HAPPY FRIDAY… THE 13th!!!!

Today is a day filled with superstitions, folklore, and weird stuff. I remember as a kid, this was one of my least favorite days of school. Why? Because I get spooked easily and I was overly defensive about how non-superstitious I was. So, this day traditionally meant that I would hear freaky stories, and then a chubby little version of myself would rant about how the whole thing’s fake and ultimately be a buzzkill. However, I ain’t that little kid anymore- I’m a full-grown boy. So, we’re reclaiming this day and we’re going to make this Friday the 13th AWESOME. We got GIFs, games, and good news. So hang on tight and get ready to spook yourself with happiness. LET’S GO!

GAME TIME!

A blue whale can weigh up to 352,739 lbs. Approximately, how many Batesville “classic Gold” metal caskets would it take to equal that same weight?
a) 1,038
b) 1,138
c) 2,838

HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME

You’re very busy. You have to be. This profession doesn’t lend itself to copious amounts of free time and a light workload. So, wouldn’t it be nice to have some backup? Wouldn’t it feel freeing to have people you trust working with your company and brand? Well, DISRUPT Media wants to give you those feelings and so much more.

Not only does DISRUPT Media provide you with a digital marketing strategy, 24/7 page monitoring (reading messages, responding to comments, etc.), and the boldest ideas to help you pierce through the noise, but DISRUPT Media gives you a full-blown team. That’s right.

Members of DISRUPT Media have access to writers, graphic designers, creative developers, and an analytics team that all share the same goal: they want to see you succeed.

Sounds good? Too good? Well… good. It only gets better because this whole team only costs a third of what you might pay one full-time employee.See how DISRUPT Media can help you.

HOW TO GET THROUGH THE SLUMPS

We all have days when we just aren’t feeling it. That’s okay, you’re allowed to be human and not feel perfect all the time.That being said, sometimes all you need is a good laugh or smile to push you through and get you through the work day. Here are a few videos (all under a minute long) that are guaranteed to make you chuckle and give your mind a little break.

YOU OTTER BE PROUD

Let’s be honest, our profession gets a lot of negative press, so we’ve searched the internet to find stories of funeral things getting respect and doing great things!
