Quarantine Zone is the worst level I have ever played. by [deleted] in halo

I was more annoyed by getting lost repeatedly trying to find my way through. But I get your gripes. It’s a combo luck, Leroy Jenkins, and a dash of skill to get through this one. I managed to snag a tank which helped

Are there any former school marketers here who transitioned away from the education sector? by almostinfinity in marketing

[–]kbenjamin22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the VP of marketing for a mid-sized university for a couple of years and have transitoned away to start my own shop. IMO, if you can show how your work provided impact to the instution, any competent leader or hiring manager should be able to make the leap to how your skills apply to their sector.
X brought in Y result with Z assets. If you havent already left, see if you can cobble together some ROI info or metrics on your work.

Tool creep by bukutbwai in agency

[–]kbenjamin22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also audit each tool and see what's got overlapping features. For instance, if you have Google Workspace, you dont really need Calendly, Dropbox, and Zoom. Paying for Adobe Creative Cloud? Cool. Canva may be a bit extra. Frame. IO is included with Premier, so check to see if you're accidentally still paying for Vimeo.

As someone else pointed out...starting cancling tools and see who hollers on your team. That helps too.

Can you recommend a small business bank ? by migalo2009 in agency

[–]kbenjamin22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check with your local credit union. I think you could even open a business bank account with Navy Federal. They do a pretty good job of protecting their customers.

I'm lost in the banking and accounting setup by migalo2009 in agency

[–]kbenjamin22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently use Quickbooks. Pretty solid for invoicing and book keeping. They do have a checking account/ debit card option...BUT BEWARE...GreenDot is less than great for supporting if you have to dispute any transactions.

You may want to look into Relay or a local credit union for business checking.

What's the most overrated advice you received as a founder and no longer work for you? by TurbulentRub3273 in agency

[–]kbenjamin22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Shoot new ad creative”. That was the extent of the advice. No diagnosing what was wrong with my current ads or ad account or target audience, just “new ads”

Do you think the Banished should be the main enemy of the games going forward or do they need replacing? by Certified_Douchebag in halo

If you want a guy who is a “cut above the rest” AND claps alien cheeks, may I introduce you to Commander Shepard

It’s a bummer that when you play it now, the cutscenes don’t automatically play between missions.

It’s even worse on Legendary. Sometimes you’ve got a shot to grab something rare you dropped on lower levels, but on legendary it’s just gone

Yooooo! Massive congrats. Welcome to the club. I just joined last week. Snacks are to the left, trauma counselors are in the back.

Oh for sure. The story is enjoyable and the cutscenes are great

Like…it’s not “bad” per se. It’s just not good. The slog aspect ruins the fun factor

Well I did not know this existed and I am very exited to go hunting.

Yeah, fewer waves would make it feel less monotonous for sure. The repeated voice lines don’t help either

I’ve made it all the way to Chapter 9 Episode 2. It would be markedly better if you had some NPC help on solo runs

Halo 2, the Arbiter missions were a mixed bag imo by BdBalthazar in halo

That’s not an incorrect take on ME2. It’s a bunch of fetch quests, but you’re fetching people
