S/o to the person that says they "have to hop" thus triggering the end of the meeting

[derek walker @dereklwalker]

To some a meeting is working. To a creative it is an interruption of the work - a hard stop.

Schedule accordingly.

If everyone is creative, you know and appreciate the impact a meeting can have on creatives creating.

Why then are there so many meetings?

[R/GA @RGA]

You need to use stock

(uses stock)

Why does this look so bad?

Social media updates you *NEED* to know:

🔗 LinkedIn is making link previews much SMALLER in the feed - unless you pay

🤭 Instagram is testing a CapCut-style feature, allowing users to scroll through trending memes to add to posts

📲 TikTok is launching a management platform for creators which will allow them to “create, edit, upload, manage and analyse” their account and content performance.

🌱 A new report by Sprout Social suggests the best times to post on *social media, and on LinkedIn, company pages can see the “most engagement” on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10am-12pm

👀 Google’s 2,500-page document about how Google Search works has been leaked

🚫 MPs are urging the next government to ban smartphones for under-16s in the UK

👯‍♀️ Elon Musk claims that X, FKA Twitter, has 600M monthly active users

📸 Mark Zuckerberg has been spotted wearing a t-shirt with a quote from The Social Network saying: “Sorry my Prada’s at the cleaners, along with my hoodie and f*ck you flip flops” (this is for the folks who steal my (@anniemaisocial's content) ily

💌 Instagram is working on a feature called Lately, which highlights recent Stories on user profiles

👻 TikTok has added a floating player on desktop, which means users can watch TikTok videos while doing something else on their computer

👾 YouTube is rolling out in-app games to more users in the Australia, Canada, the US and the UK

🤪 AI-generated emojis could be coming in Apple’s iOS 18

*SO important to note here that these “best times to post” are a good STARTING point, but use your own data to get a good idea of when your audience is likely to be most active.

And that's all for now folks! See you next Wednesday for your favourite, and OG, Social Tea 👋🖤

The team needs time and space to work.

A good project manager knows how to clear the way so that this can happen.

They know deadlines are short, and that too many interruptions adversely impact the quality of the work.

A good project manager's presence is barely felt.

[The Bad Pod, An Ad Pod @The_Bad_Pod]

@dereklwalker congrats derek! so happy for you

I can't wait to see what my timesheets look like with these

‼️ this right here ‼️

[derek walker @dereklwalker]

It's a shame how hard advertising professionals "think" we have to work to convince clients we know what we're talking about.

No other service provider I work with expends so much time, energy and effort to prove their value.

Advertising might be broken.

Ryan J Mack does things differently. But it's his ability to follow his gut that has led him to titles such as former President of Virtue Worldwide and current CCO of @MadeInNetwork, where he has helped launch the careers of superstars like Matty Matheson. Ep 67 is live!
