@ericbahn Nope, have a rotation of 3 amazing sitters and factor in the cost when trip budgeting. It's always sad leaving my bud, but he loves his time with his buddies.

@economicsmemes @DKThomp Aside from a few specific verticals it is a terrible ad platform with or without Elon.

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@aliwolfbanner @scottmelker Core still a bit high

[Helen Guo @HelenGuo_]

The people have SPOKEN...

They want to invest in cash-flowing businesses!

@ItsEasypop @MKBHD You haven’t even tried it. How do you know?

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@KipChes @MKBHD I doubt they have the internal resources to challenge WhatsApp

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@SievaKozinsky @gregisenberg When they absolutely need them to work (Stories, Reels) they work.

@realEstateTrent Wayyy too many stray from their area of expertise and then look ridiculous… including in their political discourse.

@helloitsolly Something like…

Collect more testimonials, impress more customers, drive more revenue.

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@helloitsolly One speaks to the pain of the difficultly of driving testimonials, the other speaks to the pain of not getting enough testimonials.

Which one is your audience feeling more?

I’d also be curious what it looks like to tie driving testimonials to leads or revenue…

Unreal to see my name in @Forbes!!!

@alexis__stovall This is the content that I followed you for 🤌🏾

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@gdunning9 @RestInPepez @NicholasPas5 Could be. I think it was mostly Zendaya, Timothy C, and a better marketing.

@jappleby @Airbnb If they had done this for the average airbnb user, drove ugc content, and created a true viral moment they could have educated consumers on how much Airbnb has there back in these situations.

Instead they threw money at a influencer and drove relatively cheap impressions.

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@jappleby @Airbnb I think your take is basic.

Just getting eyeballs does nothing. 0 of the people that viewed that video just discovered Airbnb or learned anything new. Cool, they drove impressions. But calling it wildly successful because of a views and not because of real metrics is silly.

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@jappleby @Airbnb Which is why them simply driving more traffic with this campaign isn’t interesting. They can already get traffic…

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@jappleby @Airbnb Use some of the millions in ad spend, use their social reach, have that tie into a broader influencer campaign, PR, tons of ways for a creative marketing team to drive eyeballs.

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@helloitsolly Yep, and it's very hard to replicate this. Especially if you are doing a service that isn't design.

[Brandon Sellers @GetBrandFlakes]

@helloitsolly To be fair I think he does make a ton of money, I think he was working insane hours early in tho.

I think the bigger issue is that the market for this type of service is extremely saturated and difficult to actually execute on.
