One downside of the cetrificate course, she says, was that it never mentioned Snapchat or Instagram even though those are the most popular platforms among digital natives.

Summary | Starbucks is cashing in on the 'unicorn food' trend - a trend to make all food colorful. The trend was likely sparked from a Florida-based Instagrammer who has now acquired a huge following. She noticed that her hobby had become a trend when people would copy her creations and Instagram them with the fitting hashtag. Now Starbucks has caught on the trend and they are offering a unicorm frappucino for five days only.

Summary | Instagram has become the second most active social media platform after Facebook so it is a great place for companies to advertize their product - or rather their brand. Instagram is all about visual storytelling so it is a prime platform to develop one's brand by presenting a certain look or attitude. Instagram offers various visual formats - from image posts over stories like on Snapchat to videos and livestreams. It is important to be thorough when choosing hashtags as these determine who will find the post. Many hashtags are ambiguous so one really has to be in the know to skillfully ascribe hashtags.

Summary | Advertisers are increasingly pouring their budgets into social media instead of trasitional media. Instagram has developed into an important platform for creating trends through 'influencers' - Instagram personalities with large followings. They are paid money and given products for free to promote the brand and most often this content is not explicitly labeled as advertising.

Summary | A new breed of celebrities has emerged: social media celebrities or 'influencers' as they are called in marketing. These ordinary youths have millions of followers on Instagram, Snapchat, Musical.ly, or YouTube and are attractive to advertisers, not only because of their large following but because their fans feel personally close to them and are more likely to accept advice from them than from a distant celebrity. It is however still illegal to covertly advertise a product without notifying viewers that they are viewing sponsored content.
