Creating something is a very lonely process. But it's worth it every second.

Hi folks recently both Meta ads manager and IG are having new features tested. This may be partially the cause of very bad delivery. I just noticed this shop icon. I think it’s a rollout test since the video is not selling nothing and once you press the icon, nothing appears.

Eleven v4 is INSANE! 🤯 Here's my 44-sec spec ad for it. I wrote a script of everything an AI voice "can't do." Then made Eleven v4 read it out loud. Sound on 🔊

$200/month used to sound crazy for a subscription. Now it sounds cheap when you put it to work. Value moves fast, pricing perception moves faster.

We’re experimenting with cinematic styles and mixed approaches to create visuals that feel both realistic and unexpected. Exploring the small details that make a scene feel real; crumbs, textures, imperfections, and all those subtle moments that bring an image to life.

The role of real UX and UI experts in these years will be more and more valuable.

We are producing high quality ai scenes and avatars these days. This is a truly next level generation. Both video and audio feels real.

Most of the media buyers are just frauds. You follow them because they claim spending millions but if you ask them to get results with 50$ a day they won’t get any result.

I paid for several consulting with few of these “gurus” and literally none gave me a viable and actionable solution to my questions. None!

I made this version of Donkey Kong with ChatGPT 5.5 in under 5 minutes. It’s wild how quickly you can turn an idea into a working prototype now. This is only a rough first pass, but it gives a real sense of what’s possible with the right mindset and effort.

Most of the Media buyers out there are just nonsense! My opinion: they claim to spend <1k a day while they are not. They would not even be able to run successfully a 20$/day budget and make profit.

I'm teaching a Meta ads course with @foundr alongside @iamshackelford , @_phoenixha , @johnjhcoyle and Nathan Chan. We're kicking it off with a free 2 hour workshop on March 14-15 where I'll be breaking down the exact strategies I've used to help brands scale their Meta ad accounts. The same stuff I post about here - campaign structures, testing frameworks, scaling plays - but way more in depth. If you've been following my tweets and want to go deeper, this is it.

Meta is messing up badly these days.

This time I used Blender and a simple 3D model of an Audi RS6, without even rendering it, just to lock in the right pose. The limitations we had in AI video generation just a few months ago are completely gone. It’s unbelievable how far it has come. #advertising #ai #Veo3

Today Meta ads Manager is not reporting any conversion on my side but the Event Manager is. Another @meta bug? @rokhladnik

Adobe went full “Make my icon bigger.” It’s giving the iPhone Pro ugly text vibes. Look at how the new “PS” icon is bold and bulky, while the previous “AI” one was so much more elegant. Why? Adobe, Why? #adobe #makemylogobigger
