57. NEW
Advice for a
World

58. “NEW” ADVICE
Mimic what you see on the platform. Content is King, but context is even more important.
Don’t interrupt or be intrusive. Talk about what they’re talking about.
Example: Harlem Shake or Ice Bucket Challenge

59. “NEW” ADVICE
Share “jabs,” non-direct to your offering. Aim to hit an emotion so hard that the customer wants to share it, because it will say as much about them as your fair.

60. “NEW” ADVICE
Be a real person, like a friend. Share:
•Entertainment to help them escape
•Useful information they can utilize

61. IMAGES
are so important.
