+ Just how frothy is the AI bubble, anyway?
| THE INTRO
Did someone say Free Shoes?
OH HECK YES. Oct 28th, in none other than NYC it-very-self š½ weāre hosting a Sip ān Shop event for W6ers.
Weāre taking over Koio in SoHo for a bit of nosh, a bit of sit, and a bit of shop. Everyone gets a free pair of shoes on their way out!

Get new shoes at our event!
Want in? The guest list is practically already full but there ARE still a few spots.
Wanting to sponsor this intimate soiree? Weāve got a spot left if youāre keen. Two tiers, just hit up our girl Karlie for the deets.

I watched this on a beautiful beach in Laguna purely for entertainment. It definitely delivered and I want to see more D2C autists argue.
Overall these discussions are extremely unproductive because both sides are aiming to win instead of finding common grounds and then inch out

Just how frothy is the AI bubble?
Why curiosity beats clarity
Thereās a reason the best ads donāt tell you everything ā they make you lean in.
The ad strategy that works because it looks bad
Why actors beat influencers (and how to find them)
The 10-second UGC setup you can steal right now
And the one āshortcutā tool top brands pretend isnāt public
If you think clarity sells, youāre only half right. Read the full piece before your next ad gets too polished for its own good.

ā”ļø Purchase Profit Optimization
Here's what it is and how it works:
While so far, we only had the option to optimize for Purchase Value, now FB is allowing us to optimize for profit
In order to do that, we first need to create an additional parameter called "net_revenue"
How to create it?
