This week Cristiano Ronaldo produced a masterpiece with his goal for Real Madrid against Juventus. The stunning strike managed to become the most talked about topic on social media and gave both Real Madrid and the Champions League a chance to post something special. Within moments of the goal, both accounts were able to break the million likes barrier on Instagram simply with an image of Ronaldo making contact with the ball. This shows not only how much of a hold these pages have on these platforms but also how a special sporting moment can provide organisations with an opportunity to benefit significantly.

Snapchat hasn’t been having a good run of it as of late but this week the organisations announced a new feature which they hope will provide a better user in-app experience, a group video chat for up to 16 people. Using the video icon in a group chat, users can now chat with their friends, utilize Snapchat’s lenses, and send text messages all whilst speaking to each other. On its blog, the social platform explained: “We designed Chat to feel less like texting and more like hanging out. That’s why when a friend opens Chat, their Bitmoji pops up to say “I’m here!” – and why your Chat conversations aren’t saved forever, by default.”
