May the 4th be with you! Working remotely, my meeting backdrops reflect the occasion and my mood. I will have something for Cinco De Mayo. Then I bring this one back Tuesday May the Sith 😉. Does your company allow a little levity in your meetings?

That is so much fun, I love that background! My office definitely is not a big fan of fun backdrops. I've never actually tried putting one up, but I have a feeling it wouldn't go over too well.

You have my sympathies. We also start morning meetings with a dad joke.

When we were having meetings on Zoom and were working from home I can remember some fun backgrounds. One woman had the backdrop of the Long Room from the Trinity College Library and one guy looked like he was working from the outfield of Fenway Park. I just usually went with my boring bookshelf behind me.

Happy Star Wars Day to you! That’s a super fun background but a bummer that you had meetings on a Sunday that you needed a background for. But at least you didn’t let it damper your spirits and it looks like you have a fun thing Monday ahead to.

Love this!

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand.

Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?
