August 5, 2016, 11:29 AM EDT Link >> here Check out these seven digital marketing stats that caught our eye during the last few days.
1. Brands on bots After offering chatbots for only a few months, Kik said on Thursday that its app has already facilitated nearly 2 billion messages with brands, entertainment companies and publishers on the platform. Between 60 and 70 brands have gone through Kik's vetting process to enter its Bot Shop.
2. Social cosmos Troy Young, president of Hearst Magazines Digital Media, told The Wall Street Journal that Cosmopolitan's Snapchat Discover channel has been accumulating roughly 6 million viewers every day, and that viewers are averaging between six and seven minutes with the content.
3. The video era cometh Industry experts predict that as much as 80 percent of total internet traffic will be video-based by 2020, but mastering this brave new world is no small task. For instance, the top challenge to online video spend is return-on-investment compared to other media, according to 41 percent of the marketers surveyed in L2's report this week.
4. Digital ads dynamo Facebook now has 3 million active advertisers, the company reported, and more than 70 percent of the brands are located outside of the United States. The company said its fastest growing region is Southeast Asia. The revelation came on the heels of Facebook stating last week that it raked in $6.24 billion in ad sales during the second quarter.
5. Big bucks for Hulu If you don't believe in the power of online video, Time Warner certainly does. It just acquired a 10 percent stake in video streaming service Hulu for $583 million.
6. The Donald's brand falleth The Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City will be closing its doors in September due to labor strikes, we learned earlier this week. Well, Foursquare's data gives a behind-the-scenes peek into more of the story, showing that visits to the troubled hotel and its sister brands, Trump SoHo and Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago, fell between 17 percent and 24 percent this past year compared to the 12 months before. All things Donald Trump, including his GOP candidacy to be president, seem to have had a rough week.
7. This Pie guy is good Speaking of politics, humor centering on the subject—when combined with social media—can launch a career. Just ask Tom Walker, a British satirist whose page has garnered more than 50 million video views since last September on Facebook alone with its Jonathan Pie character.
Basic human rights? Say what you think and report what you see Adweek has this to say: "Speaking of politics, humor centering on the subject—when combined with social media—can launch a career. Just ask Tom Walker, a British satirist whose page has garnered more than 50 million video views since last September on Facebook alone with its Jonathan Pie "character.

Whatever happened to that illusion of Hope & Change?
Future SHOCK is now here if you just open your eyes.
Capitalistic democracy is morphing into a Neo-Feudal Serfdom where 62 people control the wealth of world economies in uncertain forces of creation and destruction.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are more likely pipe dreams easily extinguished in the over-heated fog of smoke-and-mirrors gamesmanship of politics, proxy wars and roiling roller-coaster market data on a zigzag downward slope uncertain in its outcomes. The only certain thing is more uncertainty to create new visions and pathways into a brave new world by anyone of any age.
Young people very well may lead the country in entrepreneurship, as a mentality. But when it comes to the more falsifiable measure of entrepreneurship as an activity, older generations are doing most of the work. The average age for a successful startup-founder is about 40 years old, according to the Kauffman Foundation, a think tank focused on education and entrepreneurship. (In their words, one’s 40s are the “peak age for business formation.”) The reality is that the typical American entrepreneur isn’t that hover-boarding kid in a hoodie; it’s his mom or dad. In fact, the only age group with rising entrepreneurial activity in the last two decades is people between 55 and 65.
The Myth of the Millennial Entrepreneur
The generation cheered for its start-up mentality is actually starting companies at the lowest rate in 25 years. Why?
Derek Thompson
That’s a problem, because an economy dominated by older firms tends to be less efficient. Companies that are 10 or more years old now account for nearly half of all firms and employ more than 80 percent of workers; both of those figures are up more than 10 percentage points since 1990. The growth of these industrial giants has squeezed out smaller competitors. Even in tech, the sector synonymous with innovation, the frontier is closing. Facebook owns four of the five most downloaded apps—Whatsapp, Messenger, Facebook, and Instagram. It tried to buy the other, Snapchat. All of the 20 most downloaded apps, including Uber, Spotify, and Pinterest, were founded since 2012, according to Nomura research. The media portrayal of young people casting off the shackles of employment to start their own companies is, for now, anillusion.
