For the past year, R GENERATION has been more than just a newsletter, it’s been a movement, a gathering of remote professionals, facilitators, and digital creators redefining collaboration. Now, we’re taking it a step further.

This month, we’re officially opening the doors to our Community Hub, a dedicated space designed for those who want to connect, learn, and grow in the remote-first world. And to celebrate, we’re inviting you, readers, to step inside with an exclusive surprise to unveil!

🏡 A PLACE TO CALL HOME FOR REMOTE PROFESSIONALS

Remote work is more than just a way to get things done, it’s a lifestyle, a mindset, and a global shift. At R GENERATION, we believe that the best way to navigate this transformation is together. Our Community Hub is built to be a home for digital pioneers, where remote professionals can find support, exchange knowledge, and co-create the future of work.

Inside, you’ll discover live mentoring sessions, interactive workshops, and a thriving network of like-minded peers. Whether you’re looking to level up your skills, find career opportunities, or simply connect with people who “get” remote work, this is the place to be - where we push the boundaries of what remote work can be.

In our latest We Are the (R)emotes webinar, we had the pleasure of welcoming Catarina Alencar, founder of Adverso Lab, to explore a fascinating approach to branding: how to humanize a brand by shaping its personality like a character. With years of experience designing brands for startups, corporations, and social impact initiatives, Catarina has developed a framework that helps companies define their identity, tone, and audience engagement in a truly human way.

Key highlights included

1. Brands Are Like Characters – A brand isn’t just a name or a logo; it’s a personality. Catarina’s method starts by asking: If your brand were a character from a movie or book, who would it be? This exercise helps teams define key personality traits that shape how their brand communicates and behaves.

2. The Power of Voice & Tone – Every great brand has a distinct way of speaking. Catarina demonstrated how defining a consistent voice - whether playful, authoritative, or inspirational - reinforces trust and recognition across all interactions.

3. Visual Identity Aligns with Personality – A brand’s look and feel should match its persona. From color choices to typography, Catarina shared how visual storytelling can enhance a brand’s emotional connection with its audience.

4. Community-Centric Branding – The most impactful brands don’t just talk—they engage. We explored how successful brands build relationships with their audience, ensuring that every interaction feels genuine and aligned with their core values.

One of the key themes that emerged during the session was how communities drive innovation in remote work? Successful remote teams aren’t just about productivity tools: they thrive when individuals feel part of something bigger.
