Grønn TorsdagNår det ble greit å gi faen – hva skjer med de liberale verdiene våre?I denne episoden av Grønn Torsdag tar vi for oss hvordan ytringsfrihet, respekt og rettigheter – grunnpilarene i et liberalt demokrati – er under press. Hva skjer når anstendighet blir sett på som svakhet, og når minoriteter må tåle stadig mer hets i offentligheten?
Sammen med Omar Orhan Akhtar (FRI) og Lars Kaupang (Arctic Pride) diskuterer vi hvordan ytringsrommet er blitt skjevere, hvordan humor brukes som skjold for hat, og hvordan transpersoner har blitt syndebukker i kulturkampen.

Tech Marketing RewiredWhy Cutting Brand Is Costing You More Than You Think with Omar Akhtar of BenchmarkerWant to know the real secret behind high-growth SaaS companies? It's not what most marketers think.When Omar Akhtar, founder of Benchmarker, surveyed 250+ B2B SaaS companies about their marketing spending patterns, he discovered something counterintuitive: the highest-performing companies split their marketing budgets almost equally between brand and demand generation activities (48% brand, 52% demand). Meanwhile, underperforming organizations were dramatically overinvesting in demand gen (65-70%) while neglecting brand (30-35%).This revelation challenges the prevailing wisdom in tech marketing, where demand generation frequently dominates budget conversations and brand activities are often seen as "nice to have" luxuries. As...

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rayrike_b2bsaas-benchmarks-activity-7232404615386836992-HlA2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

There are many different aspects of marketing so it can be extremely difficult to know what to prioritize. Benchmarks shouldn't be your sole or even primary guide, but if one of your company’s metrics is si...

Dispatches with Hollie McKayDispatches from Afghanistan: Chasing the Supreme Leader and Visiting the Taliban birthplace, to the Freeze on Girls’ Education, Pakistan Tensions and Smuggling Routes“Surely, of all the wonders of the world, the horizon is the greatest.”– Freya Stark, explorerPerhaps one of the strangest realities since the Taliban takeover last month is that, unlike in years past where travel outside of Kabul was typically wrought with immense danger and often unthinkable, the whole country has seemingly opened up. The once unpaved roads ripe for kidnapping are open – albeit a danger in and of themselves – and yet I am able to traverse through the ancient ruins of Ghazni, the Taliban strongholds of Logar, the poppy fields of Helmand, and we even vi...

Ojo geopolítico- Geopolítica y geoestrategia-De por qué los talibanes vinieron para quedarse según the Wali of Khurasan Shaykh Hafidh Said Khan (hafidhahullah)D?biq: Does the nationalist Taliban movement continue to allow farmers to sell opium? How is the Wil?yah dealing with this serious phenomenon?
The W?l?: There’s no doubt that the nationalist Taliban movement has permitted farmers and merchants to grow and sell opium. Rather, the matter has reached the point that the movement itself harvests opium, and even worse than that is that the Taliban themselves transport opium and heroin in their personal vehicles, charging a fee to the sellers and the addicts! They also take a 10% cut as well as taxes from them. Akhtar Mansour himself is...
