What are your thoughts on #kidfluencers ? E.g. a 7 year old earning $22M on YouTube reviewing toys and launching a line of toys with Walmart, 3 year old twins with 4M Instagram followers levying their fame to a clothing line at Target, a 7 year old promoting dancewear to nearly 5M followers. Traackr gave me the chance to explore this issue in a new series #TrendLightly . In it, I explore the gray area between entrepreneurship and exploitation, in which parents and talent agents drive hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in revenue from children. Child actors have existed since the days of Charlie Chaplin discovering Jackie Coogan (which, subsequently led to protective measures like the Coogan Law preventing parents from entirely hoarding their actor kids’ earnings). They are branded as influencers, actors, and celebrities with the help of entrepreneurial, digitally-savvy parents and agents. Kids are not always unwilling participants. But, do they understand the implications? Feat. insights from Katelyn Holbrook . Link in comments! What are your thoughts? #influencermarketing #socialmedia …see more

If people say that the space where you are launching a startup is already crowded, just remember that when Netflix launched there was no shortage of places to rent a movie. #startups #netflix #innovation #customercentricity

Facebook publishes billions of pages of content with adverts. What's "not a media company" about that? Zuckerberg wants to be legally viewed as a platform not as a media company to get protection from lawsuits. Losing platform status would be a disaster for Facebook.

My good friend Deanna Hartley posted this and I thought I would share it again because the CMO of MasterCard makes a wonderful connection between leadership, accountability, learning and the future that I think we can all learn from. #marketing and the business can not and should not be separate. #leadership …see more

Last Friday, I named and claimed a “defining career moment” before heading to the Lincoln Memorial to cover the 57th Anniversary of the #MarchOnWashington . They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I’m hoping these nine photographs will adequately capture the incredible experience of covering the #MarchOnWashington2020 for National Geographic . You can learn more about the event by following me on Twitter at @RJConsults or Instagram at Rachella55.
