Lest you think TikTok is purely a "build a great product and you don't need to market it" viral sensation, they reportedly spent $1B in 2018 and $3M/day in 2019 on advertising. Don't get me wrong, the app definitely has virality to it but that is some serious ad spend to build out their base. #marketing #advertising #tiktok #socialmedia #facebook #instagram #adspend …see more

I'm still feeling an incredible rush of energy and enthusiasm following this morning's #WomenWhoLead event, sponsored by Women Deliver , @ Procter & Gamble , the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the Government of #France . 🇫🇷. In fact, one of the keynote speakers was Marlène Schiappa Bruguière French Minister in Charge of Equality between Women and Men, whose impassioned remarks were highlighted by a call for women to have leadership over their own bodies. Their power expands exponentially after that’s achieved. #womensempowerment #womenleaders #genderequality …see more

Businesses are in an endless loop: "San Francisco restaurant owner Pim Techamuanvivit articulated the bind she currently finds herself in: The pandemic has cratered her business at the same time that it’s made her staff’s continued employment—their salaries, their health insurance—that much more urgent. It’s an impossible situation. 'I don’t understand why it’s up to me as a small-business owner to search my conscience every month to decide whether or not to support my employees,' she said. 'Where is the conscience of this government, of this social system to support people? Where is the conscience of the country?' There is no doubt about what’s needed to contain the damage: masks, social distance, and federal funds to help people—workers and business owners alike." From TNR: https://lnkd.in/dTiFVF3 …see more
