1. “Why Would This Ad Appear On The Front Page Of The Irish Times On January 23rd 2020” ? 🧵1/18 🕵️🔎

Just looks like a regular ad, doesn’t it. Well it isn’t 👇

 2. If I was looking at this ad for the first time I wouldn’t pay much attention to it unless I wanted to test drive a Ford. Something then jumped out at me. 201 Event. Swap it round and you get Event 201. A test drive for Event 201 🤔
3. Just in case you don’t know what Event 201 is and when it took place. Event 201 took place on October 18th 2019 in New York. It was attended by the WHO, WEF, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation & John Hopkins Center for Health Security

4. The John Hopkins Center for Health Security who ran the event receives funding from WHO, BMGF, FDA, Homeland Security and The Rockefeller Foundation to name but a few.
5. Please read this (Part 1) to understand what happened at Event 201
6. Please read this (Part 2) to understand what happened at Event 201
7. So now that everyone knows what Event 201 is, why is this important and what has the ad in the Irish Times newspaper from January 23rd and 25th, 2020 got to do with any of this. Here’s why..
8. Between January 21st and January 24th 2020, the World Economic Forum had their annual meeting in Davos. The ad in the Irish Times appeared twice on January 23rd and January 25th, 2020. So nearly a full year ago.

9. Let’s not forget that CV was a mere blip on the radar at that stage. The very first mention of Coronavirus to appear in the Irish Times was January 22nd, 2020 so it was very much in its infancy and was still only in 🇨🇳 allegedly.
10. Back to the ad itself. Look carefully at the wording of the ad and the timeline of events.

201 TEST DRIVE Event

Is it merely a coincidence or was something bigger at play. I also checked to see if the ad appeared again at any stage in 2020. No, it did not.
11. There is no doubt in my mind that it is a signal to the people in the know to prepare and get ready for the lockdown in 🇮🇪 as had been laid out in Event 201 back in October 2019.
12. The lockdown in 🇮🇪 didn’t take place for another 2 months, until March 18th 2020. I expect this was when all the ads, signs etc were being put together for all the public announcements across the media. Remember how amazingly quick they were all rolled out across 🇮🇪
13. That also would have given the media such as RTE, IT and The Independent time to prime and terrify people using the psychological tools at their disposal. Constant fear mongering for 2 months 24/7 on the TV, Newspapers & Radio.
14. It was those two months from January to March that people were told to hand wash and “socialist” distance. Everybody walked on opposite sides of the street for fear of catching the “lethal” ro and avoided everybody else like the plague.
15. On March 18th we were then put into extreme lockdowns, people not allowed to visit each other and could only travel within a 2km radius. Ireland was like a scene out of a horror movie. Nobody was out and about, the streets were deserted. "The Calm Before The Storm" 👇
16. This undoubtedly has been one of the most well planned and orchestrated pandemics ever. We have been well and truly "played" as has been evidenced by the placing of an “ad” in a national newspaper 2 months before lockdown. The pump was being primed from January 23rd.
17. That’s not all though. I have discovered other things as well which took place in the IT in the last year. It has been one of the central conduits for relaying information. I’m working on it now and hope to release them as a 🧵 in the coming weeks. Please R/T. END
18. Thanks for reading. If you would like to read additional threads on other COVID topics I have collated them all in the one place for easy reading.

Marketing, Content, & Audience

Clubhouse highlights from @Julian, @shl, @mkobach, & @tobydoyhowell:

When building an audience, optimize for 3 things:

Volume
➡ How many followers?

Affinity
➡ How much do they prefer your tweet to the same one from someone else?

Recursive power
➡ How influential are your followers toward your goals?

Here's how to do marketing:

People follow to be entertained.

Entertain people & remind them that you exist.

You'll be top of mind when they want to sell an e-book or are frustrated by a slow check-out.

Don't make marketing more complicated than it is.

Forget funnels.

@mkobach just wants @Fast to be present to more people & knows 2M > 1M.

@tobydoyhowell just wants people to see MB everywhere & realize that the Brew is inevitable

Fact: people are more relatable than brands

Building your company around a personal brand(s) is a competitive advantage.

@Fast encourages & even helps people to build their personal brands

The best marketing affects a human's behavior.

It leverages psychology to impact people's perceptions and decisions.

Understand it and you'll influence consumer's buying decisions.

Use these 12 psychology tips to influence your audience 🧵

1. Theory of reciprocity

As humans, we’re more likely to do something for someone after they’ve done something for us.

When you consistently provide value to your audience -- they’re more likely to reciprocate by supporting you.

This builds brand advocates.

2. Too many choices

Too many choices means too much confusion.

This affects a consumer's ability to make a decision and demotivates them from doing so.

Reduce your options.

Increase your conversion rate.

3. Decoy Effect

Perspective influences decisions.

With the decoy effect, you alter the consumer’s perspective by making the highest ticket item look like a deal.

Ex:

Small Popcorn: $3
Medium Popcorn: $6.50
Large Popcorn: $7

The large feels like a great deal.

4. The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon

This phenomenon is when you see something for the first time then feel like you start seeing it everywhere.

Once you become aware of something you start to look for it unconsciously.

This then convinces you that it really is everywhere.

I took Ogilvy's course on Behavioural Economics and Comsumer psychology.

Here are the 10 important theory's I learned from it which you'd be a fool to miss out on:

Loss aversion theory:

The negative psychological impact we feel from losing something is about twice as strong as the positive impact of gaining the same thing.

Finding ₹100$ would makes us happy
Losing ₹100$ would makes us 2X unhappy

Sentence Framing:

The way you frame your sentences is very important. Make them forget about the negative thing by reiterating something which might be positive. We have a stronger bias for things that sound positive.

10% chance of death Vs 90% chance of survival

Goal Gradient Hypothesis:

Humans are hardwired for instant gratification.
as people get closer to the reward, they speed their behavior. So, reward people sooner instead of later

eg: Don't make a goal of reading 52 books a year, make it 1 chapter per day.

Mental Anchoring:

It's the phenomenon where our decisions are heavily based on the 1st piece of information we receive, regardless of whether the information is relevant or not.

Make the first piece of information powerful.

I promised threads about recruiting for the next week. Here's the first one on referrals. In growth/marketing speak: referrals are your organic growth, inbound is your brand, and outbound/sourcing is your ad spend. You want to growth-hack your referrals. Here's how. 1/n

2/ Referrals (people on your team referring candidates into your recruiting pipeline) is great because it scales with your org size. They also convert higher since one of their friends is trying to convince them to join, plus they are generally not interviewing at many companies.

3/ The main disadvantage is that they tend to re-enforce your current team makeup. So if you have a diverse team, referrals will continue that diversity, but if you do not, you'll be entrenching your existing makeups which can have some real cons.

4/ A common tool for incentivizing referrals is the referral bonus (the coolest version of which is in equity IMO, although $ works well too), but I think you can do a lot more by leveraging process (referral parties) and culture (creating real pride about your referral culture).

5/ Referral parties are about making a game out of referrals by (virtually) locking 2+ teams in a room for 60 minutes and asking them them to go all out putting together a referral list. Here's how to do it.

eComm and D2C will be acutely impaired by the ATT opt-in mechanic coming to iOS (rumored made mandatory in March). ATT doesnt exclusively impact app advertisers, & in fact may disproportionately damage eComm and D2C. Some thoughts on how those advertisers should prepare (1/X)

2/ In the @MobileDevMemo 2020 mobile advertising predictions post, I posit that D2C ad spend may drop by as much as 50% in Q2 2020. FB revealed in December that app-to-web campaigns will be governed by ATT opt in, severely limiting campaign efficiency

3/ FB had only previously discussed ATT in terms of app campaign relevance. This new revelation likely stemmed from further instructions from Apple following FB's initial guidance

4/ FB affirmed in Dec that app-to-web campaigns will be: conversion event limited, aggregated at campaign level, and limited wrt attribution windows (default: 7-day click). This effectively replicates the privacy treatment of app campaigns on app-to-web campaigns


5/ Adam Lovallo from https://t.co/baV6VrUW7E describes 28-day click / 1-day view the "gold standard" for D2C. Why would FB change the default to 7-day? Because it is aggregating conversions at the campaign level -- universally, with what it is calling Aggregated Event Measurement

THE LAST STAND OF PAVAN KHIND - THE 300 BATTLE OF INDIA

A long🧵that u must read

In desperate times, great men come forth. Those men who are ready to sacrifice all of their lives work for a single cause.

Baji Prabhu Deshpande is one such man.

1/25


Battle was between the Maratha Warrior Baji Prabhu Deshpande and Sidi Masoud of Adil Shahi Sultanate.

In 1660, the Maratha King Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji was trapped in the fort of Panhala, under siege and vastly outnumbered by an Adilshahis army led by Sidi Masoud.

2/25

And while everyone is thinking that finally the Maratha king will be subdued, Shivaji planned to escape to the fort of Vishalgadh. It was administered by a Maratha chieftain named Range Narayan Orpe under Shivaji.

3/25

For months the siege warfare continued as Shivaji made sure that the food source of the Besieging army drops down, due to which they will initiate a general assault on the castle.

4/25

Shivaji, Baji Prabhu, and around 600 of their best troops, hardened mountaineers of the Maval region, would dash through the Adilshahis force at night.

A man named Shiva Kashid, who resembled Shivaji in appearance, had volunteered to dress like the king and get captured.

5/25

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.

(THREAD) The Whitaker scandal is deepening, as it becomes clear that Sessions' Russia recusal was a coordinated sham and his firing an act of obstruction—and that his replacement is a White House plant inside the Mueller probe. I hope you'll retweet and read on for more details.


1/ From 2014-17 Whitaker worked for World Patent Marketing—which during his tenure defrauded consumers out of $26 million and was successfully prosecuted by the feds. His involvement in the scam confirmed he had loose morals and that the feds would never want to employ him again.

2/ Despite the seeming impossibility of a man with Whitaker's background getting a job at Justice ever again—he'd been found to have used his former title as a US attorney to fraudulently threaten consumers with valid complaints with criminal penalties—Whitaker found an opening.

3/ Within 60 days of parachuting out of World Patent Marketing as it was being fined $26 million by the feds, Whitaker was working for CNN and telling a fellow attorney panelist that his purpose in working for CNN was to get noticed by one man—Donald Trump—and thereby get a job.

4/ Whitaker spent his time at CNN making ludicrous statements about the Mueller probe: there was no obstruction or collusion, he said; Mueller had no authority to look into any aspect of Trump's finances or to subpoena him, he said. All the while, he hoped Trump was watching him.
