With platforms like TikTok exposing millions of people to knowledge they never had access to, we're witnessing the reign of the DIY generation. Brands are no longer able to gatekeep information from consumers, allowing creators to spin themselves to fame through often divisive and bold views on what and who to boycott.Shared knowledge is a positive force exposing people to answers they wouldn't find elsewhere, changing how we consume and research brands, but it also puts more pressure on media literacy while navigating through information that's not regulated or fact-checked by anyone. This week, we discuss:How DIY and knowledge era impacts brand comms and marketingPros and Cons of shared knowledgeThings we've learned on social, and major movements we've seen take shapeFollow House of Content on TikTok , Youtube, and Instagram.

Last year was dubbed the year of the girl and consequently, we all turned into girlies on social. We embraced everything from bows to ballerina core and The Barbie Movie. The seemingly innocent, rose-tinted trend can also double as a thinly veiled form of radical escapism of the burdens of womanhood under attack (at least in America). Perhaps the girlification of content and marketing is also a permission to play on platforms that originally were spaces for younger generations. Either way, Janni and Christine join the show to debate the phenomenon.The topics discussed in this episode are:Tradwives, misogyny, and ageism in girlificationThe liberation of allowing yourself to be girly in professional and personal settings Presenting feminine and being a woman in marketing and agencies, and more.Follow House of Content on TikTok , Youtube, and Instagram.

It seems that every other celebrity, bravolebrity, creator, and podcaster is on weight loss medication.

The casting of plus size models at the most recent New York Fashion Week has dropped by 24%. And, while these medications are a breakthrough for many that need them to manage their health, it does seem that we are collectively going back to the very same diet culture every millennial grew up in.This week on House of Content:How diet culture is back on socialHow brands should and should not approach this worldIs body positivity dead or merely on pause?Follow House of Content on TikTok , Youtube, and Instagram.

Creator-founded brands are rewriting the rules of product launches. While the first step may have been to collaborate with established brands on content,  creators are now leveraging their engaged communities to launch  companies and products of their own, turning their influence into something much larger than logos alone.   It isn't easy to build a business even if you have a built-in audience.

Cindy Gallop said it best, just #SayYourAge. Sometimes, it's not so simple when your industry (in this case, advertising) celebrates youth at every turn. That's why it's more important than ever to recognize ageism, both internalized and cultural, to move past the notions and beliefs we have. So buckle up, it's going to be a long one.

Everyone and their CMO is chasing virality on social media. It seems we still collectively reside in the early 2010s mindset of “If the content's good enough, it can and will reach millions”. However, between shifting algorithms, pay-to-play platforms, and rising competition, dominating cultural zeitgeist means you have to invest either money, resources, time, and sometimes, all three, to blow up.In this episode we ask ourselves: is dominating culture even possible without scale?Here's what we discuss:The Barbie effect and whether it is repeatable or a one-off phenomenonCommunity over scale and the shift to two-way conversations with audiencesHow to study successful viral content to unveil the mechanisms that led to its popularity.Follow House of Content on TikTok , Youtube, and Instagram.
