Ah, , Salaam and good morning to you worthy friend.
Please, please, come closer —
We know everyone’s busy, and none busier than you. So here’s a quick dive into the things that inspired, fascinated, enthralled and puzzled us the last couple of months that we thought might interest you.
- Disney+
- Melbourne Bitter
- HILDA Report
- Apple
- Adobe
- Gilette
- Popeyes
Over the weekend Disney opened up the cave of wonders that is their massive back catalogue at the D23 conference and finally let us in on the Disney+Platform launching in November. Straight out of the box it’s packed with more than 7500 television episodes (including The Simpsons), 500 movies (Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars) and more than 45 original series (New Lizzie McGuire, huh?). Stan is shook. Netflix is looking over its shoulder.

We frothed over last years VB capsule collection, the Melbourne Bitterdrop and lapped up the Farmers Union range – but the move into beverage extensions with VB Tea seemed a step too far.

The latest HILDA report was released and it doesn’t look great. The Conversation dug into data and finds Aussie disposable incomes are lower than during the GFC.

Apple takes a swipe at ad tracking with its upcoming OS.

Adobe finds 81% of emoji users believe that people who use emojis are friendlier and more approachable and 64% of emoji users are willing to make a purchase with an emoji. ??

Youth Sense digs into the best and worst places to grab the attention of Gen Z.

Ad standards launched a new campaign to shine a light on the sexism, racism and other issues in ad land.

The Australian arm of Gillette moves away from the ‘The best a man can be’ campaign out of the US, and instead focuses in on local heroes in a very serious brand new spot.

Popeyes sells out of chicken sandwiches following The Twitter Sandwich-apocalypse, putting its newfound popularity at risk. The chain burned through two months of inventory in 2 weeks!
Extra, extra!
