Visual Content
Today’s marketing environment is a visual one. Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but video content is increasingly dominating the digital sphere. By 2018, 89% of internet traffic will be video. Statistics and strategic moves from social platforms indicate why this prediction seems plausible:

  • Within the last year, Facebook users went from watching 1 billion videos every day to more than 8 billion.
  • Twitter, which acquired Periscope in March 2015, now autoplays their live streaming videos within feeds.
  • Spotify is introducing video content to its Android app starting May 2016.

Uber

“There’s not a minute to waste.” Uber is well aware of this concept, and has made quite the name for itself by taking advantage of that. How Uber manages to stay on top of its competition, however, is a constant struggle. Uber steadily tries to beat out neighboring competition like Lyft, taxi companies, and other alternative modes of transportation to keep their name on top. The solution? Customization.

The well-known Ride Request feature that we’re already familiar with just got much more personalized. Passengers can now stay updated with news and updates all with the convenience of Uber’s new service called “Uber Trip Experiences”, which delivers playlists, local news, and travel tips all to the palm of your hands. Although third party experts will control the flow of content, each ride’s personalization comes from Uber. “The time the content takes to consume will be synchronized with the estimated duration of the journey.”

David Bowie

When news broke last week of rock icon David Bowie succumbing to liver cancer at the age of 69, the Internet reacted quickly. Within 12 hours of the news, the hashtag #Bowie generated over a million tweets globally, and “35 million people had 100 million interactions about the singer on Facebook.” Perhaps the most relevant and intriguing statistics after any musician’s death in this digital age come from online music services like Apple Music and Spotify.

Oni

A parched California may be getting some much needed relief this coming winter. Scientists and climate experts are now certain that an El Niño rivaling that of the infamous 1997-98 El Niño should arrive in just over a month. For most of us here on the West Coast of the USA we think of El Niño as just a surge in the amount of rain that falls throughout the winter months since that is the only effect we tend to notice. However, an El Niño is actually defined by the changing of normal wind and ocean currents in the Pacific which results in a major warming of Pacific waters and significant weather patterns on a global scale.

Today, Apple CEO Tim Cook made some pretty lofty claims about Apple’s next generation of products.

“While they may look familiar, we have changed everything about these new iPhones”

Apple unveiled the next line of its products today at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, and (as expected) they appear to be stepping up their game. As usual, two new iPhones were announced, but it was the new iPad and revamped Apple TV that stole the show.

Foodbank

“EVERY DAY WE ARE WORKING TO MOVE PEOPLE FROM HUNGER INTO HEALTH. NOT ONLY FEEDING BUT TEACHING HOW TO FISH.”

Earlier this summer, the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County launched its month long campaign, End Summer Hunger. Its goal was to raise $50,000 for the Picnic in the Park program, which is “a country-wide program that provides children under 18 with free, nutritious meals when school is not in session, regardless of their parents’ income.” Surpassing its goal, the Foodbank reached an outstanding $75,000 for the Picnic in the Park program, able to provide over 23,000 lunches to children throughout the month of August.
