That Hyundai ad has gotten a ton of pregame buzz. Warranted?

Two weeks off and was hoping to say hi to some of you , individually or in a socially distanced small group setting , if anyone is around. Please let me know:)

Calling all ID Associates: Do you expect a cost of living raise from one year to the next? My mid-size ID firm did not give any associate raises for 2021-2022 and a wave of associates quit in response. I’m anxious 2023 will be no different. What’s the expectation?

What’s the hiring market like in Texas for a 4th year investment management associate? I’m interested in Austin but understand there may be more opportunities in Houston or Dallas. Graduated with honors and on law review at a T14, if that helps at all.

What are your expenses/time horror stories? Has anyone gotten fired in relation to expenses? Compensation withheld?

I used to have a fitbit. Really liked a lot of its features. Like the reminder to move and the competition within the app (games and competitionvs friends). However, whenever I was at work I'd find myself taking it off for more comfortable typing and then forgetting it during the day. Now that I'm back at work I'm sitting more and need to move. I was thinking of getting an oura ring. Does anyone have one? Any thoughts as to which is better?

@fcb peeps: Who is the head creative at FCB Global? Is it Fred Levron or Susan Credle? Every piece of work that comes out of the agency, Fred immediately posts everywhere as his. But isn’t Susan Credle the worldwide chief creative officer? Who really runs the show?

Now that we are getting “back to school”, what is one positive detail you have noticed about online/remote learning?

I started investing in Vanguard Mutual Funds and and did some research online today and it seems like we can’t do that and it might not be halal. Does anyone have any insights here?

Chewy TUMS: These look so good but its not clear to me if its halal. How do you determine from these ingredients? Especially when the first ingredient is alcohol ammonium which i know its not alcohol but any clarification on these ingredients would be appreciated!

A game of Among Us, but the imposter is one of your clients.

Anyone From cvent tech team here?

Groundhog Day wins it for me. Perfect cultural reference to fit the message and a lovely execution.

That Woody Allen reboot was pretty funny.

Gary Vee took credit for that baby nut commercial on Twitter. Love me some Gary Vee but not so much Baby Nut.

That was fun by Audi. Love the choice of song.

BEST: Jeep
WORST: Michelob (wtf?)
MISSED OP: Olay

Why do movies run their regular trailers during the SB? Why don’t they create something special? Maybe even conceptual?

The only qualifier to becoming an industry legend should be whether or not you’ve worked with Sam Elliot. Nay, his mustache. Prove me wrong.

Btw Bloomberg is not really running for President. He’s building a political campaign machine that he’s going to unleash against Trump all year. It’s going to be an interesting case study...

Skinny Jason Mamoa 🤣🤣🤣

New York Life. Beautiful.

Eh. I’ve seen that Kia ad many times before. Plus trying to connect it to auto seemed pretty forced 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m beginning to think all the 2020 SB briefs started with... “we need a big personality to represent our brand.” Since when is celebrity a substitute for concept?🤔

Best - Jeep/Rocket Mortgage (Mamoa)
Worst - Olay/ Michelob Missed OP - Coke Energy (really odd)

Avocado Mexico media agency: y u no buy the ad right before the trump one? Would be funny

CELEBRITIES ARE NOT A CONCEPT

Thank you all for the Super Bowl Bowl!

I’m in danger of being drawn in by the actual football game.

Not sure how much Hyundai spent on that Genesis spot, but I know it was far too much to tell the same old “young luxury disrupts the party of old luxury” story.
