I was sifting through some old files of mine and found this guidebook I put together for my junior planners when I was still working in Korea.
The presentation deck might be a bit old (it's in 4:3 format), and slightly more tailored to how I saw the state of strategy & planning in Korea, but a lot of its content should still hold true today.

Mystified by TikTok and how to use it in your content marketing strategy? Don't be. Here are three lessons from brands successfully utilizing Gen Z's new favorite social media platform.
TikTok Marketing: The Next Biggest Social Media PlatformMelvyn Tan
TikTok, the social media app that has taken the world by storm has about 800M monthly active users. Since its merger with Musical.ly, the social media platform has grown to become the world's 6th biggest social media platform.
Here are some interesting statistics about TikTok, especially if you are looking to use it as a marketing platform:
– Average daily time on TikTok estimated at 45 minutes
– Android users spent 68 billion hours using TikTok in 2019
– Total downloads over 1.5 billion
– The seventh-most downloaded app of the 2010s
In this one-day course, learners will understand the TikTok ecosystem and learn how to set-up, create content, and leverage the platform to market your brand. They will also learn tips and strategies on how to find and ride on trending challenges on TikTok. By the end of this course, they will be able to formulate their content and marketing strategy on TikTok.
PS: As of this writing, brands are unable to target users in Singapore when running ads on TikTok. Which means, the success of your marketing efforts on TikTok are highly dependent on your content strategy.
Jiff Inc. founder, James Currier, discusses how game mechanics, consumer psychology, and design thinking are revolutionizing health benefits engagement.

The buzz surrounding gamification as an engagement platform is reaching critical mass in our industry with the bulk of attention directed to shallow, superficial layers of points & badges but there’s more to unlock. Lot’s more.

Cloquo is a tool and a social network that lets you grab events you find on the Internet that you don’t want to miss out on and turns them into alarms sent directly to your smartphone (iPhone only for now). Later, you can share them and comment on them as well as follow people with similar tastes, and much more.
1. Grab events from the web
2. Turn them into alarms
3. Your iPhone will let you know when it’s time
4. Share alarms with friends
If you use Pocket or Evernote to save events you spot on internet from your computer, now you will save the webpage and also will get an alarm to get reminded about the event when time comes!

Gamification for Growth Hackers -theflyyFlyyx Tech
You have to ask some of these important questions before you start implementing gamification in your product —
Why is a user doing a particular action in the product?
Why do users return to use your product?
What do they care about?
Digging into intrinsic motivation will help in designing compelling experiences and avoid some common pitfalls of gamification.
You have to connect Points, Badges, Levels, Leaderboards, and other reputation/reward systems that you decide with the intrinsic motivation of your user.
Keep these learnings in mind and you will be able to create a powerful gamification system for your product.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

It’s the social network!
72. Your friends can follow your

85. Access to other moods is

86. The only way to be rewarded a
better mood is by being an
active participant, helping both
your fellow Wazers and of
course ultimately the app’s
success.
87. Each time you report an
incident that will help the
community: a fallen tree, a
police speed-check, you get
points.
You even get points for simply
having the app running while
you’re driving!
88. And just like the other gamified apps, there’s a clear progress
bar, a public leaderboard and teams!

First, these rewards didn’t bring much
value to the product.
Second, they were too PREDICTABLE!
WHY?
104. In the 50s, the researcher B.F. Skinner
studied behavior conditioning at
Harvard University.
Back to theory
105. To understand how rewards could influence behavior,
he invented the “Skinner box”.
106. The mice would press a lever and sometimes they’d
get a small treat, other times a large treat, and other
times nothing at all.
107. Unlike the mice that received the same treat every
time, the mice that received variable rewards would
press the lever way more compulsively!

108. Humans, like the mice in Skinner’s box, crave
predictability and struggle to find patterns, even
when none exist.
We respond most voraciously to random rewards.
🎲
109. That’s why gambling and playing the lottery are so
addictive! Every new game is exciting as you never
know what you’re gonna get 😏
🎰
131. Instead of pushing a notification
after a friend sent you a message,
it’s pushed while your friend is
typing!
132. Obviously, this makes you want to find out what will happen
next. If you don’t know what’s going to happen, your brain is
engaged and you think about it often!
137. Life is hard.
Hopefully, games are here to entertain us.
They generate excitement through the
competition and rewards mechanisms
that we just studied.

Instead of a blank loading screen, they inserted fun messages.
146. These are the little details that make a BIG difference!
147. Houseparty is also really good at entertaining the users on
