PUSHING THE 
BOUNDARIES 
“Social media give cosmopolitan young Muslim 
women an opportunity to own a piece of online 
fashion space, typically reserved for those who 
expose more skin or wear body-hugging clothes.” 
— Ms. Elturk, Hijab Fashionista,, tries to limit 
the number of selfies she posts to keep her 
ego in check
Y&R SEPTEMBER 2014

1M+ FANS IN 1 YEAR 
#1 New York Times Best Seller

FUSS-FREE 
“Uber launches taxi app in Singapore” 
It has launched in 10 cities in India in less than a year, 
making it Uber's second biggest market after the U.S. 
“Germany Lifts Its Uber Ban.. its troubles in 
Germany’s courts don’t seem to be curbing demand 
for its rides on German streets. The country is one 
of Uber’s fastest-growing markets in Europe,..”

“I’M NOT CATHOLIC, BUT MAN DO I LOVE 
THIS POPE!” 
— BUZZFEED, THE BEST POPE FRANCIS MOMENTS OF 2013 
“NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE POPE 
ARE VIRTUALLY NOWHERE…I’VE NEVER 
SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT…THAT’S JUST NOT 
THE WAY THE INTERNET WORKS. THE 
INTERNET BREEDS CYNICISM AND HATE. 
IT’S LIKE IT’S IN ITS DNA.” 
— BLOGGER WHO “SPENDS AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF TIME 
ON THE INTERNET READING THROUGH COMMENTS…” 
“POPE FRANCIS IS MOST TALKED ABOUT 
TOPIC ON FACEBOOK IN 2013” 
— FACEBOOK NEWSROOM
Y&R SEPTEMBER 2014 
FANCY DINING 
HUG OF HOME 
“EVERY SINGLE RESUTARANT IS 
PLAYING THIS GAME WHERE WE TRY TO 
TRICK YOU INTO NOT KNOWING 
WHETHER YOU WENT OUT TO EAT OR 
CAME HOME…THE MORE YOU FEEL LIKE 
YOU WENT OUT…WE DIAL UP THE 
YUMMY FACTOR SO YOU FEEL THE HUG 
OF HOME” 
-DANNY MEYER, THE NEW YORK TIMES
Y&R SEPTEMBER 2014 
ALARMINGLY 
NORMAL 
“THE FINALE OF “BREAKING BAD” 
SHATTERED RECORDS FOR THE SHOW 
AND WAS UP 300% OVER LAST YEAR'S 
FINALE.” 
THEWRAP.COM, 2013
Y&R SEPTEMBER 2014 
A FEW LAST 
THOUGHTS…
Y&R SEPTEMBER 2014 
CLICK & SHOUT
Y&R SEPTEMBER 2014 
FEEDBACK ON 
LINKEDIN 
“Most would have never thought 
of donating were it not for the 
chance to be in the spot light. 
And how many of those 
dumping water on themselves 
are even donating?” 
“All the videos I saw did not 
even mention ALS or the cause 
let alone making donations.” 
“Guilty as charged. No link to ALS on my 
post. But I used your link to make my 
donation. Thanks for the reminder.” 
“The challenge is fun, but like you stated, 
everyone should remember to donate; 
thanks for the reminder.” 
“A lot of people challenge the Ice Bucket 
just for fun, forget that they should 
make a donation.” 
“The campaign has deviated from its 
main purpose. Some people do this 
just for fun and not to point out ALS.”
Y&R SEPTEMBER 2014 
“STEVE JOBS WAS A LOW TECH PARENT” 
“So, your kids must love the iPad?” I 
asked Mr. Jobs, trying to change the 
subject. The company’s first tablet was 
just hitting the shelves. ‘They haven’t 
used it,’ he told me. “We limit how much 
technology our kids use at home.” 
— Nick Bilton 
Technology & Business Columnist 
“My kids accuse me and my wife of being fascists 
and overly concerned about tech, and they say that 
none of their friends have the same rules….This is 
rule No. 1: There are no screens in the bedroom. 
Period. Ever” 
— Chris Anderson 
Chief Executive, 3D Robotics, Former Editor, Wired

  • 31. Y&R SEPTEMBER 2014 FEEDBACK ON LINKEDIN “Most would have never thought of donating were it not for the chance to be in the spot light. And how many of those dumping water on themselves are even donating?” “All the videos I saw did not even mention ALS or the cause let alone making donations.” “Guilty as charged. No link to ALS on my post. But I used your link to make my donation. Thanks for the reminder.” “The challenge is fun, but like you stated, everyone should remember to donate; thanks for the reminder.” “A lot of people challenge the Ice Bucket just for fun, forget that they should make a donation.” “The campaign has deviated from its main purpose. Some people do this just for fun and not to point out ALS.”

Period. Ever” — Chris Anderson Chief Executive, 3D Robotics, Former Editor, Wired
