envisioned. Thanks to their efforts, our plans for an annual charity event have grown quickly, and the impact in our community is significant. If you want an innovative and energetic team to make your online presence shine; look no further.

Tanisha, Marc and team do a fantastic job and are wonderful to work with :D

Mederic Lanoix

Jeph and all the crew are amazing to work with and provide a very high quality service. Highly recommended!!!!
