We had a great time attending the GALAA 26 hosted by AAF Buffalo A on Friday and are excited to share that clevermethod took home Gold!

Our team received a Gold ADDY in the Online/Interactive – Consumer Website category for “Here’s The Buzz on Snacking Fun.” (Check it out here - https://lnkd.in/ewRr7WBR)

This recognition reflects the thoughtful strategy, design, and development work our team puts into every digital experience we build. We’re incredibly proud of the collaboration behind this project and grateful for the clients who trust us with their platforms.

Congratulations to all of the other winners and thank you to AAF Buffalo for a great evening celebrating the creative work happening across our community.

AI isn’t replacing SEO.
It’s redefining it.

Search behavior is shifting fast — and it’s no longer just about ranking on Google. It’s about showing up inside AI-generated answers.

So what actually matters now?

✔️ Authority
✔️ Structure
✔️ Depth
✔️ Technical clarity

The fundamentals aren’t gone. The expectations are just higher.

If AI is answering your customer’s questions… is your brand part of the answer?

When CCIDA launched Choose CHQ and Live CHQ, they needed more than a refresh—they needed clarity.

By unifying three agencies into one cohesive, ADA-compliant platform, we helped create a digital home that serves both investors and future residents—without confusion or clutter.

We heard that 2026 is the new 2016. So we’re throwing it back to some of our team in 2016 😄📸

Drop a 🙌 if you remember this era!

Today we’re celebrating Dana and her retirement from clevermethod, along with the lasting impact she’s made on our team, our clients, and our culture. 💙

Dana’s journey with clevermethod spans two chapters, beginning in 2003 and coming full circle in 2023. In every role she held, she led with integrity, humor, and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed.

Beyond her accomplishments, she’s been a steady, thoughtful presence whose perspective and care made all of us better.

As Dana begins this next chapter, we’re grateful for everything she’s given and proud to have been part of her journey. Thank you, Dana—you will be deeply missed, and we wish you nothing but happiness in retirement. 💐

✨ From all of us at clevermethod—Happy Holidays! ✨

As we close out the year, we’re thankful for the relationships, ideas, and collaboration that made it such a rewarding one. To our clients, thank you for trusting us to build, grow, and create alongside you.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a new year full of momentum and possibility.

Happy 2nd work-iversary (again!) to Dana 🎉 After 9 amazing years with clevermethod the first time around, we’re so lucky to have her back for round two. Here’s to more great work and even greater memories together!
