Make it happen. With Squarespace.
Here we were, minding our own business, watching Charlie & the Chocolate Factory with the kids on a Saturday night.
When suddenly this ad comes up with Keanu Reeves, sitting by the fire in the desert, creating a Squarespace website (as you do).
What a brilliant move by Squarespace. It also means, Squarespace is getting traction. Becoming the #1 choice for new Entrepreneurs.
A fact I LOVE. And if you're anything like me and you're using Squarepace (or are considering it), you'll get so much enjoyment out of just watching these videos.
Or maybe I'm just weird like that! #squarespacenerd 🤓
Last year it was John Malkovich (which was hilarous, I might add). This year it’s Keanu!
And those websites actually exist. I checked. And from all the research I did since I saw the ad, Keanu Reeves is an actual Squarespace customer.
How cool is that?
I was even more gobsmacked when Keanu Reeves said the exact same things I keep telling my clients. I literally got goosebumps.
Since starting out with Squarespace a few years ago (after giving WordPress a fair shot, then Weebly, then Wix), I keep telling my people...
If you can click a mouse, you CAN create a website. Even if you're non-techie!

It's true. You really can.
If I, a plain secretary, can do it, than so can you.
"Everyone thinks, making websites is impossible. But they're wrong." - Keanu Reeves, Squarespace customer TWEET THIS >>
After seeing that ad, of course, I had to Google it. To see how that came about. And if there are more where that came from. There are.
Every time I watched another clip, I felt SO on the right track with what I've been telling my clients all along.
I told them things I thought was only my opinion. My feeling about Squarespace. (Because I believe that choosing the right website creation platform has to be a FEELING.) And how Squarepace makes it so darn easy for you, for non-techie website newbies to build a site.
I couldn't help but feel privileged that I help people do just that. Create their OWN websites. With Squarespace.
"We're always trying to find an actual genuine customer story. And if we can actually find that and it happens to be someone of a caliber such as a Keanu Reeves, that's just like a win-win situation.
We stumbled upon his motorcycle company. As soon as we found out that it was actually on Squarespace and he'd been a customer since 2015, it crystallised in our head that this would be a very interesting opportunity for us." - David Lee, CCO Squarespace
"Our reaction to Keanu coming on board was organic, just because we had met him first. And because of our process, we collaborated closely with the celebrity and actually were still changing scripts based on what he liked and what he thought.
He was so humble and so collaborative and very creative as well. And he had some input on the script. So, we were over the moon." - Sandra Nam, Head of Content Studio, Squarespace
"He wouldn't do anything that he didn't believe in. That's ultimately what we all respect about him. And even throughout the process when we had narrowed down on a particular territory and an idea and started to get into scripts, he actually was very involved in making them better.
A lot of the stuff you're seeing, out in the world, has a large part to do with his input. It was a very seamless and organic partnership with him. I asked him, point blank, 'What compelled you to actually make your own motorcycle company? That's notoriously one of the hardest things to do as a small business.'
And he paused and looked at me and said, 'Because we're all gonna die.'" - David Lee, CCO Squarespace
Inspired?
