NOEL GALLAGHER | CHICKEN SHOP DATE: THE FINAL SERIES
@AmeliaDimoldenberg
This week, it had to be Chicken Shop Date! Amelia meets Oasis legend Noel Gallagher for one of her final dates in the chicken shop, as the iconic spoof dating series comes to an end.
Over the years, Amelia has sat down with some of the biggest names in showbiz, and part of the show's magic is seeing these seemingly untouchable celebrities in an intimate, off-the-cuff setting. We love the awkward silences, unexpected revelations and seeing a different side to the stars we think we know.
With well over a million views and counting, the final instalment is proving just as popular as ever and it's a format that will be hugely missed.
The marketing takeaway? People are fascinated by people. Give your audience a glimpse behind the polished exterior, let personalities shine and create content that feels genuine, unexpected and a little bit different. Sometimes, it's the unscripted moments that make the biggest impact.

Eat Everything In A Grocery Store, Win $1,000,000
@MrBeast
Released on the 3rd October this video has already reached over 150 million views in just a few days! Impressive. We've selected it as our trending video of the week as it’s a great example of what makes YouTube content so compelling…
Taking a simple concept and turning it into a curiosity gap that gives viewers a reason to keep watch. The premise is incredibly simple (eat everything and win money) but, how far will they get? Will they succeed? The curiosity keeps us invested and drives that all important retention.

Don’t Look Back In Anger Official Trailer
@DisneyUK @oasisinetofficial
Oasis have successfully turned their comeback tour into more than just a series of gigs, but, a cultural moment. Continuing to monetise the hype long after the tickets have sold. From the reunion itself to the merchandise, tour coverage and now a documentary, the Gallagher brothers have given us plenty of reasons to keep talking, watching and ultimately, spending. The most interesting part? We’re still eating it up!
It’s a brilliant example of the power of nostalgia, scarcity and cultural relevance in marketing, because when you’ve built a community that people feel emotionally connected to, the audience doesn’t just buy the product. They buy into the story.

A Message from the Family of Dolly Parton
@DollyParton
Sometimes, someone special can make the whole world stop. Yesterday, news was shared that Dolly Parton had died peacefully in Nashville at the age of 80.
Her nephew Bryan’s emotional tribute has had nearly 2 million views and over 17,000 comments in less than 24 hours. Speaking candidly about his Aunt, he captured not just a global icon, but the woman his family knew and loved. And maybe that’s what makes Dolly’s legacy so special…
You didn't just know the name Dolly Parton you knew exactly what Dolly stood for. Warmth, joy, kindness, humour, generosity and of course sparkle. Her music will live on. Her philanthropy will continue to change lives. But, so will the feeling she created in people. And perhaps that’s the most powerful thing any person or business can hope to leave behind.

Is Erling Haaland Having The Best Summer Ever?
@erling
With more than 4 million subscribers on YouTube, iconic footballer Erling Haaland is becoming almost as well known for his social media presence as he is for his skills on the pitch.
In this week’s trending video, Erling sets sail for a well-deserved holiday following the World Cup. With more than 2 million views, it’s easy to see why his content continues to capture attention far beyond the football fanbase.
His colourful personality, larger-than-life lifestyle and playful approach to social media give fans a glimpse into a side of the footballer they don’t always see on the pitch. It’s this mix of personality, entertainment and authenticity that keeps both football and non-football fans coming back for more.
