Memories made and kept.

Hello I am the chief marketing officer of Temu. I unfroze an animator from 1993 and asked him to make history’s least memorable commercial for me. And then I spent 21 million dollars running it three times. What does everyone think?

Hoo boy they made us cancel the party for this?

it’s more than just a cup

Not only will AI change how the promo industry communicates and does business… it will also help us conceptualize and invent products that don’t exist yet. 🤯

Amazing keynote from @anatbaron at #PPAIExpo.

I spent some time sorting through the FDA's new cosmetics regulations. These are significant changes. One big development is that this doesn't just affect suppliers anymore. Many promo distributors dealing with cosmetics will have to meet new requirements https://t.co/mccT6YrIyf

The first movie I ever fell asleep in. And the last midnight showing I've ever been to.

The Dark Knight - Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece, released today in 2008

Widely considered the greatest superhero movie of all time, the film raised the bar not only for any superhero film but for filmmaking and storytelling.

Let’s revisit the film. A thread 🧵1/20

A late note into PPAI Media tonight: Supplier Selco will be closed on Monday due to power outages around the city of Tulsa after high winds Sunday morning. They hope to be back to work Tuesday morning.

Selco’s phones and email are functional, but all other systems are down.
