You’re an adult. The only person responsible for educating you is you.

Some forms of direct action:

-Marches
-Sit-ins
-Boycotts (economic withdrawal)
-Advocacy (letter writing, calls)
-Etc

You have a role. It may not be what those around you are doing. Get involved. Let’s organize our strength into compelling power.

Sharing a way tomorrow.

I used to think...

Facebook was built by geniuses with supercomputers.

My favorite writers knew every word in the dictionary.

The best artists could draw everything out of their head.

Now I realize they’re all just people who work hard, edit excessively, and copy constantly.

A good way to be unsure about something is to ask for one more opinion. More opinions often lead to indecision, not clarity. If necessary, ask for a few, add your own, make a call, and move on. Nearly all decisions are temporary, but stalling is permanent time lost.

Vice and Refinery29 merger is a clear signal of just how hard it is for digital media companies to
1) survive, let alone flourish on ad revenues
2) build on third-party platforms vs. owned and operated websites and apps
3) create and sustain passion brands with youth culture

Clever social media:

@Disney got all their @disneyplus properties to reply on the same thread to announce the launch of the Disney+ Twitter handle. All one long convo, each handle on brand.

These children will go to sleep tonight with no idea when, or if, they’ll see their parents again. This is being done in our name—and it’s on all of us to end it.

Half of Instagram's billion+ users visit Explore each month, so it's injecting ads as Facebook leans more heavily on Insta for revenue https://t.co/6ulsQ2FOHB

[Zack Kanter @zackkanter]

Wow. This has been the obvious move for a long time, but the technical and logistical challenges of executing this at scale are enormous. An absolute game-changer. Easily the biggest non-Amazon physical product-related announcement in the past 5 years.

[Jack Appleby @jappleby]

An absolutely incredible case study for an absolutely incredible campaign, written by a major brand's CMO.

Thank you for sharing, @fer_machado123 & @Adweek.

[ADWEEK @Adweek]

One of the senses marketers don't lean into is touch, says @WeAreJL creative directors. To put it into perspective, we remember:
- 10% of what we read
- 20% of what we hear
- 30% of what we see
- 50% of what we see and hear
- 80% of what we personally experience
