❤️ Love it? ♻️ Share it.

Hi friend 👋🏼 and welcome to this week’s edition of “the dump.” Marketers are starting to prepare for a world without TikTok… Yes, as the ban nears, they are taking it very seriously. Should we?

We have a ton for you this week, from social media platforms updates you need to know to fantastic/crazy creative.

Are you ready?

P.S. Show some love to our forever sponsor, TANGO, by giving them a follow on LinkedIn. They help a random street car for every new follow. (seriously) 🐈

Cheers,
Geoff

🛑 Marketers prepare for a world without TikTok as ban nears
