This is it, the week of Black Friday, Turkey 5 for my Amazon-selling friends—our Super Bowl of sorts.

At this point, the beds are made, the influencers paid (Net30 from the end of the month), and we sit and watch the numbers.

Some reading to stop you from staring longingly at e-commerce dashboards:

Artlist dropped their free 2024 brand content report, a wealth of ideas on how your brand should look at content in 2024. Grab it here.

Looking for some holiday reading? May I suggest the System Magazine archive, most of which can be downloaded in PDF.

This is an Oren solo email this week, Clayton and I will be back with the full HYPER experience next week.

Campaigns

Reflecting back on the year and a few of my favorite campaigns. Each stand out for a different reason. Some have impactful visuals, others a viral concept, some just interesting product ideas. No matter what industry you’re in, there’s some inspiration to find.

Colin breaks down one of the success stories from the first BootCamp:

We’ve been using @hanslorei as a success story for Cut30 but every time I look at his page I have to go back and update our content lmao.

Social media is the new portfolio
So many designers, artists etc have great work but it's relegated to links no one sees unless presented
You've gotta take your work to the people
So many fun content styles to do this with, i love this from the amazing CJ Hendry - and a format… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Geo-coded UX:

I suspect that UX design is extremely geo-coded, and most people do not acknowledge this.
