From original Snapchat sex education shows to social media hitchhiking art projects, the top June 2016 social media ideas showcase the digital spaces in which brands are successfully interacting with consumers.
MTV recently announced it will be bringing a new lineup of shows to the Snapchat platform, including a revival of the late 2000's hit series 'Cribs' and new programming, such as 'Pants Off,' an sex education series hosted by YouTube star and public sex educator Laci Green.
As eSports become a mainstream media presence, brands like Activision Blizzard are turning to social media platforms to gather fans in one place. Activision Blizzard in particular recently announced it will be livestreaming its eSports events on the Facebook Video platform.
