Yes, "sales" get most taunts in the town halls. But, very often, "marketing" is also an easy target that gets blamed.

But here’s the truth:
Marketing can’t patch holes that leadership refuses to fix.

❌ A new “strategy” every week
❌ A price that doesn’t match the value
❌ No real product-market fit
❌ Sales ignoring leads they asked for
❌ Big expectations, insufficient budget
❌ Micromanagement at every turn, or setting wrong expectations

These aren't marketing problems.
They're leadership gaps - dressed up as marketing failures.

Sure—sometimes "marketing" is the problem.

But more often, marketing is just the mirror.
It reflects the real state of your business—good or bad.

So before you point fingers at the marketers, ask yourself:

Is this really a marketing issue?
Or are you trying to outsource accountability?

A moment of reverence at Ghamama Masjid 🌧️🕌

Stood here where history was made—this is the very spot where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) once led the prayer for rain (Salat al-Istisqa). As the story goes, clouds gathered shortly after, and the long drought in Madinah ended with rain—a miracle that gave this mosque its name, Ghamama, meaning cloud in Arabic.

Deeply humbled and grateful to witness this sacred place in person.

It's a reminder to us that if we'd like to aim for something that seems far-fetched or impossible right now, we should go back to praying first, get the mental energy that we have the Almighty's support. Then approach with full confidence.

If you're a marketer, AND,
When you try your best but you don't succeed, 🎵
When you get what you want but not what you need 🎵
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep 🎵

Try the method given below 👇 with the testimonial on the second image. Phew 😅

I confess that I haven't fully explored the generative tools, despite being aware of them, though I am an early adopter.

From GPTs to the newest and greatest tools, which resources are you using to learn the deep use of most of them? Can you recommend it to me?

After the GPTs, I have started exploring NotebookLM & VEO3, now.

Can't wait to explore Preplexicity's Comet to experience a new level of browsing. But, I'd have to wait for that.

Please suggest 💬 the best AI tools 🤖 you have heard, explored, or learned from last year till now, and preferably the best learning module you tried to grasp at the beginning.

Most marketing agencies won’t survive the next 5 years with the same service model. ⛔

This is one of the most talked-about & realized predictions after the rise of AI and digital transformation of the platforms we have been relying on for the last 15 years.

But let’s be real: "AI is coming for the core of what most agencies sell." 🤖

Think about it:
🔻 Paid media buying? 80% AI-driven soon
🔻 Web design? 70% AI-generated
🔻 SEO? Automated & challenges from AEO
🔻 Social campaigns? half could be AI-handled

That’s 75%+ of services—and revenue—at risk. ⚠️

So what now? > Reinvention. 🛠️
The future agency won’t just do work; it should train, guide, and build systems.

Here’s where I’d place my bets: 👇

1. Strategic coaching & consultation
2. AI search & automation mastery
3. Sales, AI & Tech Integration training
4. Creative Social + Video Strategy (yes, will still exist)
5. No/ low-code tool creation > Tools not tasks
6. Groundbreaking content (yes, will still exist)

It won’t be easy.
But the ones who evolve will lead a very different—and more valuable—industry. 💹

The clock’s ticking. ⏰
The model is breaking. 🪚
Now’s the time to rebuild. ⚒️

The Journey That Changed Everything. 🛫

I went to the Hajj this year, seeking forgiveness. 🕋

But I returned with something more - CLARITY.

In the quiet moments between the chaos of movement and prayer, I asked myself the hard questions: 🤲

What am I really building?
What will truly matter in the end?
Who am I serving through my work?

Somewhere between Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, I realized I wasn’t lost.
I was being redirected. 🛣️

That spiritual journey of 42 days didn’t just cleanse my soul—it realigned my purpose.
It gave me the courage to make difficult career decisions. 🚦

To pursue work that feels meaningful.
To let go of noise and choose impact over titles.

Hajj transformed my heart, but also my ambition, goal & purpose.
Not everything changed overnight, but I came back a different person - I believe > more intentional, more focused, and more fulfilled. 🎯

If you’re feeling stuck…
Maybe what you need isn’t another therapy session.

Maybe you need stillness.
And space to hear what your soul is actually trying to say. 🌄

It's been a while since I took a break from mainstream work & social platforms like LinkedIn - that too on purpose of completing this journey.

Alhamdulillah for the blessed journey that brought me back to an enlighted path. The next challenge is to hold it to my core till the day of judgement.

The reason why Mamdani got the max mileage with the youths. The same happened with Hindi and Urdu as well. But, entirely different content - not with AI ofcourse!

How a অভিনন্দন post can bite you back and promoting them with ads become অতি চালাকি for a brand.

SamBoga has compiled 11.11 tech deals from Daraz in one place. Recommending you to check them out

**The ultimate (sort of) Daraz 11.11 Tech deals are here.
**
I know a lot of you have been patiently been waiting for the deals. So I have made a comprehensive G-Sheet that includes my hand picked tech deals. Head over to my discord server and go the best-tech-deals channel. Also you can check the comment section for details as well.

This sheet includes everything from TV, Smartphones to PC peripherals, Audio and mobile related gears.I have scoured the site to find the things that I think you might find good.

The final prices are merely an estimate based on what offers Daraz has communicated for the buyers. It might go higher or lower based on what payment method you are using , when you are buying and what not. But this is the lowest possible price. The process to claim the deals is given on the sheet. Try to buy it during the Day 1 as max discount will be given on that day. To make sure you don't miss them out, Adr then to cart

As for **Daraz Buy more save more ** deals , that is the Global ones, there is no mention of offer price. So I have just added the links for some good keyboards, mouse , controllers and PC related stuffs. These are solid items , I would recommend checking them every now and then during 11.11 period to see if any deal pop ups.

Also I have opened a discussion channel in the discord server for deals related discussions. Go there and discuss about it with fellow members. Also if you find a deal that is worth getting , ping me and I will add that to the deal sheet.

I am trying to add a rating to the deals so that you can get an idea on which one is a must buy for you. Use Ctrl+F to find your desired items , use filters or whatever.

Also I will post my hand picked favourite deals in story, so don't forget to come back to my page often to see those.

My suggestions is that compare with the prices in other places and the final daraz price, then decide.

Also I will add deals from other sites soon, keep posted. To let your friends also know about the deals, add them to the server.

**Disclaimer**: The Daraz Links are my affiliate links and I might get a kickback if you purchase using that link. It will cost you nothing but it will help me to fund the content creation

Have any questions? Drop them in the comments. If you have a friend who need good deals? Ask them to follow this thread.

জাস্ট চিন্তা করেন, এরকম গনজোয়ার ছাড়া বিপক্ষ পলিটিক্যাল পার্টি সরকার পতন করলে, অবস্থাটা কি দারাইতো? যা যা হচ্ছে, তা তো হইতোই। বরং ছাত্র, সাধারণ মানুষ আর ভলান্টিয়াররা যা ভালো করার চেষ্টা করছে, সেটাও হইতো না, মানুষ নতুন আশাও দেখত না। জবাবদিহির যে একটা পরিবেশই তৈরি হচ্ছে সেটাও হইতো না।

যা দখলদারী দেখছেন, গত আমলেও এরাই ছিল, খালি নামে আলাদা। কেউ কেউ বিজয়ের অংশ হিসেবে নিজেদেরটা বুঝে নিতে আসছে।

তাই মাঠের ভলাণ্টারিজম এর সাথে, পলিসি লেভেলে যেন জবাবদিহিটা নিশ্চিত হয় সেটা সবাই ফলো করেন। আবার পলিসি ভালো হলেও অ্যাকাউনটেবিলিটির প্রাকটিস যে থাকবে না সেটাও আমরা জানি। তাই সেবাদাতা এবং গ্রহীতা দুদিকেই যেন সেন্স-ওফ-ফিয়ার এবং স্বচ্ছতা থাকে তা নিশ্চিত করতে হবে। ডিজিটাইজেশন কমানো যাবে না, এটা সময় বাচায়, স্বচ্ছতা বাড়ায়, মিডেলম্যান কমায়।

তাহলে এখনকার মতো অনলাইন ছাড়াও মাঠে, ঘাটে, অফিসে আওয়াজ উঠাতে পারবেন।

For a long time, marketers, communicators, and visual artists strived to bring the dream closer to our reality with the help of creating artwork, large production sets, tech-driven VFX, and recently using AI to make closer-to-reality production.

Today I saw a commercial that was entirely built by AI, obviously with enough human touch to evoke our emotions.

But, I have a feeling, that, the more we are shifting toward adopting our dream life (conquering space, flying with a broomstick in our fantasy world, or driving a car in a Cyberpunk highway) with the help of tech & AI - we need to add a genuine human element to almost all of this - the real touch, feeling, sound, storytelling, and sensory movement is going to be rare yet so valuable.

For example, I have started to use tools like Quillbot or ChatGPT recently to make different versions of my writing, surely to fine-tune it, pick the best version, and save time. I also noticed that this practice is sometimes reducing my effort to critically "THINK". My brain is spending less time on "how to make it better" than spending more on "how to pick the better".

Naturally, I would work on my vocab, learning a new word to find the best way to articulate my thoughts with the writing if these tools were not there. But, now I am intertwined with these, as they are a cursor away in my browser extension.

I am not saying, that, I am not learning anything by using these tools. But, for the majority of the cases, we are all trying to get a faster output than learning while using this. This makes me think, is this the beginning of being a puppet of an unknown intelligence that gives us a lot, but also takes some bits from our creative world?

I still use pen and paper, which gives me immense joy.
