This presentation discusses strategies for using social media to celebrate and promote being smart. It recommends entertaining and educating audiences with tech humor and insights while simplifying complex topics. Content should share inside jokes, provide a tech perspective on current events, and explore future technologies. The goal is to capture people's attention for 1 second and then hold it for 10 seconds by making them smarter and entertaining them, in order to potentially engage them for a full minute. Examples of effective content include countdowns for product launches, educational entertainment about products, and humor about technology.

21. The 1:10:1 of social engagement
We have 1 second to capture
someones attention
If successful, we earn another 10 seconds of their time
If successful, we can
earn a full minute
1 second is the tipping point. If we dont catch
them in 1 second, we wont catch them at all.
