October at the Hive
New faces, plaid, birthdays, Halloween shenanigans and the official kickoff to Q4. Holiday mode is officially on.
We are officially in the busiest stretch of the year. Holiday campaigns, client events, travel and a whole lot of moving pieces are ahead. Thank you in advance for keeping the momentum going and supporting each other through it.
Countdown to Christmas
In agency time, Christmas is basically tomorrow. Here’s your live reminder of exactly how much holiday season we have left.
October at the Hive
Wear Your Plaid
Plaidurday is Friday, so we’re celebrating a day early. Break out your best flannel, tartan or aggressively Yooper plaid.
Rhet’s Birthday
Our one and only October birthday. Make sure Rhet feels appropriately celebrated before the weekend!
Dress Like a Co-Worker
This year’s Halloween theme is Dress Like a Co-Worker Day. Names will be drawn from a hat, so start studying your subject.
Plaidurday!
Plaidurday was dreamed up by a Yooper and is celebrated on the first Friday of October as a worldwide celebration of plaid. Since our office crew isn’t all here Friday, we’re starting the plaid party early on Thursday, October 1.
Meet Dylan Childs
We’re excited to welcome Dylan Childs to the Buzz team as our new Videographer!
Dylan brings more than 15 years of experience in video editing, production, photography and digital content. Most recently, he worked as a Video Editor for Ooni Pizza Ovens, creating brand, social and performance content. Before that, he served as Director of Digital Content at Waterloo Media.
He’s also an award-winning editor, taking home Best Social Video from the Austin Alliance for Women in Media in 2022.
Basically, he knows his way around a camera, an edit timeline and a deadline. We’re very excited to have him here.
HBD,
Rhet!
Rhet has October all to himself this year. Another trip around the sun, another perfectly valid reason for the hive to find some cake.
Buzz is Joining IJO
We’re officially joining the Independent Jewelers Organization!
IJO brings together independent jewelers and industry vendors through education, networking, buying opportunities, conferences and plenty of idea sharing.
For Buzz, that means another opportunity to get in front of independent jewelers, learn what’s happening inside their stores, build new relationships and bring fresh ideas back to our clients.

More details coming as we get closer.
Michael & Son’s Jewelry
The Buzz crew heads to Reno November 1–3 for our next Michael & Son’s Jewelry trip. A little video, a little creative work, and probably a lot of footage coming home with us.
Caught Making Honey
Reports have surfaced of several Buzz employees doing suspiciously excellent work.
It’s not always easy to see just how talented someone is when the work appears effortless. Leece is that person. I’ve watched a lot of people try to tackle the things she handles every day, and she deserves a shoutout for making it happen at Buzz!
Riley has consistently been the human in the office who is there for me, whether it’s for a question, a solution, a brainstorm, a laugh or a story. She’s incredibly responsive, and there’s not much I genuinely respect more in a coworker. Thanks for being supportive and always willing to help, even when it’s “not your job.”
Riley always has a positive attitude and brings so much creativity to the table! Two honey shoutouts in one month feels pretty well deserved.
