Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with crucial, charming, and marvellous stuff found all over the Internet.
Hello there. I am Joele and this is my weekly email I’ve been sending every Sunday for almost six years. This is the place where I put all the interesting things I find while working for brands and companies, helping them with their online presence.
🎵 Something to listen to: Mats Eilertsen - After The Rain
👉 The nonostantement archive - everything I sent in the past 5 years
By the way, did you know that there's a spotify playlist with all the tracks I've been recommending over the years?
You can find it here 👇 and it’s automatically updated every week.
