In the attention economy, simply placing an advert in front of someone is no longer enough; the real prize is content people voluntarily share.

Memes work because they carry emotion, humour and social currency, helping audiences feel “in on the joke” & turning consumers into active distributors & creators of branded content.

Why we give our cats, dogs and other pets social media accounts
Often, when people talk about their pets, they are also talking about themselves — about the things they value and the experiences that shape who they are.

Digital language has therefore developed its own resources for communicating what words alone cannot. Much like punctuation, “haha” can soften a message, reassure the recipient & signal that the conversation remains friendly and low-stakes.
