▲Photo from the Associated Press The changing algorithm of Facebook is no longer news, and no longer surprising to us editors or any digital marketing professional. In fact, the changes on Facebook are not universal around the world, but gradually implemented by region. For example, everyone's post background image may differ, some may have the newer images earlier, while others have to wait a while before they catch up.

▲The wildly sought after McDonald's limited supply of Szechuan Sauce and poster. As long as your brand has been around long enough, then you must have, in one way or another, some discontinued products that are deemed "classic or fondly missed"! If you intend to create an "unstoppable comeback" for these products, besides exerting a full-scale campaign and go on hollering, is there a more convenient and smarter way to pull it off? Maybe we could learn from the following example of McDonald's and draw some inspiration. Twenty years ago in 1998, McDonald's collaborated with Disney on its animated
