S4, Martin Sorrell’s new endeavor, continued its tear through the digital marketing world after it acquired Firewood, a digital marketing agency that ranked No. 42 on Adweek’s inaugural Fastest Growing Agency list, and merged it with another of its acquisitions, MediaMonks. It’s all part of Sorrell’s attempt to build a “better, faster, cheaper” advertising services company. Firewood is headquartered in Silicon Valley and has six additional offices around the globe. The 300-person agency specializes in creative, strategy and planning, performance media and technology services. It has worked with brands including Airbnb, Google, LinkedIn, Mercari and Waze.

There are a couple plant-based burger brands that tend to snag most of the spotlight, so, to get some time in the limelight, a plant-based competitor better deliver the goods with their ads. And Lightlife came to play with a two-minute spot featuring Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, the married celebrity couple who touts brutal honesty with their kids.

Read more: While Endeavor Global Marketing pitched the idea, Bell and Shepard ran with it (watch it here), riffing off real-life experiences (like the awkward sex talk in the ad) and adding their punchlines about vasectomies.

While some brands may only talk the talk when it comes to being a size-inclusive brand, Adidas is walking the walk. Putting its money where its mouth is, the athletic brand is partnering with inclusive-sizing pioneer Universal Standard to bring consumers a range of sizes—XXS-4XL. What’s interesting is that, instead of going for the sweaty athlete, Universal Standard is showcasing the more everyday uses women have for athletic wear.

Don’t wait until promotion time to advocate. Build a strong feedback loop with your manager, and make sure they always have a clear view of your road map and how you are progressing. Don’t be afraid to ask your manager what it takes to get to the next level and what you are missing in order to get there. Finally, build a network of advocates at your manager’s level that will promote your work. It all comes down to who is in your corner when they gather around the table to discuss promotions as a team.

My recommendation is always to focus on your accomplishments—make sure that you are providing your manager with regular updates on your progress and your achievements. Sometimes it feels awkward to “toot your own horn,” but, if your boss has a large team, you’ll want to support them in staying abreast of your accomplishments.
