Everyone’s an influencer.
You may have heard that before. But I have a thesis that:
- Every company will become a media company.
- Every investor will become an influencer.
- Every small business will become a micro media enterprise.
How do I know? Because of truck drivers. Do you know what truck drivers look like these days? I mean, I had a slightly different visual than this… (get it, girl).
My point is…
… I own a portfolio of dozens of boring businesses that weren’t exactly “tech-enabled” when I bought them (many still used fax machines).
And yet, there’s a sponge company out there with a ~$0 marginal cost of advertising, and 1.8m TikTok followers — Scrub Daddy.
The company:
- Is on track to make $100m this year.
- Grew by 80% in 2021 largely due to its foul-mouthed internet sponge.
If you own a business, I can’t imagine spending a better dollar than on growing your organic marketing.
Tell your story in an authentic, entertaining way on social media, and watch your competitors struggle to keep up.
