Has anyone else been thinking about Netflix's "The Social Dilemma" and how that relates to the inserrection that we witnessed last week? I'm wondering if anyone has ideas on how we can use our position in the advertising industry to help push for change in the platforms and start healing the division in our country.

Bring back Planning in force. The industry as a whole lost its independent advocate, representing myriad perspectives that not only informed the work but also restrained bias by enlarging a clients’, agency’s, and creative teams’ frame of reference beyond their own. When Planning is done well, just like Creative and Media, it is astonishing how it can bring people together through advertising ideas and marketing imagination.

By providing the primary economic engine for the social media cult factories, advertising is complicit.

But we don’t have a king of advertising. Reform has to start from below. Start by raising the issue internally. We know that at scale, we can shift attitudes—the needle is moving on D&I, slowly but surely. Tech will start reforming far faster if they have pressure from advertisers.

It's a larger task than just a few people. This is the sort of thing governments are actually meant to handle, instead of whatever the fuck they do these days.

Some sort of regulation I would think.

I don’t believe there’s any solution that you can opt for within the system... the answer probably lies in reforming the system itself.

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
