#Results: Hot Tech
If money was no object as it pertains to consumer tech, many American adults indicated that they would upgrade their phones and improve their home security, as per a survey by eMarketer.

#FGFStory: Bouncy Castle Cleans the Air and Gobbles CO2 While You Jump
A bouncy castle on display at COP26 in Glasgow can clean air by removing carbon dioxide and other pollution. It works thanks to algae inside the playground’s inflatable walls.
To demonstrate, children from a local primary school played on the bouncy castle. As the children jump, air is sucked into the walls of the playground where the algae inside absorbs carbon, releasing oxygen in its place.

#ProTips: Successful Content Marketing
To create a successful content marketing campaign, make sure you craft your message to appeal to your target audience. In a busy world that seems to speed up every day, potential customers are not going to waste their time with irrelevant or boring content. Here are six tips when creating content that will resonate with your target audience:
- Solve a problem
- Make sure it is long enough to rank high in search with keywords throughout (2000+ word content ranks best)
- Use data (research reports, surveys, etc.)
- Include visuals
- Repurpose the content for other uses (social, blogs, eblasts, infographics, etc.)
- Evaluate by paying attention to analytics
