My apt complex has a locker system ($40) for packages and half of the time, the couriers dont place the packages in the lockers or in the oversized room. They leave them anywhere. There’s multiple reasons most likely - apt complex is like fort knox, lockers may be hard to find, package room moved recently, lockers were implemented a couple months ago, not enough signage, poor coordination between my complex and couriers. Anyways after literally having 8 packages go missing in 2 weeks, i

Hi 🐠- question for you guys. My cousin is an alcoholic and has struggled to remain sober over the past few months. He and his wife purchased a breathalyzer about a year ago, and my cousin is now suggesting that he send his family members (wife, siblings, parents) regular screenshots of his breathalyzer results as a means to hold him accountable. As someone that grew up around addiction, this sounds like a recipe for strained relationships and animosity, but what are your guys thoughts?

Hey everyone!
I'd love to get your feedback on our subscription marketing service.

My partner and I created a cost-effective subscription so small / medium-sized businesses could focus more running their business and strategies without the need to hire in-house, manage multiple freelancers, or fight with agencies.

We do this with a proprietary Workspace so marketing managers can delegate projects, connect with our team, and download completed work / files.

What are your initial thoughts?

Do you feel, as members of our community in advertising (a privilege we share in having a voice in media but also cultural persuasion) that you should lean into brands taking advantage of the opportunity to capitalize on our community or steer them away from that but also refocus their minds to a more long term diverse creative solution?
