  Last week, my daughter temporarily lost the use of one of her arms, and Twitter found many of its advertisers temporarily pausing campaigns there. Conceptually, they’re related to a broader theme, one that  I explored in a 2020 column, “In a World without Facebook.”  The theme is how to adapt to constraints. The biggest […]

  As I first wrote this, I was returning from a dinner event celebrating the anniversary of a friend’s PR firm. Then, I went on Twitter and saw news story after news story about changes that will affect people’s lives. Those changes are unfolding as I write this now. Twitter sometimes seems like it’s all about […]

  This week, I celebrated my birthday (yay), participated in a 60-person offsite with my colleagues, hosted a webinar, hosted a community virtual event, celebrated a relationship anniversary, and somehow got a few other things done. Writing a whole bespoke newsletter wasn’t in the cards. But I would like to post a couple of updates. […]

  I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the topic we weren’t talking about enough this week at Advertising Week was Ye. I’m throwing up in my mouth. But it’s true. As much as I’d rather talk about a thing else — cookie deprecation, creative optimization, Terry Kawaja’s Streamopoly board — I wish more of us (myself […]

  Allow me to atone as last week’s holiday and some other obligations delayed this missive’s publication. It’s still a piece I wanted to share. Writing this as I wrapped the Day of Atonement holiday, known in Hebrew as Yom Kippur, I expected to use the column as an excuse to revisit the marketing sins […]

  “Nice to see you,” he said. And that was pretty much it. It was 31 years since I last saw him. I’ll call him Sven. He was my bunkmate at Camp Scatico, up in Elizaville, NY, in the Hudson Highlands. I made a name for myself there, not for any feats that a kid […]

  My name is David, and I’m a connectorholic. You might know that introducing people to each other is a hobby of mine, and even a pastime, but you might not realize that I find it addictive. I get a little too eager to introduce two people who can create that 1+1=3 magic together. Those […]

  Thanks to our supporter, Bottom Line Having gone to two funerals over the past month, I’ve been forced to confront mortality more than usual lately, so now you’re coming along for the ride. Naturally, on the ride out to the second of the burials, I began to wonder, “Can I get a column out of […]

As I publish issue 200, six years after starting this newsletter as the monthly-ish Serially Sporadic and four years after taking it weekly, it’s an apt time for time travel. The year was 2013. I had recently wrapped up a seven-year run with my corporate alma mater 360i when my alma mater Binghamton University reached out […]

  The Product Hunt newsletter headline as I write this is “TikTok as a Search Engine.” The Hustle went with a similar theme this week – “Google’s got competish.” Adorbs. The crux: Alphabet is touting how TikTok and Instagram are popular search engines for younger consumers, and per the logic of American-style capitalism, this benefits Alphabet by […]
