TALK TO JULIA

The Back Labor Blog

Forty Weeks Founder Julia Beck takes you behind the velvet ropes in the brave new world of Bump and Baby. Pregnancy trends, media coverage of parenting, research and recent findings, celebrity pregnancy and baby, the business that keeps it all in motion are among the topics that Julia covers in her signature candid and open style.

I have no idea what Webster's says about it – but Julia says: Back Labor is the ultimate pain on the way to the most delicious reward! Back labor hurts like a bitch, but it's all worth it in the end. And that about sums up our "lives behind the velvet ropes" here at Forty Weeks. We invite you into our Labor Room – via the Forty Weeks' Back Labor Blog. Read about how we do what we do, and follow along our labor of love that really pays off for our clients, and hear a little about the juicy behind-the-scenes bits, too!

And Forty Weeks wouldn't be who we are without the people – our dedicated crew and the BFFs of Forty Weeks and, of course – you too! We love to hear your comments, so please join in the conversation.

Sometimes when I talk to future or present clients about “Momfiltrating” (this is the Forty Weeks method of reaching new and expectant women) it feels unclear to them. They ask how it is that we are able to touch Moms in key markets so well, on such a regular basis. Of course, the messaging, the strategy, the methodology are all part of the hard work that we enter into with our clients. As for the Momfiltrating – sometimes we design and develop large scale, customized programs (for example, Fashioning the Future last fall for Graco) and on other occasions (mostly but not always dictated by budget) we work with key groups across the country. One such group is METROPLEX MOMS – an expectant and new Moms group in the Dallas/Fort Worth market. Now, less you imagine a play group (for some reason, people imagine living rooms filled with expectant women when I discuss this topic) I thought showing you what a retail space filled with expectant women, pens and pad in hand and eager to learn about product (presenters included Oopa Baby, Graco, and more) might go a long way. This is a recent and very successful event in Dallas. Above and beyond working with our clients we also work with these groups to keep it going. Their success in linked to ours. And really – what an ideal situation!
