šŸ†˜ WTF do we do now?

Faceappgram down - where do we waste our time now?

This week has been another busy one for everyone, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp going down alongside Twitter DMā€™s - the world got a glimpse of 15 years ago. Wimbledon started this week and here are three good reads, Wimbledonā€™s marketing strategy, Snapchatā€™s released a brand new game to celebrate, the powerful Petra Kvitova come back story.

šŸŽ§ Must Listen Of The Week šŸŽ§

Iā€™ve taken a punt on audible so Iā€™ve been in listening to books mode, so podcasts have taken a backseat this week, I do however have a couple of recommendations for podcasts which iā€™ll binge on this weekend, Recommendations: Courier magazine workshop is fascinating from inside the business world. Inside intercom is a front line look at product and product development. Lastly, if you are into talented DJā€™s and multi genre mixes check out DJ City podcast.

šŸ¤”Final Thought šŸ¤”

There are many moments now where brands mess ups and missteps are forgotten about, Samsungā€™s catching fire, Pepsi and that Jenner Pepsi Max ad and most recently both adidas (with my team Arsenal) and Nike have made mistakes. Mistakes happen, we are human after all. Another company Superhuman (*the* pay for email client of the moment) turned on email tracking as standard (read receipts are normal in instant messenger and in corporate emails so surprising this got as much attention) and had to reverse their decisions after much uproar, they did receive incredible funding recently. Question to ponder: Is it the constant news cycle that would have made huge impact previously or the filter bubbles we live in or is it press and PR goes hand in hand in crafting and creating brand moment and controlling messages? Seems to me recently, brands are given many chances or it is forgotten about more quickly? Answers on a postcard or a tweet.
