Greetings !

In this week's newsletter, I'm trying something new by highlighting some of our editorial team's favorite and coolest examples of innovation on the site. Here are the team's must-see items of the week:

Marketing: Suave Professionals launched a clever ad campaign to prove to brand-conscious millennials that great shampoo doesn't have to be expensive.

Beverage: Starbucks' new Unicorn Frappuccino features a blend of sweet pink powder and sour blue syrup.

Retail: The new Dr. Martens flagship is an interactive space that features a stage, a GIF photo booth and a customization station.

Tech: Google has created a new job search application called 'Hire' that makes the hiring process easier for job applicants and recruiters.

Tech/Finance: MasterCard is testing out biometric bankcards with embedded fingerprint readers.

Enjoy!
