Why Cinema Ads May Be In Your Next Media Spend
The places you’re buying ads are NOT the places where consumers want you to be... Google confirms that reviews mean everything to local SEO… Amazon puts another restriction on advertising on its platform — and this one might get them into trouble with the regulators… and the single tweet that might become known as the cheapest, simplest, and most effective political ad in the history of the world.

🎵 Do You Remember... How the Stars Stole the Night Away?
Does hosting your brand’s web site on a shared server negatively affect your Google position? Facebook adds new intellectual property protection for brands…. Amazon adds a whole new placement — and it’s a big one… And you blew it. Your brand could have owned today — every year, you could have owned this day. But you don’t. Because you blew it.

🎂 = 1

The Greatest Bait-and-Switch in Business History?
Did TikTok just pull the greatest bait and switch in business history? YouTube has an exciting new metric (god, what has my life become). And Facebook’s auto-bans are becoming so frequent that hackers are now copying them.

🎵 The Whole World’s a Blur When You Waste Time With Me
And you thought the GDPR was bad. Wait until you hear what Europe just told Facebook to do. The most downloaded social media app last month was the most beleaguered. Adding the latest label to your brand’s Google listing may be more about politics than promotion. And the data’s in — if you want your Brand Awareness campaign to work, show your ads to more young people.

Google hates you and to prove it, they’ve taken away one of the single most helpful parts of their ads dashboard…. Meanwhile, LinkedIn adds some nice new features for people who administer their company’s page… and I swear I’m going to make this a daily feature — it’s the Facebook Ad Platform Bug of the Day! Hold onto your hats, friends. This one’s a doozy.
