You’ve got to be pretty pissed off to spend $1,000 on a Promoted Tweet just because an airline lost your bags for a couple of days. But that’s exactly what Husan Syed did when British Airways lost his father’s bags on a recent flight.

Syed went on a Twitter rant earlier this week after the airline lost his father’s bags. In addition, Syed purchased promoted tweets to the tune of $1,000.

But, late yesterday, as promised, Syed revealed his spend of $1,000 and metrics which show the spend garnered 76,800 impressions and 14,600 engagements.

One of his tweets, “I Can Haz My Baggage,” garnered 45 retweets and 37 replies with an engagement rate of 18.7%

Here he reveals the performance of his top tweets;

His efforts landed him an interview on CNN. Not bad for $1,000.

I asked three people I trusted at 66 to tell me honestly what I did that made conversations with me feel harder than they should, and the answers were specific and consistent and deeply uncomfortable and I spent about a month being defensive about them before I understood that the discomfort I felt receiving honest feedback was itself one of the things on the list

The worry that you’ve left something at home is almost never about the thing. It’s about a mind that was trained to believe safety requires perfect attendance, that relaxation is just the space between mistakes, and that the moment you stop checking is the moment everything you’ve been holding together quietly comes undone
