You’re watching the V spot, your home for the ecomm nearly news. Shocking news in the last 24 hours. OpenAI have gone 24 hours without announcing a new partnership. Analysts are still baffled and Sam Altman says it has nothing to do with Elon becoming a trillionaire. More as it happens Let’s do the news.
Story 1. we ask why are there not more overweight partner managers. Always out enjoying great food and hearty cocktails. But still looking svelt and smiling. GLP-1?
If you’re a SaaS partner manager and you’re reading this, shame on you again it’s just after 4pm on Friday afternoon (GMT) you should be entertaining and explaining what subscriptions you have are influenced by your Aura or Whoop.
Story 2. We are on a mission to reminisce. Black Friday used to be equal parts fun and pressure. Now it is either. If you are a retailer or brand, chances are you already fired the starter pistol. Making a mockery of the whole damn thing. Black Friday should be taken off the shelf and retired and give the Friday after thanksgiving its rightful position of rest back. We are stating a campaign now #BFCMnomore.

Finally, marketing dive tell us Definition of ‘TV’ is expanding: Here’s what the numbers say
The definition of TV? In numbers? This feels like one of those riddles where there are 3 men in a car. 2 grandfathers and 2 kids. But there are only 3 people? Go figure.
We’re buzzing to keep rolling with our sponsor, Omnisend — the email platform that’s officially Vinny-Proof. No needless jargon, no alphabet soup of nonsense. Just one acronym that matters: ROI. Because merchants are making $68 for every $1 spent on email.I reached out to them for a partner meeting before being told f*ckoff, it is a month before Black Friday. This was politely followed up with a service rating email.
Thats the 6 minutes you are not getting back this week.
