Introducing ClubHouse, Is This The Next Big Social Network?
Part talkback radio, part phone conversation, part Houseparty, Clubhouse is an audio-chat-based social networking app.
Users can listen to discussions, interviews and debates between fascinating people on a range of subjects – it's almost like listening to a podcast, except live and with an additional element of exclusivity.
The clubhouse is invite-only. You can't just download it from the app store and create an account, and you've got to be invited to join the current participant. When you register, you could pick topics of interest, such as technology, books, business or health. The more information you provide the app about your preferences, the more chat rooms and individuals the app will recommend to follow or join.

TikTok: Disrupting The Social Media World
There is no doubt that TikTok is probably the hottest social networking app at the moment. Out of the 2020 ashes, a new form of social media opened the way for internet culture, education, and activism.
TikTok is a video-based social media app of unusual integrity and growing cultural impact, which demonstrates a rare potential for meaningful social change by transforming social media space. The app has been downloaded more than 1 billion times worldwide, stood on top of the "most downloaded iOS app" list for five consecutive quarters, and became a window into modern youth culture. It has proved to be more than a fad or a fluke, and its continuing success shows a few fascinating things about how social media is evolving: meme-driven, highly customised and personalised algorithms, and free from real-life connections.

It's Time to Embrace E-commerce
To say that e-commerce presents business with an opportunity to increase sales and reach new customers is an understatement, especially now.
2020 has thrown a lot at every business in almost every industry, sometimes for the better, but unfortunately for most, the worst.
Europe is re-entering lockdowns steadily, and we know business owners and staff are feeling the pressure. We want to assure you that despite unavoidable long-term changes, it is not too late to adapt. In fact, Statista predicts that e-commerce revenue will surpass $638 Billion in America by 2022 alone!

Is Social Commerce the next big shift in Marketing?
The third quarter is usually retailers’ golden-hour; record profits, footfall and e-commerce sales have become the expected norm. 2020 marks a historic change.
Whilst we don’t want to start this off negatively, certain realities are hitting the commerce world. Footfall is down, spending is down year over year, and with so many people already out of work with a second wave coming, it doesn’t look like this Christmas is going to be anything like normal.

When it comes to building your e-commerce store, you are going to be inundated with websites claiming they are the best possible option.

Planning your business for a better future
It’s time to think about your brand differently, for a better future.
We are all well aware of the changes our current circumstances are going to have on us in the near future, but what about the long term? If you own a brand, it’s time to think about how the world is going to change. Take into consideration the possibility of on-and-off again lockdowns (potentially through 2024, if the world's largest vaccine producer is right). We need to create a vision for the future.

5 Ways How to Build a Strong Brand
Nike, Apple, Gymshark, Cadburys. For better or worse, these are the brands we hear about or acknowledge through advertising on a daily bases, but why?
The recent headlines declaring Gymshark becoming a billion dollar company, or Apple becoming a 2 Trillion dollar company didn’t happen by accident. Even with a financial downturn like never before, and a global pandemic, these companies haven’t felt the strain like others. These brands fall into the ‘Luxury’ brand category; each one has built an ethos around their products that isn’t easy to forget or turn away from, they make you believe that their products are better. Whether you love or hate Apple, you know that the quailty of the product is unmatched and the aftercare is second-to-none, their marketing tells you.

How do you welcome new team member while working remotely
We all know what’s it’s like to start a new job. Anxiety, excitement, and that feeling of being slightly lost. One of the many challenges we have faced as we pivoted to a remote working environment is how do we take care of a new member of staff.
Usually, we would be with them in the same office, walking them through how the company works, socialising with other members of the team, and just making sure they feel as conformable as possible. All of this isn’t as easy when you are depending on Slack to deliver all this information.
Well, we want to pass on a few ways we have found that get new team members onboard and interacting with the team!
