The reason why we may be worried that robots will take our jobs is because we’ve made our jobs more robotic Our jobs have become about dashboard. About optimization. About logic. About repetitiveness. About rational predictable improvements. These are by far and away tasks that are better accomplish accomplished by a robot It’s not that we should be more human to safeguard our jobs, it’s that we should be more human because it’s the best way to better marketing. We have to double down on what makes us special. It’s about judgment. It’s about empathy. It’s about instinct. it’s about magic , it’s about what’s irrational it’s about what’s unexpected. It’s about being different. There is absolutely nothing in life that matters that can have a ROI attached, everything that we value has soul, so the future of marketing, and people in it, it’s not to ignore the maths, it’s not to ignore the data, but it’s to love the maths, and the data are enough to know when it doesn’t matter, and then win fights based on being able to persuade us to do the stuff that transcends everyday, predictable , tried and tested. If I see one more person talking about Marketing being 1000 AB test, I’m going to scream . Marketing is about knowing the best thing to do first time

It only took 14 years… but it’s finally here 😊 Meet NexPhone — a smartphone built to run Android, launch Linux (Debian) on demand, and dual-boot Windows 11. My 14-year founder story: nexphone.com/blog/the-tale-o… If you want to support what we’re building, a repost helps a lot.

As a neuroscientist, here are 7 ways to trick your brain into doing difficult things: 1. Shrink the task to just two minutes. Your brain resists big commitments. So don't make one. - "Work out" → do one exercise. - "Clean the house" → pick up three items.

Stopped for a curfew violation, shot by police: When nonviolent stops spiral in Detroit. @violetikon found at least 20% of Detroit police shootings in the past decade started with stops for nonviolent offenses and escalated with foot chases. freep.com/story/news/investi… via @freep

My latest project, *now out from behind paywall,* finds 1/3 ppl shot and wounded by Detroit cops were either not charged or convicted of conduct for which they were shot. Most were unarmed or shot in back while fleeing. Key police vid missing 1/2 the time freep.com/story/news/investi…

I’m convinced some of the brightest minds will never unlock their full potential for a simple reason: They’re afraid to promote their work.

I want you all to see this simple graph below: This is a case study where I delivered exceptional results for a client. Notice the impression share compared to the trackable conversion rate for iOS versus non-iOS. Most in the industry would dismiss this approach and claim we’re misguided for allocating most impressions to iOS when the non-iOS bucket shows a 6x higher conversion rate. They’d likely cap us as ineffective or “vaporware.” This is where traditional attribution tracking fails. It doesn’t fully grasp how attribution works or how to optimize an entire budget effectively. Using a predictive MMM analysis against real client business goals, we identified which channels/tactics drove the highest impact on the client’s business KPIs. We then forecasted budget allocations to achieve client goals over time. This optimal budget allocation defies conventional buy-side optimization thinking.

TradeDesk has been releasing cool tool after cool tool lately. A lot of their tools being released make it so the average buyer can easily point their buys in the correct direction. There are very many ways a buyer can mess things up, simple buttons to fix this is a very good thing. Platform costs are totally worth it if your buy reaches humans.

So. When going into a hall of fame, your name has to be voted in. If BR had one, the first time my name becomes eligible, I believe I’d be a shoe in. My name may not be in the first batch of names, BUT when it comes up…I’d be a no brainer. Hence, First Ballot.
Replying to @marvwon
Can you break down what “first ballot means” in the context you use it for those that don’t know, “those” being me

People who haven’t lived in cold climates will never truly understand how good 35° feels after two weeks in single digit temperatures.

You can't directly control federal or state politics. You may affect local politics by volunteering and donating. But your biggest impact is in your immediate community. To make a better present and inspire a better future, start with what's in front of you and lay a foundation.
