TikTok Empowers Emerging Musicians, Nespresso's New Colourful Collab, & More

Here's the latest in culture, news, and updates from the world of social media. Carefully curated by the social superstars at Hey Honey.

Instagram Adds Multiple Audio Tracks Option to Reels

This one's for the social media managers! Instagram is introducing a feature that lets users add up to 20 audio tracks to a single Reel. It’s been a while since Instagram brought something fresh to Reels, and this original feature isn't borrowed from TikTok. This innovation could spark new trends and might soon be adopted by TikTok and YouTube. We think this is going to be adopted faster by content creators, however, excited to see how brands can use this feature in the future to provide a richer experience with Reels.

TikTok Partners with DistroKid to Empower Emerging Musicians

TikTok is turning up the volume on music discovery with a new partnership with DistroKid. This collaboration provides emerging musicians with tools to distribute their music directly on the app, aiming to amplify their reach and impact. By integrating these resources, TikTok is not only boosting its appeal to new artists but also opening up fresh opportunities for music promotion and audience engagement. For brands, this partnership represents a creative avenue for connecting with the next wave of musical talent.

Paris Olympics to Leave a Green Building Legacy

The Paris 2024 Olympics aims to set a new standard for sustainability with its innovative green buildings. The Olympic Village features eco-friendly materials like low-carbon concrete and wood, geothermal cooling systems, and solar panels. Post-Games, these structures will transform into zero-carbon housing, showcasing how large events can drive sustainable urban development. For brands, there will be many lessons on integrating eco-friendly practices into big projects. Could this prove that sustainability can be both practical and visionary?
