THE SCOOP #11
11:44 AM
In this week’s edition, we take a look at Nike’s recently announced line of
inclusive activewear, as well as Net-a-Porter’s use of Whatsapp for
personalized client service. We’ll also travel to Austin, TX to check out SXSW
“lodging”. We get a taste of style-by-science with color-changing hair dye, and
explore Heinz’ new campaign courtesy of TV’s most celebrated ad man.

2 - Pass The Heinz

greenlighting of Don Draper’s “Pass The Heinz” campaign from “Mad Men”, 50

3 - The Science of Colorful
What does your hair say about you? With color-changing hair
dye that fluctuate based on body temperature (mood rings, anyone?) it’s about
to say a lot more. Read about it and see the change here.
4 - Whatsapp Meets Luxury
Net-a-Porter is taking full advantage of Whatsapp as a
digital channel and point of contact with consumers, utilizing the highly
personal nature of one-on-one texting to connect stylists with buyers. Read more here.
5 - Creative Lodging at SXSW

requirements, and found the amenities suitable. Read a full description of theaccommodations here.
