scaling creative with AI is a great idea, but then you think about the 2010 & 2014 world cup ads and figure they are actually way more memorable than the 2022 & 2026 ones

had a poor inbox provider + shared infra too
could get an agency but if you already know how to run it you might as well DIY
hire a VA + get emailbison + work with one of their inbox providers
(inboxedup is great - you just buy domains through CF & give them API access for setup, great slack support)
you'll be spending like ~$2-3K monthly total with no headache and can send 500K
Equal work deserves equal pay.
Three years ago, the EU adopted the Pay Transparency Directive.
Now, EU countries are bringing these new rules into national law:
✔️ Pay transparency for jobseekers
✔️ Right to information for employees
✔️ Gender pay gap reporting
✔️ Joint pay assessments
Because equal pay starts with pay transparency.
The battle of narratives is going strong.
Our countries are a recurring target.
It is time to act to tell the stories that make us strong. Let’s live our own story!
Protect what matters - our democracy.
Bizar. Er is geen enkel debat over gevoerd en nu krijgen 1,5 miljard Indiërs makkelijker toegang tot de Nederlandse arbeidsmarkt, huizenmarkt en universiteiten. Waar zijn jullie mee bezig? @MinPres

alright bud
As Europe is slowly warming up again it’s time for my annual reminder that adding shade to the urban environment helps to reduce the urban heat island effect massively. It's a super important tool to keep cities cool during the summer.
There are 2 types of companies selling into enterprise / government markets.
1/ Companies that wait until a tender is public.
By then, they’re competing against 7 vendors with:
- no prior relationship
- no internal champion
- no context around the initiative
2/ Companies that monitor buying signals months earlier.
They build relationships in the account before procurement formally starts:
budget approvals, transformation initiatives, expiring vendor contracts, RFI activity, procurement documents,
strategic hiring, public planning notes, stakeholder movement
We found those types of deals are made long before procurement, as our team has helped our clients:
- 15+ government clients via RFPs in <2 years
- 100+ qualified B2G leads from a single webinar campaign
- book calls with Amazon, UNESCO, TomTom, McKinsey & Company, Geotab, Lloyd’s, local governments, P&C insurers, OEMs, CPOs, museums & most big players in earth observation
