THE AGE OF 30
haven’t noticed
THEN THEY STARTED GETTING
book deals…
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
TAKEN BY SURPRISE
MARKETERS HAVE
BEEN A LITTLE
BY THIS
surprised

551
TALKS ON
‘INFLUENCERS’
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
They are real people with a real connection
to their audiences. They are able to connect
emotionally with their audiences, which
brands really love“

WE CAN DO BETTER
CREDIT: SAATCHI SAATCHI
WE CAN CREATE
ROBOTS THAT
LEARN HOW TO
PLAY GAMES FROM
GAMES VLOGGERS
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
WE CAN BREAK
PLATFORMS – GETTING
INSTAGRAMMERS TO
CREATE A STOPMOTION
FILM BEFORE
INSTAGRAM VIDEO WAS
A THING
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
IT’S A
whole
new
world
AT HOLLER WE’VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT IT A
LOT. WE RAN AN EVENT
ABOUT THE
RESPONSBILITY
INFLUENCERS HAVE…
This chap, Rick Edwards, a
broadcaster, thinks
influencers have an
obligation to get young
people to vote
This guy, Jim Chapman an
influencer, doesn’t want be
forced into creating
content he doesn’t want to
create
MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN
HOW TO PRETEND A PRODUCT
REVIEW ISN’T JUST AN ADVERT,
RIGHT?
3 BETTER
QUESTIONS
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
WHAT DOES THE
ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?
future
QUESTION 1:
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
...copy, extend, and finally,
discovery of a new form. It takes
a while to shed old paradigms.“ @_scottjensen
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
WHEN PLATFORMS FIRST
EMERGE, WE DON’T KNOW
HOW TO USE THEM, SO
WE JUST COPY WHAT WE
USED TO DO.
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
IT TAKES TIME AND LOTS
OF TRIAL & ERROR
BEFORE WE TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE
PLATFORM ITSELF
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
RADIO = WAS READING STUFF
TV = WAS RECORDING RADIO STUFF
INTERNET = WAS ONLINE BROCHURES
BEDROOM CELEBRITIES = ???
ZOELLA THE POLITICAN?
(it may sound silly, but….)
RONALD REAGAN
40th PRESIDENT OF USA
HOLLYWOOD ACTOR
FOODTUBE RESTAURANT?
COULD THERE BE A
WHAT IF BRANDS HELPED THAT HAPPEN RATHER
THAN JUST ASKING FOR PRODUCT REVIEWS?
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUTUBERS
CREATE THEIR OWN PLATFORM?
LIKE JAY Z AND OTHERS HAVE DONE WITH TIDAL?
A YOUTUBE GAMER’S OWN GAME?
THIS ACTUALLY ALREADY HAPPENED. ALMOST.
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
HOLY CRAP, SHOULDN’T THIS
STUFF BE, YOU KNOW…
regulated?
QUESTION 2:
SHOULD CONTENT BE MONITORED TO ENSURE
CERTAIN POTENTIALLY DETRIMENTAL MESSAGES
ARE REMOVED?
What's the future of influencer marketing?
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
INDUSTRYREGULATIONS 9pm watershed
No junk food to kids
Voluntary groups e.g. Portman
OFCOM and ASA guidelines
Education quota
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
THE ASA HAS
STARTED SLAPPING
WRISTS. BUT
THAT’S IT SO FAR…
WHO SHOULD BE REGULATING THIS?
THE GOVERNMENT?
A VOLUNTARY BODY?
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
WITH GREAT POWER, SHOULD
THERE BE GREAT
responsibility?
QUESTION 3:
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
IN THE UK, TV
BROADCASTERS
HAVE TO PLAY PARTY
POLITICAL
BROADCASTS.
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
VOTE!

HAVE THE SAME
REACH, SHOULD
THEY HAVE TO TOO?
The Influence of Influence @tombrandy & @imjustmike
