❤️ Marketing / Growth / Advertising ❤️

• Stories is going into your explore page and get used for them to take over 

• Google had their marketing live conference this week, watch back their sessions for free here

• Is the honest ad, really honest? (This time BrewDog is in the sights)

• Is this creativeness is too close to the mark? (Instagrammers will go to great lengths to please their fans and play the algorithm as much as possible, double edge sword for all creators) 

• KFC launches a spotify playlist with all the mentions of KFC (KFC have been on the cutting edge of marketing and PR recently and this shows the obvious isn’t always the best marketing campaigns)

💵 Business 💵

• Facebook is now struggling to hire top talent since Cambridge Analytica (And are losing people at record rate)

• AirBnB have hired former Apple and Burberry retail chief (this is another smart hire for AirBnB) 

• How someone took their Google interview task and turned into a successful company 

• What you need to know about the WhatsApp hack (Unfortunately the more popular these apps become the more likely we are not to hear about hacks and understand its real impact - also Facebook for a change were the ones who called this out as an issue..can leopards change their spots?)

• Another Internal Google email causes more issues at Google

Tweet of the week - When you have to win ⬇️

🚀 Product 🚀

• Deepdive into how Twitter is going to try and stop people shouting and arguing on their platform

• Tiktok is the most popular downloaded app for the last 5 quarters (although its become a safe heaven for Trump supporters)

• The real reason iPhone SMS are green and iMessage is blue

• Unfortunately a young lady took her own life after an instagram poll this week - how much responsibility is on the tools?

• Uber is going to launch driver (please) don’t talk to me button (Quiet mode is smart and will be leveraged by many for many reason)

＂Quote that resonated with me this week＂

🎧 Must Listen Of The Week 🎧

Speed matters is a great podcast with PayPal and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman

🤔 Final Thought 🤔

Netflix and farm is probably something you haven’t seen or experienced, however, Netflix has become essential for farmers - it’s funny how many people forget how some of these businesses have been changed by tech mostly for good, especially when you spend hours doing repetitive jobs.
