The Creative Block

The honorable Judge SP is presiding over this mediation session of the people vs. Netflix. Do ya'll feel like they have been treating you right or are you ready to separate?

Do you ever wonder how certain sounds start to trend on TikTok?

This episode is the origin story of a few sounds that are going to pop!

Mark our words.

Extra credit: DM @thecreativeblockpodcast how many TikTok references we casually slip into this conversation LOL

No, I don't think you understand- we're *obsessed*.. with TikTok!

Today, we discus the ingredients for virality: triggers, social currency, practicality, remarkability (and a bonus component), and apply it to the world of TikTok sounds.

Ditch the fork and grab your pitchfork and torch! SP has developed an extreme disdain for Instacart and wants to start a riot. In this episode, Jeremey attempts to get to the root of her grievances. In the Part 2, he will be matching her to an alternative grocery service that better fits her consumer needs.. or trying to at least.

Think back over the last week or in the next week, what are the moments that you immediately think about when we bring up Amazon? You might think of the website for sure. Maybe the commercials .. or the boxes that arrive at your doorstep.. but what about the things that you don't think about at first?

What about a comment on TikTok, or a screenshot of your friends cart in the group chat or the van parked in the middle of your street?

If you haven't noticed already, it might be around more than you think, but did you ever consider that each of those moments are kind of a subconscious exchange between you and the brand?

Let's discuss on today's episode of the Creative Block.
