Would this still matter if nobody could see it? Check this out. Action Bryson didn't rank this performance to fit social. He kept true to his worse, and he let social catch up. But most brands, they're doing the opposite. They design for the camera first and then try to inject some type of meaning after. But the opportunity now isn't more content ideas that turn into events. It's to create something real enough that content becomes the byproduct.
