Weekend brain candy: my Instagram folder unlocked 🍭

Gen-Z ads, Tyler wisdom, GEO search shift. Steal what you dare.

Day 123/100

 

Hey—It's Tim. 

Saturday means two things:

  1. I tell myself I’m “taking a break.”

  2. I then spend four straight hours doom-scrolling Instagram “for the newsletter.”

Below is the haul.
Zero nutritional value, 100 % marketing joy.
Save what you like, steal what you dare.

Gen-Z have entered the work force

And I love it.

I grew up on Youtube poop, Newgrounds and the rough parts of the internet in the early 2000’s.

This is my jam.

I literally have a folder on Instagram where I have just saved so many of these types of videos. Another top spot is this one from Amtrak.

How I’m kicking off my Monday stand up

And a fav from Tyler the Creator. Just something worth thinking about every time we make anything.

A couple articles to round things off. Have a great weekend everyone.

I’m starting to think I need to do a daily content marketing video whilst I brush my teeth and it’ll just do numbers on TikTok…

You wanna see that?
