What is the aim here? Q. Why do you want to do that? Q. Does that map back to the overall company goals? - Beth  Vanity metrics seem great but don't get obsessed by them and what they need   Danny's Quotables   Make art not content - make art that is not lost in social feeds  E I E Framework: educate, inspire and entertain. The core pillars that people should build content around Nick's Quotables "the normal kind of VR production for example, is like producing a video game. Or a short film or something like that. It's very, very labor intensive, very expensive. You're talking 50,000 upwards to create a one-off VR experience that doesn't really live on. You know, it's an experience you have and once you've had it, once you're very unlikely to return to it, unless it's significant"  The Future State Of Content Predictions Beth's  Longer form content  Content automation Mini docuseries for B2C brands (B2B brands have led the way for years) Programmatic SEO More experience based content - multi touch content  Nick's  AR & VR content creation tools  A lot more interactive content that we will be engaged with and seeking out  Content that drives the physical not just the digital  Danny's  - Experiences - Creator editor role - Live stream come and go for most - Live debate — duet remixing - CCTV style content - Art not content. NFTs prime example - Search vs discovery vs paywall  Want to listen to the future state of content again, jump tp to 43 mins for the predictions

  3. The Future State Of Saving & Discounts - Black Friday Special Podcast With Danny Denhard & Nick Walter

    11/28/2021

    The Future State Of Saving & Discounts - Black Friday Special Podcast With Danny Denhard & Nick Walter

    This week Danny Denhard and Nick Walter return with another instalment of the future state of podcast.  We discuss the future state of savings and discounts not just the craziness of Black Friday and cyber Monday.  The Good General savings for consumers Often makes expensive seasonal gifts more affordable The Bad The strain it places on logistics The work environment in many businesses becomes more stressful, creates more issues with internal teams and many businesses actually lose money rather the traditional Black Friday where businesses started to make money The Ugly Consumerism crisis The cost of delivery on the environment Material gifts at Xmas ====== We quick 5 second favour: Please do rate and review the podcast, it takes 5 seconds and it helps the podcast to spread to more people and make more people informed. Happily hit the review in your player or Rate On Apple // Rate on Spotify. ====== Important Topics Discussed:  Black Friday has been undone in the UK - The biggest retailers are all doing it differently. It’s causing confusion and chaos for consumers We saw ‘fake Black Friday’ a week early (19th) in the U.K. - devaluing what Black Friday and Cyber Monday was designed for Many are pushing Black Friday week and Black Friday month. We have seen huge year on year growth of sales for Black Friday Singles Day The West has adopted Single Day, which is traditionally an unoffical Chinese singles holiday. Singles Day in the UK is actually in March Amazon’s Influence Prime Day - The day(s) where Amazon drives savings across the marketplace - the biggest brands can drive attention and savings to their customers as part of their brand moat Amazon are reportedly planning to open 260+ stores over the next few years aka they truly know UK are hybrid shoppers 80% in store - 20% online so shopping in the U.K. has to be considered to have retail presence + online. We now have Prime expectations, subscription enables us to have: fair prices, quick delivery, free returns. Brands using biases against us: Cashless Effect (contactless transactions drive 8% more spend as seem like you are not spending as much money, this is why casino's use chips... seems less than cash), Brands that don’t discount might actually win the long game, brands include - Apple, Peloton, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co, Lululemon Unsung Heroes - Forums and groups Many saving related forums are super popular Thousands of Facebook groups dedicated to it The science behind why Aldi and Lidl surprise aisle Many groups dedicated to how to gain an extra saving, use certain points schemes, leverage the best deals Watch the Decarbonising The Art World Video Nick mentions.

    The Future State Of Meta Aka Facebook 👍 or 👎

    TLDR: Why Facebook is moving to Meta and its quest to the Metaverse?  For full insights and analysis sign up at www.thefuturestate.co.uk Nick and Danny dive into the Meta brand, the Facebook rebrand that has a wave of memes (here is the Iceland Tourism example https://www.facebook.com/inspiredbyiceland/videos/182101337445400/), the PR machine created quite a buzz but as many questions trying to understand what it means. Danny takes you through the history of the brand, the reason why its journey is so important and why the fights and bets made by Facebook’s leadership team have led to one of the biggest rebrands in history. Danny answers Nick’s question of why the rebrand was so important and the other potential it had Important notes: You have 4 master brand types you can: monolithic (FedEx), endorsed (Virgin), free standing (unilever with dove, wall's etc), hybrid (coca cola company, coca cola - diet coke - coke zero + sprite, fanta etc) What is Meta? Group of businesses - Facebook (big blue), Instagram, WhatsApp, - VR and experimental. Money making (facebook app, instagram) vs money losing (whatsapp, VR, metaverse building). Is comparable to Alphabet (Google's parent) Nick dives into the metaverse and the VR and AR side of the rebrand and repositioning (well worth watching the haptics ​​https://twitter.com/boztank/status/1460668829789351936 Danny and Nick answer a listener question: From James Sinfield @ Nestle“In your honest opinions, will Facebook (Meta) succeed with their aim of building a new version of Internet? Is there a flaw in their thinking?” Then comes the future state of Facebook and Meta (including the breakdown of the metaverse) 6 Ways To Help Shape Your Thoughts Facebook has turned into email 2.0 - necessary evil for many Facebook was the gateway to the internet for millions of users - particularly in Asia and Africa Facebook isn't a social network it's an ad's network - Facebook's biggest challenge is their algorithms and controlling how content spreads. This is not under control and they struggle to do so, so why will people rush to the new Meta products, software or hardware driven Meta has to shape and control the next generation of platforms. They never shaped the iPhone or any android device.

    THE Brand New Email Client To Fix Work - The Future State Of Podcast Pitch Edition 📧

    Nick (Walter) and I (Danny Denhard) return with a pitch episode, this week I pitch the best email client you have ever heard of.  The full breakdown of the idea and framework is available at thefuturestate.co.uk - sign up to the newsletter for full breakdowns, free content, a newsletter and deep dives. I introduce new features, optimising modern technologies and breaking down why and how to use email vs using millions of browser windows + desktop app + a mobile app - just to get work done.  If you like what you hear, let me know by tweeting @dannydenhard or sharing and tagging (links to our LinkedIn => me & Nick) the podcast on LinkedIn!  If you are listening on Spotify, complete the poll to let us know if you would use the new email client.  So TLDR on email? Email is still the most important communication tool Email is where you still sign off work, gain approval on budgets, headcount and often where bad news arrives, etc Email shapes businesses and will for years to come Even with the move to chat and the chatification of work, email still is where clarity lies within business and is the primary channel for communication with external people, vendors and clients Email clients are rarely updated and although there is Spark and Superhuman, these are not built for the modern workplace Love the podcast - you know what to do... add 5⭐️ ;-)
