We need to talk about Netflix...

As you may know, Netflix have created quite the angry mob with their new pricing structure. This includes running ads on their lowest pricing tier.

Do you think this is a great opportunity for ads specialists to claim the space? Or a losing game due to it's stock and subscriber base tanking.

A GUIDE TO GROWING YOUR NETWORK & GENERATING OPPORTUNITIES ON AUTO-PILOT

Sometimes networking with other professionals can feel like an overwhelming task, until you start building momentum:

Here are 3 steps to growing your network and generating opportunities on auto-pilot:

1. Building your Dream 100.

Start by making a list of the 100 people you want to meet. Be realistic but also don't limit yourself. It's 2022, the internet has made it possible to get in touch with pretty much anyone over social media/email.

2. Leading with value.

Make it all about the person you're reaching out to.

Solve a problem they might be facing, or are going to be facing. Really do your best to research the individual so you understand their problems before reaching out to them. Always be a problem solver, not a problem maker.

3. Following up.

How many times has someone reached out to you and you were just too busy to get back to them? Just make sure you're staying conversational, and not coming off as spammy.

During this process, make sure you're always asking:

• Would I respond to this message?

• Is my message clear?

• Am I coming off too aggressive?

WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK: A NEW ERA

Finding in-demand sneakers is not always easy. Coming from Montreal (CA), Sneaker Burger has been slowly acquiring market share in the UA sneaker market. As they continue to scale out their paid traffic and grow their audience on social media, they have some interesting partnerships on the way.

BRAND SPOTLIGHT - JUICEE SWEAT

Getting the most out of your cardio sessions should be a top priority. Last Friday, we spoke with Maria (founder of Juicee Sweat) and shared some insights into taking an emerging Fitness Accessory brand to the next level. As she continues to build the foundations for success, this company has a huge opportunity to be at the forefront of the market
