📌 What We Saved

Who doesn’t love a good phone hack? 🤓📲 Look, we might be late to the game with this one, but this week our team learned that you can adjusts the settings on your iPhone so that a simple double tap on the Apple logo at the back of your phone can do anything from taking a screenshot to starting Shazam 🤯💥😱🌋

📮 What We Shared

Lots of talk about x’s last week. 😗 Mainly Twitters rebrand to “X.” If you’re in marketing, people have probably asked you what you think about it all, and honestly, you’re probably a little over it. So much has happened in the Twitter-verse lately that it all feels like a blur. 

This article from Mumbrella, pins the chaos down to branding. 💅 Like everything, if you don’t understand the brand, your marketing isn’t going to work. In this instance however, the article poses that this is all on-brand-  just for Musk and not Twitter itself, and it may result in something cool eventually? 🥴

Have a read so you finally have a response for Management when they ask you about it. 🤭

That’s a wrap for this week’s email! We hope this week is good to y’all. 🖤
