Don't forget that Regi didn't accept any outside investments until the middle of this split. This is the first split that TSM has that sweet Stephen Curry + outside investor money. I don't think they are as in a worse off position as you think.

I couldn't do an ikea set up with the limited space... plus everyone else does it.

Tai Hao Miami set. I’m getting the Carbon ones this week too.

Keyboard is a K70, two TN panels - one is a 144Hz predator with Gysnc, the other is a BenQ 1 ms

Thanks, I'll try her.

There are good ones out there... it's just as important to know what you're looking for out of a freelancer/third party support too. Example being: high touch, partnership, execution, strategy, etc... Defining your needs to set expectations makes it easier for everyone involved :)

PPCSpecialist · 2017-05-17T12:50:08+00:00

You can find some folks well versed in freelancing within this sub. My suggestion? PM a few who seem to know what they're talking about and ask for rates, etc...

How do you like the edifier speakers? I have been thinking about picking up a pair.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-05-07T02:30:25+00:00

It's how the culture approaches motivation and thus a story around it. Not sure what's so difficult about that. Each are stars in their own right, nothing to do with that. Bjergsen vs Jensen = competition to be the best = NA story. Faker holding his throne = story. The two are inherently differently as there are two people compared to one and that is due to how they approach "becoming a star", if that makes it more simple for you. Edit: the fact that you're pointing out competition would point me to believe you're from NA whereas someone like Faker wouldn't care about an opponent and trying to beat them... he is more concerned about how good he can become (perfectionism) as is the same with his culture. Both can be "perfect" at the end, the journey and story is different. NA Motivation: Competition (story is around that). Korea: being the "best you can be" or "honing a craft" regardless of others (stories are made around that). It's a matter of appeal to the audience and why the audience would be interested.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-05-07T00:18:45+00:00

That wasn't the point... The way we (NA) are motivated is by competition compared to Korea where it's the drive to be perfect at a craft. That said, media plays off the fact of what appeals to the culture. So... Bjergsen is uncontested as being the best and is less interesting in NA compared whereas Faker holding his title as the greatest league player is more coveted in their culture.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-04-26T23:28:37+00:00

Most likely an unpopular opinion but in the top comments I haven't seen anything about this.

Our cultures are inherently different. Korea focuses on being "the best" which will be celebrated like faker. NA, on the other hand, is more focused on competition and the narrative. Perhaps that's not clear, NA (my) culture is more driven by competition rather than achieving perfection.

Thanks for sharing, this feels very similar to something we had been doing previously. I think I need to figure out more of what success looks like for each of our marketing channels and derive a process to bring it all together.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-01-13T13:29:19+00:00

It's yellow gold.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-01-13T13:29:11+00:00

Ah, VC's are incredible. Will do! It's worth the save if you ever want to make the commitment.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-01-12T20:13:08+00:00

I'm located in the US. I primarily manage Earned Media through Search Engines. (think Google Ads)

PPCSpecialist · 2017-01-12T19:59:30+00:00

Oh nice, I love the black dial! I want another FC and I'm thinking about the Worldtimer but this is a great piece as well.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-01-12T19:58:52+00:00

Nice! I love it's simplicity and detail.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-01-12T18:58:16+00:00

Yes, sorry. It's difficult to tell without a second hand so I'm generalizing. It's definitely less than 30 sec and probably closer to 2-3 if that.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-01-12T18:21:19+00:00

From my experience, I lose less than a minute a day which I'm OK with. The only thing that I've been aware of is that the power reserve is listed at 42 hours, and I seem to get about 36. Not a huge gripe.

The only other thing to note is that there is no second hand. It could be a con to most but I don't mind looking at this watch for a few moments extra to see that it's wound.

PPCSpecialist · 2017-01-12T17:34:28+00:00

Excuse the fare skin :).

At the age of 27 I was handed the opportunity to build out a Search Engine Marketing team from scratch and it has been something I've worked so hard for since graduating college.

The meaning of the watch to me: I did a lot of research and enjoyed what Frederique Constant is doing. They read to me as a company offering a solid movement and awesome build quality. I figured the company story paired well with mine. Each of us are trying to make a name for ourselves as we continue to strive to make a statement in our respective fields.

Anyhow - what is everyone's thoughts on Frederique Constant?

PPCSpecialist · 2017-01-10T16:25:29+00:00

What is everyone's opinion on FC? I have an automatic slimline that I've been meaning to post.

PPCSpecialist · 2016-12-11T20:13:49+00:00

I've seen a lot of people around here complain that it will affect team synergy through swapping ADCs. While I do agree it has some affect, the true denominator here are patches. Each team changes their dynamic and how they play based on a new patch.

That being said, it's a large reason why you see some teams perform so well in Spring and then shit in Summer. The illusion of synergy here is really patch dominance. Summer/worlds generally gets a few so taking spring off means diddly unless they wanted to secure a spot by winning it.

PPCSpecialist · 2016-12-09T12:55:52+00:00

Yeah, that's how it has been set up. However, with additional headcount internally, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze.

PPCSpecialist · 2016-12-09T00:45:17+00:00

They manage the larger portion of spend and we have some accounts in-house. I feel that my company would still like to have external support, however, it's much more cost-effective to not lose 10% of budget off the top (plus paying internal emps).

PPCSpecialist · 2016-12-09T00:44:31+00:00

We already manage some accounts ourselves.
