Welcome to this week’s top social media stories. No major platform announcements this week, but we had a lot to talk about: OOO emails, Instagram was hacked, Facebook fundraisers have been a blazing success and Greenpeace had one of its most successful digital campaigns yet.
We always talk about social media and the future of marketing. Yet, we often forget to talk about the power of email marketing. This week we even discovered a new marketing opportunity: OOO emails, thanks to Ryan Reynolds and Aviation Gin.
But this week was also a celebration of creativity for a cause. Greenpeace had one of its biggest digital success so far, with the story of Rang-Tan. Watch it, I can guarantee you will not be the same after. And you may finally get over your Nutella addiction too.
