Anyone on the IndieList. How are you finding it?

Have not used it. Close to 300 people on the list apparently. More than likely won’t use it as we have a list of freelancers who we call on when required. Engagement fee + 10% commission will eat into already tight margins. From conversations with freelancers over the last few weeks (we’ve been using some from our pool) it’s quiet out there.

Boys and girls and tbwa are pretty bad. Not a diss on good people in both but agency pr is always a little cringe. Tone down the saving lives spiel and call yourselves an ad agency. That goes for the whole industry.

When did Boys and Girls do that? The island thing?

Had meant in a broader sense! I think it’s branding work under a moral imperative...it’s a fun job but we’re paid to do it, acting so worthy about it or the work is painful. Ads aren’t going to save the world. Had read the line ‘might help save a life’ in an article the other week - shudders!

Hi All,

In the offer letter it was written that I am prohibited to join competitor company after resigning but I got to know from sources that such contracts don't hold any relevance. I am waiting for 10 more days as HR told me it is in process and then planning to file complaint in labour court. Suggestions please?

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

Anyone have experience or example of brands who have in housed media buying in Ireland? Looking at 2021 budgets and can’t help but think the media agency value add is quite limited (considering fees and rebates etc) when compared to one or two junior hires well managed who would be always on the account... am I crazy?
