What's something that is insanely overpriced, but you'll pay for it anyway? I pay for Apple products because I am fully bought into the ecosystem 😅

And it’s so hard to get out now because everything is tied together! I understand that one completely. A recent one for me is higher-end/designer clothes. Overpriced for what they are, but I’m finding the quality and longevity to be so much better.

Very impressed with how long things are holding up, and seeing how it’s worth it when I can splurge!

Same here with Apple. Once you’re in, you’re locked for life. For me it’s workout classes. I know they’re overpriced, but the accountability keeps me going so I keep swiping my card

You can’t put a price on good health!

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. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. 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?

So- we run Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) for our clients display ads in a feed and corresponding google sheet via Google DoubleClick. My q is- does anyone know what systems out there allow for creating a template that will automatically pull a product image from say Target.com and automatically building the ad & copy without manually making 1000 ads via row for row in the google sheet? I know this is possible but curious if Sizmek or Flashtalking are more common in this type of creative development.

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?
