We tend to live in the distracted present, where the forces of the periphery are magnified and those of in front of us ignored. Our ability to create, plan, much less follow through on, is undermined by our need to be able to improvise our way through any number of infernal impacts that stand to derail us at any moment.
Douglas Rushkoff
Present Shock
Narrative CollapseThere is no society doesn’t tell stories.
Storytelling is how we transmit value, it has a cultural use.
It creates context. It is comforting and orienting. It helps smooth out obstacles and impediments by recasting them as bumps along the road to some better place.
But
How do we tell stories and convey values without the time required to tell a linear story?
Create a character
Put them in danger
Heighten tension unbearably
Release tension (with a product).
Traditional Narrative Technique

If selling turns us off, then content is King.
Douglas Rushkoff
- 'You don't click the remote to change channels because you are bored, but because you are mad. Someone you don't trust is attempting to make you anxious.'
What makes you change TV channels?
The aesthetics of social media form is the fragment
Small Fragments
Tiny Fragments
Teeny Weenie Fragments
Best Practice – Content Length
Fragments are often de-contextualised. You don’t know what came before of after
Your personality/ take is the glue
You consistent voice creates the narrative
You provide the context
Does this mean that context is King?
Facebook Friends Day
Authenticity Deficits
Does this mean that connection t is King?

A guide to creating Content
Only around 4-5% will see your posts. Profile data is old. Are you the same as 10 years ago. Your whole success on FB is dependent on what is called the Edge
Rank Algorythm. (Not a waterfall) Every interaction is an edge. Facebook constantly trying to find most shareable content as this
makes people come back to Facebook. How much your content travels is dependent on Likes, Comments
and above all SHARES. Is your content FUN. Is it RELEVENT. Is it USEFUL? Will it work on Mobile?
HOW DO YOU FIND WHAT YOUR AUDIENCE LIKES?
Facebook Content
Think of three questions that you could ask your audience that would tell you more about them and give your more things to talk about.
Zara has 25m followers let’s look at their Facebook page.
ASK THEM!

How might we improve it?
ZARA Ouch...
Most of Facebook is now on Mobile. This means no sidebar ads.
You have to use Facebook Sponsored Stories What makes it great is that you amplify what
works organically. If you see a post working for 4-5% of your followers - Extend reach and Amplify it.
You can amplify reactions to content too. Because of Edgerank has positive impact on
further posts.
PAID CAMPAIGNS – YES!
If Facebook is about Friendship then Twitter is about News and Info.
A place where anyone can make news. It is about the moment and reactions to
the moment. You can jump into ANY conversation on
Twitter get involved. Your Personality or context is more
important than important than content.
Twitter Content
On the next slide is a picture from some trending content this week.
Add your reaction or ‘context’ to it.
Make a comment.

Instagram is a closed loop system. Links only take you to other placed in Instagram.
(People put the term – Links in Profile with each photo)
You can only share your own content People do take screengrabs of other
peoples content and re-upload. Entertain and Inform – Good pictures vital.
