Stepping into the Co-CEO Seat
As someone who has been in ‘the industry’ as long as I have, I have borne witness to good teams, bad teams, mismanaged teams, productive teams, and everything in between.

Vocal Subscribe: Say Hello to Your Audience!
Since we joined the Vocal platform a little over a year ago, the platform has continued to develop its design, features, and functions available for both creators and their audiences. The Vocal Team have gone to great lengths to listen to their users, and despite writing on the platform for a short amount of time, we have had multiple opportunities to have our voices heard and help to shape Vocal into a platform that provides us with the tools necessary to continue to create. From surveys to reward-based interactions, it’s clear that the creators on Vocal have a base understanding of what they need as creators, and the Vocal team are quick to respond to their suggestions. I am thus delighted to share my evaluation of arguably one of the most sought-after features on the platform – allowing audiences to subscribe to their favourite creators.
