Ep. 124 - SOCIAL IN SIX [027]

It’s the first Social in Six of 2021 and already there’s a lot to talk about. This week we cover two telling tests from Instagram: removing the ability to share feed posts to Stories and the possibility of a vertical video feed for Stories. We discuss Twitter’s acquisition of newsletter service Revue and the platform’s plans to integrate it into its own upcoming newsletter feature. We also explain the new ASA guidelines that penalise using beauty filters in advertising. And finally we reveal the user uptake in Snapchat Spotlight - the platform’s answer to TikTok.
