Facebook APIs: There's More Under the Hood than Anyone Knows
Whatās available through Facebookās APIs? No one really knows. Many think that the only available statistics lie in Facebook Insights, but since Facebook opened up their Insights API, a treasure trove of data is available to agencies and brands. API dashboards from companies like AllFacebook, Socialbakers and PageLever serve as the new focus groups and using their tools, agencies are able to identify a brandsā active and engaged fanbase and parallel those segments to determine if theyāre reaching brandsā target consumer, if theyāre targeting these consumers with paid Facebook ads and if not, what adjustments need to be made to their engagement strategy and idea of that brandsā target consumer. This session will also examine the role of social media as it relates to brands as a whole, and explain why there is so much value for brands on Facebook. Weāll go on to discuss confusion around ad APIs and Facebook Connect APIs (what brands can access within consumer profiles), and share what else Facebook tools and insights can bring to both social media marketing and brand positioning.
The Evolution of Advertising: How Consumers Won the War for Their AttentionHubSpot
Ā
You're more likely to survive a plane crash than click a banner ad. Crazy, right? Consumers have learned to tune out advertising, but believe it or not, there was a time when products weren't branded, ad agencies didn't exist, and advertising as a profession was unheard of.
In this epic, must-see presentation, we explore the ENTIRE history and evolution of advertising to unveil how a comprehensive (yet digestible) timeline of advertising milestones led to an epidemic of consumer indifference, as well as what marketers can do about it to reach consumers in the years ahead.
Don't be discouraged by the 472 slides -- 29.39% of those are dedicated to awesome pictures and animations that make this a breeze to get through.

Buying Out a Business Partner or Shareholder: Structuring and Financing the Deal
When an entrepreneur starts a new business, planning for a buyout of a business partner years in the future is rarely a top priority- but maybe it should be.
As businesses grow and evolve, so too do ownership or shareholder groups. The same partners or investors who took a company from startup to $20 million in revenues arenāt necessarily the right people to grow the company from $20 to $50 million, or $50 to $150 million, and so on.
Layer in retirements, partnership disputes and absentee or non-strategic owners receiving generous compensation, and making changes in ownership becomes increasingly more important (and costly) as the business grows.
On the next few pages, weāll discuss:
1. When a Partner Buyout is a Solution
2. Valuing the Business
3. Structuring a Partner Buyout
4. Financing a Partner Buyout
5. Questions a Business Owner Should Ask When Raising Capital
6. Using an Investment Banker to Raise Capital for the Buyout
About Access Capital Partners:
Access Capital Partners is a middle market investment bank that provides strategic advisory services, raises capital for companies (growth, refinancing, restructuring, acquisitions, partner buyouts, management buyouts, leveraged buyouts), and helps business owners sell or recapitalization their companies.
We are shareholder centric and have deep experience in the middle market. With over 100 transactions representing over $8 billion in volume, business owners leverage our experience as they navigate through inflection points and ultimately achieve personal liquidity.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover

79. "MEN WANTED FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY.
SMALL WAGES, BITTER COLD, LONG MONTHS
OF COMPLETE DARKNESS, CONSTANT
DANGER, SAFE RETURN DOUBTFUL. HONOR
AND RECOGNITION IN CASE OF SUCCESS."
160. Dear Washington State Democrat,
As much as I hate to interfere in the election of another state (other than Florida), I feel that I must write in order to urge you to support Mark
Sidran for Washington State Attorney General.
I have known Mark since I was accidentally admitted to Harvard in the late 1960ās. Mark, who got in on merit and merit alone, was a classmate
of mine, and has made something of himself.
As you may know, he has spent the last 28 years as a prosecutor, Seattle City Attorney, and as a practicing lawyer. Markās experience is what I
like to call one of his three Eās. The other two Eās are integrity and energy. Wait. Scrap integrity. Although Mark has it in spades, it does not start
with an āE.ā I remember learning that at Harvard. But I digress. Letās get back to his experience.
As City Attorney, Mark took on some of the most egregious corporate polluters in Puget Sound. I could name names, but I may be planning to
run for public office in Minnesota someday, and why burn a bridge?
As Attorney General, Mark will continue his fight on behalf of citizens by doubling the size of the stateās consumer protection division. Tired of
finding out your senior citizen mother has been ripped off by scam artists? Besides telling your mom to be more alert, you can take action by
electing Mark.
Oh, now I remember the other two āeāsā. Endorsements and Electability. Besides me, Mark has been endorsed by every single Democratic
county prosecutor in the state. These are people, who unlike me, actually know what the Attorney General does. Bill Gates Sr., former
president of the Washington State Bar and father of someone who Iād like to get to know better when I get ready to run for office, has endorsed
Mark as well. So have civil rights leaders like Norm and Constance Rice. Others include environmentalists, led by Washington Conservation
Voters, the Stateās largest environmental political group, and a long list of elected officials such as Governor Gary Locke, Congressman Norm
Dicks, former Governor Booth Gardner, many civic leaders and leading lawyers. Governor Locke, I have learned, is the only Asian American
state governor to make an endorsement in this race. That alone says it all.
161. I could go on and on with the endorsements. But frankly, no one cares about endorsements. Letās move on to what really matters to Democrats
ā electability. Republicans donāt want Mark to be the Democratic nominee because they know he will be the most difficult candidate to beat in a
statewide race that isnāt fixed by the use of paperless machines. This is the first time in 12 years that the Attorney Generalās seat has been
open and the Republican Party and their special interests are salivating at the chance of putting one of their lackeys in one of the most
powerful jobs in your state. Mark is a common sense Democrat with a proven track record and the clear ability to win in November or whenever
the Department of Homeland Security allows us to vote.
George W. Bush does not want Mark Sidran to be your next Attorney General. Neither does Deborah Senn, who did not go to college with me.
In conclusion, give your vote, and if possible, your check to Mark Sidran. And if you really want to see more of those endorsements, check out
the partial list below or visit Markās website, www.MarkSidran4AG.com. As you can tell from the ā4,ā this is one hip campaign.
Sincerely,
Al Franken
