OFFLINE is about changing how we think about our digital presence, how we use social media, and what it means to us as businesses.

 ABOUT OFFLINE

 

OFFLINE isn’t about quitting social media —most businesses can’t afford to. But neither can they afford to confine their growth strategies to a few major platforms. Today, the costs of online visibility have come to outweigh the benefits.

OFFLINE is about taking back control. A healthy relationship with social media requires an honest assessment of current habits, a plan for how to change things, and the resolve to see that plan through for good. We call for mindful social media practices, guided by healthful boundaries and balanced engagement.

OFFLINE is a pledge and a process. If you’re ready, change is coming.

 

STEP 1 #SURVEY

STEP 2 #PLAN

We commit to creating new goals for sustainable social media habits and establishing the methods and time frames for achieving them. 

STEP 3 #implement

We commit to putting our new plan into action and taking back ownership of our sales and marketing strategies and our well-being.
