Let's get that DoubleClick episode out! Gotta hear that story. Interesting that y'all went with absolute dollar amount! Did not think that Instagram would have made that sort of money!

This is so good!

The "Dark Horse" in spot two is quite the outlier

As for number 1, I think they got the GOAT right. IG has proven to be a ridiculously good acquisition…not just in economic value, but also in how quickly the platform grew, given the team size of 13 when it was acquired

Still not sure about Marvel making the list over Pixar, I get the numbers, but there is something intangible that feels like it is getting overlooked.
