Creating Space

Is this the beginning of the end for graphic design, stock photography, and cheap logos? Or the start of something way cooler?

In this episode of Creating Space, Janette and Steve from Space Creatorz break down the game-changing update to ChatGPT’s image generation tools — aka DALL·E 3’s newest visual superpowers — and why it’s sending shockwaves through creative industries.

If you’re a marketer, founder, designer, or content creator, this is not one to skip.

We cover:

• What’s actually new (and kind of mind-blowing) in the latest ChatGPT image update
• How to prompt like a creative director — and why vibes finally work
• Real-life use cases you can try right now (product mockups, thumbnails, branded stock)
• Why stock photography might be done, and how Fiverr could feel the heat
• What this means for graphic designers, photographers, and creative agencies
• How to use AI as a tool — not a replacement
• The surprising reason non-creatives may struggle with the new tools

Sometimes the best marketing moments happen by accident. The Four Nations Hockey Tournament took place at a politically charged time between the U.S. and Canada, fueling national pride, rivalry-driven engagement, and a surge in digital conversations—but was this a strategic move or pure luck?

In this episode of Creating Space, we break down:
✔️ The impact of timing in marketing—how the political climate turned this tournament into a viral moment.
✔️ Why brands jumped on the rivalry (and how some missed the mark).
✔️ The power of nostalgia in sports marketing—how past matchups and legacy moments fueled audience connection.
✔️ How brands and businesses (big or small) can tap into cultural moments for marketing wins.
✔️ What we would have done differently to maximize brand partnerships and fan-driven content.

And in our listener Q&A, we answer: What's the best part of running a fully remote agency?

Is email marketing dead? Nope. But, if your emails aren’t engaging, personalized, and value-driven, they might as well be.

In this episode of Creating Space, we’re diving into why email marketing is making a massive comeback, how to use it to build community (not just sell), and the key strategies brands are using to drive serious ROI.

We also discuss:
✔️ The art of mistake marketing—how “oops” emails and strategic typos are boosting engagement.
✔️ How to avoid the #1 email marketing mistake that kills sales.
✔️ AI-powered copywriting—why great prompts = better email results.
✔️ The automations you NEED to nurture, convert, and keep your audience engaged.

And in our first-ever mailbag segment, we answer a listener question: How do you sell in the DMs without feeling salesy?
