Hot Seat
Each person will be given three words.
One word at a time, a person needs to put the word above his head and try
to guess the word by getting clues from the rest of the audience.
The person who guesses the most will get a prize.

Superfans
Thee superfans are the people most likely to comment, tweet, share, parody,
and even redistribute content that they find appealing. To reach the beating
heart of superfans at the core, brands must listen, tune in, share, and
reciprocate with the whole community. Brands must build meaningful
connections with all, just like creators do.

Consumer-worthy
Contents
To create a consumer-worthy contents, there are laws of Digital Social
Contract that we have to follow:
1. Pure passion trumps production
2. Community is king
3. Engagement-driven, not hit-driven
4. Think small to be big
5. Make universes, not content
6. Revenue grows when it disappears

Pure passion
trumps production
“I know my content is good
because I’m real, I give 110
percent of myself. Other people
are scared. I’m not afraid to take
chances,” says DeStorm Power,
one of today’s most prolific and
best-decorated Viners (with over
two billion loops and almost six
million fans).

Contrary to what many in traditional
media believe, content in digital media
is not king. It’s community that counts.
In other words, creators follow their
fans. They drive the most engagement
— and revenue — on social
platforms. Superfan communities
push in three directions. They force
creators and brands to adjust access
points, platform adoption, and each
other.
Community is King

“We believe trust is earned over a long
period of time through the aggregation
of all our actions, it’s impossible to buy
trust with a ton of marketing dollars.
We have to show the audience day
after day after day that we are honest
and authentic in our storytelling. Trust
means that we can make a mistake,
and the audience gives us the benefit
of the doubt that it was a bona fide
mistake rather than an intent to
deceive,” says Cenk Uygur.
Engagement-driven,
not hit-driven

Successful creators also don’t try
to be something they’re not. “I have
to remember not to do things that
aren’t really me or the community,
my fans expect to see me working
out in my living room, and when I’m
not, they notice!” says Casey Ho.
With a well-defined passion and
committed community, creators
should feel liberated. Somewhere,
there is an audience for just about
anything.
Think small
to be big

Programming across platforms with brand
stewardship in mind is critical for building a
consistent audience. This approach
predates the Internet, of course. In new
media, these universes are unified by the
indelible personalities of their creators — a
vlogger’s nuanced perceptions of life may
launch a linear TV series and innovative
merchandising lines; a musician’s quirky
take on pop may spin on a new media
record label and sold-out world tours.
Make universes,
not contents

Revenue grows
when it disappears
Social messaging apps and games that
sell virtual goods can express emotion,
personalise the messaging experience,
and/or advance to new levels; as such,
they can be wonderfully effective revenue
generators in an invisible — but effective
— way. The Z generation is much less
tolerant of video advertising that [is] poorly
targeted, irrelevant to the medium where
they’re watching, or lacking authenticity .

primary medium is YouTube music videos.

Now we know…

What should we do
then?
1. Honour community as king
2. Find pure passion in niche creators
3. Increase revenue by letting it fade
4. Foster engagement through (creator and
brand) universes
