As content creators, I feel as though we tend to be more sociable and creative opposed to other departments, from my personal experience. I notice a total disconnect between departments, even though we’re just a few cubicles apart. I'm sick of getting coffee at the same time as someone and it being socially awkward. Does anyone have ideas to build better company culture??? Starting small talk is not cutting it anymore.

We used to have social events at work, which can be a mixed bag, but I actually really like them! Free food helped. I am a huge fan of learning about what other people do in the company! Tell me about your day to day in the HR department! Even if cross collaboration isn’t the focus, just being aware goes a long way into not having a siloed company.

That's a great idea, especially when food is involved! I do think I'll start making an effort to take interest in other departments first to see where we could potentially collaborate or have a reason to talk!

I think you just need to make sure you listen to everyone and see what they need and like and try your best to then talk about it, or even suggest doing it together. Also doing something outside of work really bonds people!

Yes, I'd love to do that. Sometimes I don't know where others boundaries with hanging out outside of work are.

Part of my team is remote, so circumstances are different. Twice a week, we all go online and play a game. If you are not in the office, you log on together in a conference room. Cameras on, You don’t talk about the work. We play the game and focus on other things. It doesn’t feel forced. You don’t feel guilty because the bosses are playing too.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

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.
