Rory, Elfried and Timothy on the future for influencers
Q: What do you think is the current state of influencer marketing?
The game has shifted to being more about the content created rather than the individual person's interest.
Rory, Elfried and Jordan on scaling the Sidemen
Q: What is it that you would do differently if you had to start from day zero all over again?
Go for the long haul, keep it financially sustainable, and don't copy others to make money, as it will likely be a false economy.
Rory, Elfried and Jordan on scaling the Sidemen
Q: What is it about the early days of Sidemen, especially the business end, that other creative groups or creators should aim to copy?
Focus on the audience more than anything else and make content that is authentic. Build an audience very authentically without making it about the money.
