Rebecca Todd

Graduating with her bachelor’s of education degree, Rebecca Todd knew the classroom wasn’t for her. Her passion for adventure carried her to educational publishing, and now she travels the globe and savors life on the road as a representative for Ivey Publishing. But she’ll always be an academic at heart, as evidenced by the meticulous annotations in the science fiction novels she loves to find in second-hand bookstores. When she’s not working on her list of the world’s best vegan restaurants, she enjoys hot yoga, hangs with her dogs, and sometimes thinks about working on her Victorian home.

Learning Styles: What Emoticons Can Teach Us

by Rebecca Todd I really don’t get emoticons. And before you start texting me an endless stream of them (*ahem* JSki), please allow me to explain. I am not passing judgement here, I am truly trying to bridge a chasm betwixt learning styles. I read constantly, and am rarely without a paperback in my bag, […]

Leadership Lessons from Outer Space and Cmdr Chris Hadfield

By Rebecca Todd One of my favorite science fiction authors, Robert Heinlein, always writes his male heroes with the same general stats – extraordinarily smart, handy, manly men, who are also romantic and passionate. Total swashbucklers. No wonder then that, like Lazarus Long, I find Chris Hadfield so captivating. He has the smarts of an engineer, […]

Gin and Topics: Dogs on Banjos, RDJ, and Really Hot Yoga!

By Rebecca Todd Will it surprise any of you to learn that I rode the short bus? (Editor’s Note: Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) Naw, somehow I didn’t think so. As I’ve gone on about in the past, I am from a small town. So small, in fact, it is not a town, […]

Gin and Topics: Dogs, Dancing, Divas, and The Daily Mail

By Rebecca Todd My Saturday morning tradition dating back to my childhood is to wake up slowly, watching some classic Canadiana on CTV. At 9:00 and 9:30, CTV2 plays back-to-back episodes of The Littlest Hobo, otherwise known as The Greatest Canadian TV Show of All Time. If you don’t know of it, a quick search […]

Gin and Topics: Snakes, Dogs, Cats, and Pigs Oh My!

By Rebecca Todd The shelves are eight feet high, packed tightly in no apparent order. The aisles between have stacks upon stacks of books of all sizes and descriptions. In order to gain access to the heart of it all, you must ask permission, and directions. When I do so, she parts a few of […]

Life on the Road, the Upward Spiral, and the Spin Sucks Community

The night is late. The sign reads “Blondie’s Wet Spot Bar” and I am seated between two very handsome men. I probably do not need this vodka in front of me, but Bacchus needs appeasing. There is a taqueria. We came here on the BART. I really do not know where I am. This is […]

Gin and Topics: Inspiration Edition

I awoke to my sister shaking my shoulders, holding me at the top of the stairs saying “Becki! Run! RUN!” I ran down the stairs with her hot at my heels. I had just turned 9 at the time, and while my memories of this fateful night are disjointed, they are also crystal clear. My […]

Gin and Topics: Dedication Edition

Let’s go back, waaaayyy back, back in time… It is Sunday night, and your pre-teen self is sitting in your bedroom, listening to the local radio station. You hear the DJ dedicating songs to listeners from other listeners, wishing and hoping that your name will be called. Maybe you even pick up the phone and […]

Who We Work With

Spin Sucks has helped leading brands and agencies operationalize PESO—from Fortune 500 brands and top-tier universities to agencies and solopreneurs.

Spin Sucks helped us do what every CMO talks about but few actually pull off—turn marketing into a measurable, strategic growth engine that delivered 6x performance improvement with the same resource investment. PESO isn’t just an operating system. It’s a competitive advantage.” — CMO, Fortune 100 Brand

I just received great feedback from a partner in Global Customer Office (operations) saying that while your Insight Circle doesn’t relate directly to his work, he found it really aspirational and inspirational! He came to learn more, and you exceeded his expectations.” — Learning Professional, Fortune 100 Pharma Brand

We started thinking about PESO as a way to ensure all media types are covered during our campaigns instead of leading with paid and bolting on other tactics. You’ve given us a completely new way of working that has infiltrated our daily workflows.” — CCO, Fortune 200 Financial Services Brand

During the PESO training sessions with you and your team, we had an internal goal of having 100% participation from a certain segment of marketers. Not only did we reach that goal, but we had a big cohort of optional learners, too.” — SVP of healthcare marketing, leading healthcare facility

Your Insight Circles were the most well-received training we’ve ever done. You averaged 150 attendees—during the summertime!—which is unheard of during normal business cycles, let alone in the middle of summer vacations.” — SVP, consumer marketing, Fortune 100 pharma brand
