Can we talk about how much of a MENACE Marc Benioff is for executing the most diabolical marketing campaign of all time? This man has pulled so many next level marketing. My favorite 1 was when he bought out all these taxi’s in Cannes, France where most potential customers were attending; would fly into Nice & ask for a taxi which is 45 min of a trip. Marc rented out ALL of the airport taxis, but instead of making them unavailable the customers got a FREE taxi where a rep pitched them in the car

In a low level marketing position that I learned on the job. I'd like to make this career but don't know where to start with regard to course/education. I took a Foundations in SM Marketing Certificate but that's it. Thinking google ads/seo? Not even sure what direction is feasible/lucrative/growing. I'm a 45yo mom working from home w only an outdated associates in my pocket so the long college thing isn't an option. I need to be making a living wage while I learn.

Does anyone else feel like they are just falling behind with the price increases for our big ticket items such as cars and homes? Like I started working in 2017 and I realized I couldn’t make it the way I wanted on $105k so now I’m at around $250k and I got some rentals but all of the homes in my area have doubled in price since 2020 so from $500k to $1m or above so I feel like I’m still just as financially tight now and cars seem just as unobtainable as when I first started.
