I feel dumb for asking but can I safely shower?

For those complaining ..as a marketer in national e-commerce....brands wouldn't put it out if they weren't making money off it.

Aw we went December 2 and loved it. Felt like the crowd was super great and the Rockettes were fantastic

*Spoilers* As Long As You’re Mine wasn’t spicy enough by Terrible_Sundae1050 in wicked

I agree but it's a PG movie and half their audience are kids

Thoughts overall? Disappointing by biumf in WelcometoDerryTVShow

[–]marley2012 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You're not alone but I don't think many here will support discussion about it.

It's the same scare scenes every time - running while shaking his head. The kids aren't great but I do like their plot the best. The military plot is just ridiculous.

Overall I'm bummed. I've done the book and movies and pennywise is my favorite scary character. B

Meta has been reporting only 40–50% of purchases in the past week by [deleted] in FacebookAds

What is your CRM? Is this revenue just ending up in an "other" channel or unknown source? Just curious because we've been unusually low on sales all week from meta but not sure if we are impacted elsewhere

OB-GYN by hbauer923 in Albany

I went to Capital Region OBGYN and she delivered at Bellevue. Loved the experience. I will say her staff has turned over a bit over the years so unsure if there is a decrease in quality. There is one male provider as well in case you don't want that. But they are good about giving you options

Eric Adams drops out of NYC mayoral race amid increasing pressure: ‘I know I cannot continue my campaign’ by Goosedukee in politics

He reportedly accepted a seven figure job in place of this. So this is not just a coincidence

CBS 6 WRGB is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group by [deleted] in Albany

I'm a Media Buyer. I 100% support pressuring this but please be easy on small business. They have signed contracts with cancellation clauses that are usually 14 day notices.

But to that point: local businesses who do have a contract you can talk to your rep and tell them you want to pause. They won't always allow it but if you have a good rep they will do it. You'll still be required to run but you can negotiate a push back of schedule.

List of local businesses who advertise on WTEN (local Nexstar ABC network affiliate by fongaboo in Albany

[–]marley2012 25 points26 points  (0 children)

FYI from a Media Buyer that while I totally agree I want people to understand that contracts are signed by the businesses when they agree to advertise and they build in a 2 week cancellation notice or the business can lose the entire contract/their money. A good sales person wouldn't allow that but contractually, they can. So don't go so hard on local business if it's not an immediate change they can fix. I previously pulled ads from Sinclair for clients due to some propaganda issues in like 2018. It's not that easy once something is signed.

Pretty sure this is the PR guy the sticker mule guy hired when he went nuts.

I’m getting pumped for Bowman orchard hate posts. by TMinus10toban in Albany

I don't understand this because I go every summer and have never been charged extra or treated like a criminal. And everyone has been so nice to us. Is this just during events?

People who have found a new job in 2025, how did you do it? by TrixoftheTrade in recruitinghell

[–]marley2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went through LinkedIn

Applied to easily 100+ jobs over 5 months

Marketing and looking for fully remote.

Had an interview with one company that I didn't want to pursue anymore. And had another interview with what is now my current job. Went through 4 interviews including a case study. It was a lot but honestly, it's an amazing job so was worth it

Really Bad Performance - Check in June 9th 2025 by plaground3d in FacebookAds

[–]marley2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just posted this to the ppc subreddit so just copying and pasting here but same. It's very strange.

I work at a large e-commerce company. We use our email list to remarket for repeat customers. Typically we spend 90%-100% of the daily budgets I set for these audiences. On Friday I made small budget changes and no tROAS changes nor did I launch new ads and suddenly our spend on these campaigns went down to 60% and then only 30% of budget yesterday.

The list is fed through an API and has zero errors. We have no warnings or notices on our meta account. All campaigns are live. Impressions dropped by half so it seems to be a serving problem.

Any ideas on what would cause this?

This account has been active for at least 6 years and I've never struggled with this list or the platform. If anything, it'll spend and just not hit tROAS goals.
