Where has the time gone?

We are in full summer mode here at Breaking Even, and if you are in the Northeast of the United States like we are, you know that fall time is right around the corner. Luckily we are surrounded with immense beauty for the season, but we have a feeling hunkering down is coming soon.

This month we will share some excellent free resources to sass up any design ideas you might have with a little extra flare. From animations, stock photos, icons, and journey mapping, we have you covered with several awesome websites for you to check out.

If there is a topic you want more information on or if you just want a fresh set of eyes on your own marketing as the season refreshes, let us know!

Have a great month from your friends at Breaking Even Communications, Nicole, Jane, Patti, Ben, and Jessica
