Welcome to the Harvey Cameron digital recap. This month we look at AR in Google Maps, Reddit being and underrated ad platform, Pinterest focusing more on ecommerce and some large restrictions coming to Twitter for advertisers.
AR navigation coming to Google Maps
Google Maps has always pushed the barrier on navigation, shifting the market of dedicated GPS devices to having a cellphone perform the same function is no mean feat, but we will see a new intuitive way to travel with the advent of AR navigation.

Pinterest has been rolling out new ways of integrating ecommerce into areas of their platform. The newest implementation involves suggested products based on pins and catalogues users, which will be a key opportunity for more branded advertising moving forward in the app for relevant retailers.
