Facebook Werbeboykott

„The Facebook ad boycotts have entered the big leagues. Now what? – An advertiser boycott of Facebook is gaining steam, now counting Verizon and Unilever among its participants.

„The hard truth about the Facebook ad boycott: Nothing matters but Zuckerberg – or years, Facebook (FB) has been viewed as one of the only truly indispensable digital advertising platforms for big and small businesses looking to reach the social network’s vast audience. … The highest-spending 100 brands accounted for $4.2 billion in Facebook advertising last year, according to Pathmatics data, or about 6% of the platform’s ad revenue. … Much of the rest of Facebook’s ad revenue comes from small and medium-sized businesses, ad executives say. It would likely take tens of thousands of them, acting over a significant period of time, to put a big dent in Facebook’s bottom line.“

Apple: „Point of View“

Apple’s Relentless Strategy, Execution, and Point of View – Apple’s announcement of ‚Apple Silicon‚ is important for many reasons. Delivering on such an undertaking is the result of remarkable product engineering. … What I mean by Apple’s model is not about its direct to consumer business or vertical integration, but the culture of having a ‚point of view.‘ Apple makes products that customers love and are delighted by, but it makes them by studying technology, the market, and usage to arrive at plans and strategies. Unlike what you read in textbooks, Apple is much less about responding to micro changes, hype cycles, or even ‚feedback.‘ In fact you can see often how Apple’s model does not work so well when it rushes products to market or listens too closely to hype (eg Home Pod). Apple is a company that has a point of view – when the point of view lines up with a great product people love, it can become an unstoppable force.“
