Thanksgiving’s my favorite holiday. No gifts, no pressure, just good food and good people.

Behind the CMO is taking the week off to do what this week was meant for: slowing down and appreciating what’s working.

Here are 10 things worth being thankful for this year:

Teammates who make work lighter.
Clients who make work matter.
A well-timed “let’s take this offline.”
A big idea that actually lands.
The clarity that comes from saying no.
Deadlines that keep us honest.
Mentors who remember when you were new.
Competitors who make you sharper.
The quiet moments between launches.
Your friendly neighborhood agency. And if you’re not thankful for yours, reach out to PCG. They might be the reason you are next year.

Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃
