OMD FWD w/c 5th March

Hello and welcome to your weekly FWD. This week, you can find what you may have missed from Mobile World Congress 2018, including a plan to launch 4G on the moon and the promise of a faster future with 5G. Believe it or not though, MWC is about more than just phones – check out these five emerging technologies from the conference!

In celebration of the Oscars on Sunday, Twitter shared the Best Picture nominees told through the emojis that are most used in tweets about them. During the ceremony, Twitter also launched their #HereWeAre campaign vowing to do more for women.

Next up is SXSW! Stay tuned for more updates on the OMD Worldwide and EMEA social channels…

OMD FWD w/c Nov 14th

Unusual things are happening this week, from people freezing for the mannequin challenge and UFO emoji’s, to futuristic vending machines appearing in towns to sell spectacles (but after the result of the recent US election, we should be prepared to no longer be surprised). If you are lucky enough to be strolling down the road and catch sight of one of these unusual-looking vending machines, you could be forgiven for thinking that you have walked onto the set of Despicable Me 3, but draw a little closer and you discover that this vending machine is in fact a very cool bit of tech. Left unattended the machine is just “sleeping”, but motion sensors wake it up as you approach. You are met by a big digital eye that interacts with you…it’s not a Minion, it’s a vending machine and it wants to sell you a device for $130 – The Snapchat Spectacle. Whether this new product will become more popular than the Google Glass is still to be decided; however, there are certainly some interesting opportunities for brands wanting to reach an audience of Snapchat loving millennials.
