First of 5 Netflix industry related shows: Social Dilemma

If you haven’t guessed, this one is about Social Media. It’s a documentary that has whistle-blowers at Facebook sharing information on data, manipulation and algorithms on the platform. If you want an insight into what goes on behind the screes, then grab the remote and switch this one on…

Fyre 

Fyre is a great example of how to not do marketing. It shows exactly what can go wrong when it comes to marketing and organising an event; this documentary tells the story of how a festival goes wrong when trying to market a Members Club and using an artist booking platform. It highlights how there needs to be transparency and communication between marketing companies and businesses. In the same way, it shows bad examples of influencer marketing and how consumers should do their research before listening to information online.  It’s a good watch, so definitely recommended!

Startup

This is a perfect series to watch about a tech startup company. It’s based on different characters that start up a company in Miami and come together; it’s a good insight into the industry. Season 3 has just come on Netflix and our Creative Director really recommends this one!

Billion dollar Code 

This show is to do with software and security. It’s about German hackers versus those for Google Maps, where there’s a dispute over the code and engine used to create what is now Google Maps. It’s a really interesting watch about the development world, and it’s a true story, but you’ll have to have a watch to find out more…

The Great Hack 

This one is also a true story and it’s based on Cambridge Analytica. It gets you thinking and throws in questions to ask yourself; all about data and social media manipulation to persuade a vote like the US elections. It triggers some forward thinking around ethical marketing as well. Do you fancy watching that one?
