Why we like it:

GE and The New York Times tackle the subject of ‘How Nature Is Inspiring Our Industrial Future’ in their latest piece of native content. In fact this is the 100th piece of sponsored content, since T Brand Studio launched 2 years. The post includes video, article and interactive content that takes the reader through GE’s journey to find efficient ways of creating innovation by copying and working with nature.

Quote of the Week

It’s not just about the number of people who are consuming the content, but who those people are, what are they doing afterwards they’re exposed to the content and how engaged they are with the content” 

– Ann Marinovich, Forbes
