Spreadable media is media that audiences want to share through social means in order to strengthen social ties, build community, and increase their own notoriety. Valuable spreadable media is available when and where audiences want it, portable, reusable in various ways, relevant to multiple groups, and part of a steady stream of new material. Businesses can learn from how media spreads naturally between people and create spreadable content that audiences will want to share with others for personal and social reasons.
