10 LESSONS from 10 of the BEST Marketers👇🧵

1/ Understand Culture First

"Marketing is effective when it’s a reflection of culture. Have to understand culture and society to understand marketing"

@mkobach
2/ Four Keys

• Make your audience feel like they know u— inside look into lifestyle or clear buyer persona

• Create shareable content—audience promos for u

• Authenticity

• Interactive strategies since everything is digital. Create EXPERIENCES

@JunaeBrown
3/ Pillars of Content

Every piece of content have 3 things:

- PURPOSE
- GOAL
- DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

@AmandaMGoetz
4/ Clear Value Prop

"If you can’t describe in one tweet why someone should follow your brand on social, you can bet the average social user can’t find the reason either."

@JuiceboxCA
5/ Organic

"Avoid getting hooked on paid marketing.

It drives quick growth but is expensive, easily replicated and therefore less defensible.

Plant the seeds of organic growth early to reduce reliance on paid marketing and drive down CAC over time."

@KyleTibbitts
6/ Empower

"Wildly popular or 'viral' brand posts aren’t subjected to multiple edits, pulled from a content plan or scheduled.

Viral posts happen when a social team is empowered to respond in real-time, in relevant ways to fleeting but remarkable social moments."

@jenalyson
7/ Unify a Community

Create a visual identity:

@MorningBrew = ☕

@AndrewYang = 🧢

When you run into another "☕" on twitter, you know they read the Brew.

8/ Emotion

"Pay attention to what people are posting.

We crave nostalgia. We crave songs from our childhood. We crave the stories that made us laugh - made us cry.

Our connection is emotional.

How is your brand tapping into the emotions of your audience?"

The emergence of many new hypocrisies typically heralds an emerging new cultural synthesis.

Are you disturbed that you agree with one of those viewpoints? Or perhaps that other people you respect do?

Let me offer a framework for thinking about things like this, something called an “Omega Event.”

It was first described to me by Erik Martin, one of Reddit's first community managers:

In governance, Omega Events exist due to the fact that no system of beliefs, no worldview, no set of rules, can account for everything that will ever happen.

Eventually someone (or some group) will do something that lies outside the scope of all existing rules, and you will have to make decisions again from first principles.

Sometimes the Omega Event emerges from the confluence of many unrelated factors. When it does, it is wholly different from anything you’ve encountered.

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.


This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
