Millennial here 👋🏼 I don’t agree with this, I’ve climbed the ladder and achieved some really great success as a result of my company. I own a home, and land and have a great retirement fund. I came from literally nothing and through working with several tech companies have
Working at Amazon gave me a false sense of confidence. I thought I was awesome! Everything I did landed and we never missed. But how much of that was my skill vs. the platform the company created for me?
The problem with working for a FAANG company is that you are in an
The adtech industry is over invested in first party audience targeting and under invested in the role and importance of the creative. Full stop 🛑
If the mantra is “ the right ad, the right person at the right time…” then the ad aka creative should receive at least 1/3 of the
Ad execs sound off on Amazon’s DSP dilemma. This has always been the problem with Amazon. It's a leadership culture issue. Instead of building a product for the market, they try and make the market fit within Amazon. This has resulted in the same challenges year after year.

Device Graphs = Dad did the Xmas cards this year
ID Resolution= Mom did the Xmas cards this year
Alt IDs = I sent Xmas cards on FB
ID Bridging = What Xmas Cards ?
Youtube Ads are the worst given the amount of data they have on me. I expect more Google. Get your shit together. Sneakers, Hair replacement, Doritos and tequilla.... cmon.
Everyone flooding my timeline with Possible posts talking about how awesome it is, why are all the pictures of the beach then? I know why... y'all left and on vacation. Not a single one of you even went to the conference. Just a bunch of lanyard tan lines.

Am I just out of touch with the adtech space or are people going to companies I have never heard of?
I am excited to announce I have joined Chyken as SVP of Adtech.

1. Acquisition of Mediamath and Amobee if done by SSPs. 2. MSFT getting serious about their offering. 3. Google spinning off Adtech 4. The continued tumble of TV advertising 5. Industry SPO adoption.
Anyone who says WFH is as productive as working in an office knows damn well that isn’t the truth. Hybrid is where it’s at. The ultimate productivity strategy is hybrid
Here is my real beef with the programmatic ecosystem. The industry is designed to scale to the lowest common denominator of innovation. Tell me I'm wrong.
How many times have you heard the following feedback:
1) Thats cool! But nobody else is doing that. 2) Thats interesting

Here’s a thought, DSPs create a carbon tax on publishers that send more 5 bid requests for the same opportunity. That carbon tax is deducted from the CPM or charged as a fee to continue using the platform. This will reduce bad behavior and wasted energy
Today I decided to make a luxury watch purchase. I went to explore Rolex’s, Hublots (The H is silent 🤫 btw…) Omegas and decided on a vintage timepiece that I can actually read. 🤓
Rate my choice 1-10🔥
Here is a lie I used to tell myself. I am working 10 hours a day 6 days a week for my family.
That was a lie. I wasn’t grinding for them, I was doing it for me, but pretending it was for them.
How do I know? Because I asked them. They told me the one thing they want above

Before I worked in tech, I worked at an Auto body shop in the day, Apple Store at night and a night club once or twice a month. This allowed me the ability to start going to school to learn the skills needed to work in tech. I realized this was a growing industry and I didnt have
This year I turn 42.
Looking back on my career, a few insights come to mind.
1. It’s been a slow and steady journey.
2. Each step has been a progression from the previous.
3. Each step required me to say, “Eff it, let’s figure it out.”
4. Each step came with an imposter
What if we replaced frequency caps with carbon caps? 🧢
Advertisers are allocated a carbon limit for advertising and if paths, audiences, identifiers underperform, advertisers can reallocate existing carbon credits until they are exhausted. Once they are exhausted, that’s it.
Hear me out, if an algorithm buys requests where a user id is mapped to an incorrect user, how is performance impacted?
If it is not, how important is a user ID?
If it is, why would the algorithm keep bidding on low performing IDs?
What is the general sentiment about Retail Media Networks buying audience segments offsite and across desktop and social? I realize the 3rd word is networks, so is it sort of expected so long as overall sales are up from media spend?
Let’s talk about it
In 2024, I believe you should be able to slack anyone in your company including senior leadership and get a response. It baffles me that there are still organizations where senior leaders remove themselves from slack and never respond to team members.
Today was the day my daughter decided to sing in front of the whole school after training for 6 days alone in her bedroom.
Yup…. 😳😳
That’s show business baby!
When people make fun of me for NFTs because it’s riddled with fraud, complicated and a black box.
Then we all laugh and go back to work in adtech.

My goal is to have between $5M - $10M when I retire and I'm not sure of age. I love using my brain and solving problems. So lets say when will I slow down? Probably when Im a grandpa and prefer bird watching over other usages of time.
The more sales pitch meetings I sit in, the more I feel there is a need for designers to be a part of developing the collateral that is used for pitch decks.
Several times, I am lost because the visuals are overly complicated, which I then tune out the seller only to become
My ultimate pet peeve is the request for a “mystery meeting.” The famous LinkedIn hey let’s connect, I wanted to bounce something off of you, what’s your schedule look like next week?

creates a PPV match: contextual data vs 1P data. Let’s go platform vs platform. In the blue trunks UID2 in the red trunks .. $100 event who is in?
Im starting to question the trend of smiling in the LinkedIn profile pic. Statistically speaking, it is impossible for this many people to be “friendly and approachable.” In an effort to be more authentic, my next picture will display my most common emotion, which is confused 🤔
Just so we are clear, the Metaverse does not exist yet. Gaming is one of many entry points to the Metaverse, but similarly to gaming today, it is part of the Internet but not “the Internet.”

Candy Crush Saga is massive. Over 250 million monthly active users and the game has been downloaded.... wiat for it.... a staggering three BILLION times.
