Gruvi Weekly Digest #17 — A weekly catch up on what we found interesting at Gruvi.

Lots of things happening over the past week or so in the world of tech and entertainment. As expected, YouTube Red is creating some waves in the platform’s community, both on the creators and on the users side. The US is in the (painstaking) process of electing a new president and ads have a word to say in that. Uber has a new logo and everybody has an opinion about it. And Leo’s due for an Oscar and he’s counting on you to get him one. We’ve also got a guest joining the news today- one of our social media wizard collaborators brought forward a great read on the digital marketing for Deadpool.
