So, when we come across Plann’rs who have dedicated their lives to cooking, shooting and writing about food, we just can’t help but fall in love with them.

But with more than half of Irish and UK consumers saying they’ve increased their social usage in the past six months, the widespread popularity of social creates a unique challenge for brands. The over-saturated social landscape makes it difficult for brands to capture their audience’s attention, stand out from their competitors and grow their share of voice. For Ireland and UK-based marketers trying to engage with their target audience, an effective social strategy calls for putting customer preferences at the center of their social strategy....

When we needed a wholesome, humorous, and clever CW drama to binge-watch, Hart of Dixie was there for us. When we went through a breakup, needed a break from studying for finals, or just had a bad day, Hart of Dixie was always on repeat. And lastly, when we needed any comfort at all… That’s right, Hart of Dixie was there for us.

When the J.J. Abrams-helmed Star Wars Episode IX is released later this year, the Skywalker saga we’ve been following since 1977 will finally come to a close.

We’ve been promised a couple of unrelated trilogies, but they’re still in the very early stages of being put together....

The Witcher is such an iconic series by this point that it will take a lot of effort if Netflix is to keep the already sizeable audience the series boasts....

Although the new 9.7 inch iPad Pro is superior to the 2015 12 inch iteration in some regards, including better cameras and display, it appears the raw processor is not as identical as Apple implied in its presentation. Although both models have an A9X processor, the 9.7 inch version actually has half the RAM and a slightly-lower clock speed CPU (via @panzer). Whilst the big iPad Pro has 4 GB RAM, the 9....

Yet every once in a while, rom-coms come out with a hit that viewers actually relate to and couples whose relationships fans can reflect onto their own love lives. It’s always refreshing to see more relatable depictions of modern couples via the big screen....
