How much time do you spend on social media on a daily basis checking the news, watching short videos, consuming bits of entertainment or getting distracted by memes?

More than 2 billion people around the world are using social media, which means that every company willing to have a loyal customer base and expand their reach needs to think of content to be produced and shared on social channels (#mobilefirst).

From entertainment videos and news posts to be shared on Instagram, to platforms to enhance the marketing with and for influencers: take a look at the innovative tools and formats from NMA portfolio startups going social.

Soap Opera is back — with a millennial twist.

Hashtag Daily is the first German soap opera airing exclusively in social media platforms Instagram and TikTok. Within 5-minute episodes, the series shot in vertical format stars a cast of influencers and actors who gather over 1.8 Million followers and an increasing audience. Grab your phone and start binge-watching here.
