Has anyone here tested buying TikTok? It’s ad platform is obviously in its early stages, but I’m wondering what the experience has been for those who have tried it.

Is it a nice idea to be close to your employees?

Hey everyone, would 12/23 afternoon not a bad time for holiday travels? Booking for a flight for my parents from overseas to LAX ,trying to avoid crazy busy afternoon.

Here’s a question for the recruiters out there: do you want to see my portfolio?
I just started freelancing after having been FT for a long time. Top agency experience, Cannes Lions, NYC-based, DM me!

For FAR, what do most people think is a realistic number of modules to get through per day/week while working full time. For me, the hour lectures generally take up to 2-3 weekdays to get through lecture, MCQ, Skills, and Sims. By the time the weekend comes, I’m exhausted and need a break, but this seems too slow.

Anyone here downshift in life post service?

Feel like I've been going full bore for the past decade and literally have no problem continuing the trend. Like I could just keep marking milestones and grinding or whatever until I die.

Wondering when if anyone else felt similar and decided to pull back and do something more relaxing. What was the catalyst, what are you doing, and are you enjoying it?

I'd considered taking up a 9-5 somewhere but not sure if thatd wear off fast.

Does anyone have tips/methods for staying on top of all the little things? I’m in litigation and it’s a constant struggle to make sure I have accurate and up to date ‘bring ups’ and that I float anf rename all my emails and get all my time in and update my partner etc. like I can maybe get 1 or 2 but I’m never on top of everything and it’s so hard!

My partner now accepts and understands I am just going to have some organised chaos but also I want to make this little shit work for me!

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽

Hello
in my offer I can see one of the component as flexible allowances. Do we get everything in that or do we have deductions.


Thanks

I cleared tech and delivery mgr rounds.
I had a hr round and her budget is 11 lpa.
I told her have 13 lpa pipeline already and wish 14 lpa.
She said "I have not seen the world. Only 20 percent ppl go beyond money, rest look for WLB, job security, learning."
Okay, so my thoughts are from where she got that stats - 20 percent really ?
I beleive HRs are also subset of that 20 percent, bdw I don't mind saying am a elite subset of the 20 percent looking for better salaries. What's wrong in asking ?

Negotiating with Accenture for a Sr. Mgr role with CFO and EV team. Trying to jump off from big 4. What's the right expectation for salary??

Friend lives in Moscow, Russia and friends with a Sr manager of multiple rolex ADs in the city. Apart from the usual DJs, literally the only thing they apparently have in the entire city is a single Submariner gold TT. Crazy. And here I was thinking that I can outfox the waitlists

Anyone working at Alvarez & Marshall? Any insights on how the interview process goes?

Please remember, when you’re asking for salary information, it’s important to mention where you are located. For example, $100,000 is going to be a lot more in Mississippi than in San Francisco. Thanks guys.

Does anyone have a POC at TikTok regarding gaining access to their self-serve paid Ads platform? Anyone having trouble gaining access to it?

Looking for paid social freelancers if anyone out there is looking!

Does anyone use Universal Local Campaigns? A client wants supplemental support for specific locations. I’ve never run a ULC campaign targeting a single location - any idea if this would compete with our existing campaigns targeting the same locations (we run campaigns targeting location groups by region)? Can a ULC targeting a single location see scale without sacrificing too much cost/store visit efficiency? Google Help articles are, unsurprisingly, no help.

Do you have any resources you recommend to learn more about paid media in general?

Has anyone gone from an agency to an in-house Programmatic team? If so what has your experience been?

Anyone with digital media & measurement experience looking for an Associate Director job?

In what scenarios do you see it helping the bottom line vs not? Is. Competition, etc.

Started a new job in December and a recruiter from another agency just reach out. Want to keep channels open for the future but think it would look bad to move jobs such a short time. Should I take the call or just tell them to reach out later?

How do you send clients POPs of their ads on top sites that they show up on? Is there a better way of doing this than doing 10 mins of refreshing until you see the ads pop up and take a screenshot?

If you’re tired of the stress of the agency world what’s a good next step career wise? Working in programmatic display currently and sick of the never ending workload.

Any tips for digital marketers going from an agency role to in-house?

Has anyone moved careers from working strictly in Media buying at an agency & having most of your experience in that field, to something more in house marketing related? Curious if there’s something else out there where my experience would qualify in a marketing role as I’m currently moving up at my company, but not that interested in working in media buying forever.
