So- we run Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) for our clients display ads in a feed and corresponding google sheet via Google DoubleClick. My q is- does anyone know what systems out there allow for creating a template that will automatically pull a product image from say Target.com and automatically building the ad & copy without manually making 1000 ads via row for row in the google sheet? I know this is possible but curious if Sizmek or Flashtalking are more common in this type of creative development.

If you’re chasing open jobs on LI, unfortunately you’re already behind the ball. It’s much better to use it to find people at companies you need a connection to a hiring manager at. It’s still very good at maintaining your professional network.
Use it for people first, not jobs. The jobs will come from the people.
I’d spend a few days only studying & refining your linked in - not looking for work yet. By that I mean unfollow anyone who may be cluttering your feed, research and follow the companies you like, trades, industry associations, award shows or anything salient like that. Follow department heads and anyone within the department that interests you that might have their ear. Follow recruiters but also resource managers. Not the same thing but when scopes change & hiring is needed, resource managers tend to be made aware. Same with Operations leads, (director, senior manager, associate director). In my personal experience, having been doing this a good while, this “studying”/culling phase easily takes 1 week. After this, my feed usually changes dramatically, (for the better).
Wait… can recruiters see everything in my documents section?

I would avoid think pieces and slop leadership altogether. Senior leadership opinion might be different at agencies, but in-house it’s really gotten a bad reputation over the last 6-12 months.
You’re probably more experienced with job search than me. I’m assuming you’ve been in the industry longer than me. But I’m going to share what I usually do. Please ignore this if it’s stuff you already know.
1) don’t apply to jobs on LI. No one looks at it. Don’t be deterred by the number of applicants either. Most people shoot their shoot regardless of their experience and you should too. Don’t DM people on linked in. Instead, look for the recruiter at the company, look up their email on Apollo.io, and send them a short email with your website and resume.
2) look up #gigalert on LI. A lot of people post openings or reshare job listings. Sometimes they even say things like “DM/email me if you’re interested”. I’ve got a higher rate of responses when I’ve reached out to people through this search.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
