Hey guys, it’s the 10th edition of Heads-UP and we know you’ve all got that #factfriday #fridayfeeling. Too many hashtags? We don’t care! Sit back and find out the most interesting things the RE-UP team have learnt this week, hopefully over a cold beer or a glass of rose (because of the sun, yanno):

How we represent them in advertising is another interesting question – Lucile
