5 Reasons Why YouTube Ads Are The New Facebook Ads

It’s no secret that the release of iOS 14.5 and its dedication to user privacy — specifically, its AppTracking Transparency Framework — shook the foundation of Facebook ads , which have long depended on intense data tracking in order to deliver the right ads to the right audience. This change meant that Facebook could no longer track users across apps and websites for the purposes of ad targeting, and as a result, many advertisers saw their campaigns lose effectiveness overnight. Facebook ads are no longer the powerhouse they once were — but that doesn’t mean there’s no hope for digital advertisers. In fact, there’s one platform that is now poised to take over as the go-to place for digital advertising: YouTube. Here are five reasons why YouTube ads are the new Facebook ads. 1. Hyper-Relevant Targeting One of the things that made Facebook ads so powerful was their ability to target users very specifically. Advertisers could target people based on interests, demog...

Twitter Called Elon Musk’s Bluff About Bots. It Could Backfire.

Stephanie Jones W One good turn in the theatre deserves another. This is exactly what Elon Musk has done. The world’s richest person has spent the past several weeks complaining that Twitter is undercounting the amount of automated spam bots on its site and that it won’t give him access to the data he needs to make an independent assessment, which he needs before he’ll finish closing on his acquisition of the company. According to Twitter, bots account for less than 5%. This number is consistent with many years worth of SEC filings. Musk was able to access this figure right from the beginning. His sudden obsession with it seems like an act. It is a way for him to create a pretext to renegotiate his $44billion offer for Twitter in the midst of a large drop in stock market prices. On Monday, Musk’s lawyer sent Twitter a tersely worded letter saying it had better turn over the data. Or else. Or else? Or else Musk and his attorneys will consider their refusal a breach of the merger...

Three Differences Between Managers and Leaders

Three Differences Between Managers and Leaders When people think of managers and leaders, they usually conjure up images of autocratic, rigid figures with little in common with the team-oriented and flexible personalities that make up the bulk of management. This might be because many people have never really had a chance to learn about managers or leaders—many don’t know precisely what they are. Or it could be because much of what we know about them comes from movies and television shows where characters are portrayed as stern, authoritative figures with authoritative voices—often booming ones. The reality is that there are several key differences between a manager and a leader. Understanding these differences can help you see whether you qualify as one or the other. After all, being both doesn’t just make you less productive—it can also limit your career opportunities.
