Tony Cortizas shared thisCommunity is not something you create. It is a byproduct of the relationships, behaviours, and set of actions that bring it together. It's how people connect with each other when nobody else is watching. At Sandals and Beaches Resorts, there's a community of rockstar guests who not only love the resorts and islands, but share the love with their friends and family. Last week, we treated this community to a special weekend at Jazz Fest in New Orleans. The welcome party celebrated Jamaican culture, shared stories, and reminded guests that they matter. We want guests to enjoy a really unique experience, not only at resorts, but also in their home turf. We call these "surprise and delight" moments, and it's a big part of the Sandals family culture.

Tony Cortizas shared thisOnly super brands have the ability to transcend above basic value proposition into cultural relevance. This week the NOLA Jazzfest is our unexpected stage as champions of the Caribbean and the impact is a one of a kind moment for Sandals and Jamaica! 🇯🇲🔥Tony Cortizas shared thisProud to see Jamaican culture represented all the way at Jazz Fest in New Orleans 🇯🇲 Music is one of the strongest forms of influence a country can have. When we share our culture, it's a way of welcoming people, creating connection that reaches far beyond our shores. Jamaica may be small, but when it comes to culture we play big. Thank you to our partners at Visit Jamaica, Appleton Estate, and the Sandals Foundation for helping make it all happen. Let’s keep it going for Weekend 2!

Tony Cortizas shared thisStorytelling has been a fundamental way for humans to connect for centuries. Long before the advent of algorithms and digital platforms, stories helped us make sense of the world, build trust, and share enduring ideas. In an era of overwhelming content and diminishing attention spans, it's not the loudest message that resonates, but the one that people can relate to. The brands that stand out today recognize this truth. They focus on telling stories that mirror real experiences, values, and perspectives rather than merely pushing messages. Join us at The Female Quotient Lounge at POSSIBLE 2026 to explore how leaders are harnessing the power of storytelling to foster genuine connections and drive growth.

Tony Cortizas shared thisMusic discovery has always been at the heart of TikTok and they just did something brilliant. For years, the music discovery journey was flawed. You’d hear a snippet of a song on social, love it, then you’d have to leave, open another app, search for it, and hope you didn't lose the vibe along the way. That friction is the enemy of growth. By partnering with Apple Music, they streamlined the user's journey and can now play full songs without ever leaving the app. By reducing friction between short-form discovery and full-track streaming, TikTok is positioning itself as a measurable driver of subscription-based consumption. It sounds simple. But simple is hard. It’s "Think Different" in action. Check it out: https://ow.ly/xEhP30sULXB

Tony Cortizas shared thisPicture this... you are waiting on a bus stop in the dead of winter, with a cold gust of air chilling your face. As you feel the warmth of single ray of sunshine that seems to slip away after a moment, you think to yourself, "I need to get out of here." Those winter blues are a feeling many northerners know too well, so we set out to bring island blues to the streets of New York and Chicago. The latest Made of Caribbean creative brought vibrancy, color, and soul. Shot in the Eastern Caribbean across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and St. Lucia, this new collection moves beyond postcard views and into the textures, flavors, and warm moments that define life on the islands. If you survived Winter 2026, treat yourself to an island escape this summer. #SandalsResorts #BeachesResorts

Tony Cortizas reacted on thisTony Cortizas reacted on thisTo be featured in a mainstream wedding magazine, page by page alongside every other love story, inspiration piece, and destination feature, feels more meaningful than I can fully explain. It means being seen without being separated. Not in a special accessibility issue. Not as a side note. Not in a separate category. Just included. That kind of inclusion matters. It signals progress. It says accessibility belongs in the main conversation, not on the margins. This does not diminish the incredible work being done by destinations, brands, advocates, or accessibility-focused publications that have carried this message for years. Those spaces are vital. They create education, momentum, and change. But there is something powerful about seeing accessibility presented as normal, relevant, and naturally woven into mainstream media. When mainstream publications normalize accessibility, businesses notice. Marketing teams notice. Wedding planners notice. Resorts notice. Consumers begin expecting inclusion instead of applauding it as rare. That is how accessibility stops being the exception and starts becoming the standard. Grateful to be included in Aisle to Isle Wedding Magazine Vol. 4 and grateful to witness progress that looks a little more like belonging. Debbie-Ann White and Susan Mangan, your support, encouragement and love through the process Link to magazine in comments.

Tony Cortizas liked thisTony Cortizas liked thisThe new Aeris Collection for CITCO Presented at #SalonedelMobile in Milan until 26 April 2026, the Aeris Collection by #ZahaHadidArchitects for Citco Srl is an engineered dialogue between design and structure—a convergence of intuition and calculation that challenges preconceptions of static, heavy materials; transforming them into something fluid and light with a design language that is not ornamental, but structural. Engineered by Richter, the structure of the collection’s Arcus Table operates like those in bridge systems, conceived through principles of load distribution, balance and tension. The table’s underside is hollowed into latticed geometries with edges that taper into improbable thinness. Not objects in the conventional sense, the collection lies between architecture and product design—fragments of a larger idea in which the spaces we inhabit, and the furniture we use, can embody the same ambition as bridges, towers and cities. Inviting us to imagine what lies beyond gravity and permanence—designs that whisper of weightlessness, even as they are born from stone, metal and glass. The Aeris collection is an ode to transformation: of matter, of perception, and of possibility itself.
