President Obama and Kid President meet for the first time.
aaaand I’m crying, goodnight.
Too many people demand instant results from social media. They forget that it is a value exchange between a them and their consumers, who are there on their own dime and their own time.
Create value first and sell second. Serve your fans with what they want to see, when they want to see it. Then figure out the commercial value of their attention. Do this the wrong way around and you’ll soon get bored with social media. Because those fans that you worked so hard to get, will unlike / unfollow / ignore you just as quickly….
“Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.” -Charles Mingus
As may of you know, some weeks ago I said to you that my mom was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer in stage 3, so I made an Indiegogo campaign to help her with the treatment.
I want to thank you to you all that have been sent me kind message and supporting my cause with donations.
I made this poster to promote my campaign, some people take the joke as black humor. That, of course, isn’t my intention I just want to capture the attention of the young people that aren’t aware of Cancer by making a contrast of concepts, sometimes we are pissed off by little things as a dropped ice cream, youtube restrictions, low battery on your phone but if you stop and think how many people have hard problems in the world like cancer you will think twice before getting anger. Is like a merge of funny simple things (like your cookie doesn’t fit on your glass of milk) with a real serious problem, is far more easy to capture your attention with a simple and cute icon of a funny thing than showing a photograph of a woman dying from cancer or the word in all caps: CANCER.
My real goal is pass the goal of $5k lot of people says that $5k isn’t enough for a whole threatment of Cancer so I really hope to pass that goal with your help.
