Nissan asks athletes to #DoItForUs
How do you promote a car manufacturer in a clever way to the Olympic and Paralympic games? I must admit, when we saw this trending we thought #FAIL, but watching Nissan’s video I have to say this is a definite #WIN. They tackle this question head on with some very tongue-in-cheek humour whilst pranking Team GB.
Well played, Nissan.

Digital Detox
There’s certainly some irony in the fact that #DigitalDetox was trending online this week.
Ofcom reported that, on average, Britons spend over 24 hours per week online (*guilty*) and that a third have attempted a ‘digital detox’ to their internet addiction – but only 25% of those barely lasting a day away from their screens. And the fact that we are reading about this online indicates we aren’t showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon.

This week photo-sharing app, Instagram introduced a new feature that is pretty much identical to Snapchat…

People were quick to pick up on this, and Twitter was inundated with hilarious memes…

… #Awkward. At the moment the only difference seems to be that Instagram Stories doesn’t the filter feature that Snapchat does, but it is only a matter of time. Want to know more about it? Read our blog on it here.
