Lots of deals “needed” to close last week for Q2. But then counterparties dragged their feet so then they “needed” to be closed before the holiday. Counterparties dragged their feet again so now it “needs” to be done by Monday to preserve the pricing/discount. 🙄

I can't remember the last time things were "slow." Maybe slower in 2018?

It's slow for me. A lot of phone calls are going unanswered, and I’m getting auto-reply email responses. It seems like everyone is on vacation at the same time.

No lol

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.
