Trending this week on The Feed, underconsumption-core encourages treasuring items over collecting them. Using makeup products until you hit the pan, drinking from a well-worn water bottle, donning a worn, old t-shirt as pyjamas – for many, these are everyday habits. Yet on TikTok, where users feel pressured to flaunt their shopping and consumption, actually *using what you have* is a rare sighting. Enter, underconsumption-core, a content genre wherein users celebrate using their favourite products until they’ve worn them out. To get the full insight, and learn more, make sure to follow The Feed - our editorially-led Instagram publication - which tracks culture at the speed of social to maximise impact for brands - link in comments

Italian just sounds better, doesn't it? Bellissimo, bravo, piano, la dolce vita… you know. That was the spark that ignited our latest campaign for Gruppo Montenegro, taking the brand on to the North American stage with “It Just Sounds Better”. We Are Social Spain crafted a fresh, premium visual world for this legendary liqueur, blending modern vibes with its rich Italian heritage. It's been an exciting journey, and we're raising a glass to the talented team, collaborators and client that helped bring the creative vision to life. Salute!
