The Attention Economy: Huh?
We are witnessing a fundamental shift in our culture.
Human attention is a scarce commodity.
Lets get REAL
• Demand TV
• Call vs. message
• Credit card
• Facebook sign ups
• Banner ads
• Email marketing
17
What Now?
Two take aways (nothing more)
• Small community operations in a global economy
• Social is not a distribution mechanism
BUT, if your content is insanely good, it will catch on regardless of this.
Case in point: Viral content set up by JvM Necker
Disclaimer: This campaign was set up by the
agency as an internal competition and works off
of DHL’s brand value within the German market.
