Am I Missing Something, Contra? So here’s a fun little mystery. I’ve had my Contra profile for 8 months. Fully complete. Verified. Polished like a showroom car. Contra Pro for 4 straight months. Got “Featured On” three times. Top 10% of creatives. Availability updated so consistently you’d think I was clocking in for a shift. And yet… my inbox looks like a ghost town. No DMs. No inquiries. Just silence.. the kind that makes you wonder if you accidentally blocked the entire platform. And I thought.. Maybe the algorithm hates me? Maybe the planets are misaligned.. Maybe Contra’s matchmaking is drunk! Or.. am I actually missing something? So I did the dramatic thing: I wiped everything. Now I’m rebuilding from scratch! But honestly, I can’t help but wonder: Am I missing something, Contra?

A client came to me saying.. “Our cold brew tastes amazing… but the packaging looks like it’s apologizing for existing.” Fair enough. So we gave it a glow-up. I redesigned everything with unapologetically bold typography, the kind that practically taps you on the shoulder in the grocery aisle and says, “Hey. You need me.” Then we paired it with that soft blue so it didn’t scare anyone before 9 AM. And the lion? That was for the customers who want to feel like they wake up early… even if they absolutely don’t. The funniest part? After launching the new look, the client messaged me saying: “People keep buying it because it finally looks like it has caffeine in it.” Mission accomplished. So I’m curious, have you ever bought something JUST because the branding slapped you in the face? I know I am guilty!
