This week, social media had a rollicking time! We trace Unilever’s pledge to a #BrightFuture with a touching ad on the demise of rainforests. On top of this, we bring you the best of brand Tweets, and a round up of only the best Twitter content from Social Media Week London. Stay tuned for all these Twitter Trends, and more.
Unilever takes action against climate change
Unilever is on a mission to create a #BrightFuture for the next generation. The global giant is working with WWF to help protect one million trees in two of the most threatened forest areas in the world, Brazil and Indonesia.
Unilever has released a new ad to drive home the message that trees are dying in our rainforests, and it’s time we do something.
The ad shows one lonesome tree from the rainforest running to the city for a better life. Sadly, the message couldn’t be more ironic.
