How do we stand out in this 3 second modern attention span? There's literally 60 billion messages sent on digital platforms each day. Between emails, text messages, notifications, feeds, there's just so much content that's being pushed out into the world. You have to find some way to stand out and grab their attention in those first three seconds to earn the next 15 seconds, the next 30 seconds, the next 60 seconds. And that's how I design content, both online and offline. So many people are caught up in being an influencer, which is great. Like, certain influencers are very successful, but they're not real brands. They're not really doing a lot offline. And I think that there's such a tremendous opportunity to leverage social growth, to leverage a social following, to apply it to an offline story that can really drive brand growth.
