LinkedIn have launched new video advertising tools, rhode beauty was sold to e.l.f. cosmetics, and the latest Algowatch is here.

Taylor Swift finally bought her masters, which was a great win for me because it meant I can listen to her first six albums guilt-free. There's also a valuable lesson in brand ownership to be learnt, which you can read all about on our website.

✨ Campaign of the week: Oreo x Selena Gomez

This week, Oreo teamed up with Selena Gomez to launch a very personal limited edition cookie flavour.

The cookie was inspired by her childhood love for horchata, a traditional Mexican drink.

On top of that, she designed each of the 6 cookie patterns herself, including one that spells out Selenators.

It's not just an influencer collab, it's a social win too. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Rare Impact Fund, Selena's own mental health charity.

💭 Thursday thoughts

Most of us spend our lives surrounded by trees and plants that we can't even name. It made me realise that I walk past this tree almost every day and I still don't know what it's called (if you'd like to LinkedIn message me and let me know, I'd be eternally grateful).

So, consider this your daily reminder to stop and appreciate the world around you.
