I was very excited to have Ahmad come ant talk to us, not only because I love Dazed, but because I have been thinking a lot about how to implement a strategy for conceptual work. What stuck with me the most was how he spoke about going beyond the distribution of content and creating desire /answering questions and also to be aware of new technologies and the future of social media. Below are some notes I took for reflection.
-Telling stories in whatever form exists.
-Create culture, don’t just reflect it (make a statement).
-Dazed 100 – create something new and engaging.
-It’s not just about distributing content, it’s about creating an element of desire with your audience.
-Creating content and interacting with audiences.
-Using content as a vehicle for conversation.
-Youth culture magazine.
-Be aware of the future of social media.
-New technologies.
