CELEBRITY 2.0
NEW NEW HOLLYWOOD IS BREAKING ALL THE RULES
The rise of the creative class is reshaping media and redefining fame and celebrity.
The balance of power has shifted from producers, studios, broadcast networks, etc.,
to the new creative talent. We call this creative class “New New Hollywood” (NNH).
But what’s really profound is the power that these NNH creators wield. NNH
personalities have enormous fan bases with extraordinary loyalty and
unprecedented engagement - fanatical, in fact.
For example, Nicki Minaj (a traditional celebrity) has <9.5 million fans on YouTube
and Hillary Clinton has <5mil Twitter fans, while PewDiePie (a NNH celebrity)
commands an audience of nearly 40 million on YouTube. NNH has so much influence
it could single-handedly reshape culture and society, let alone brand preferences.
NNH could even swing the 2016 presidential election!
Brands need to leverage NNH, but to do so, they need to understand the context and
unique ways in which NNH operates. The rules of engagement are very different.
This report sets out to shed light on one of the most important cultural forces at
work today: NEW NEW HOLLYWOOD.

SHIFTING BALANCE OF POWER:
FREEMIUM MUSIC

Music streaming services have recently exploded in
popularity. Spotify appears to be the juggernaut that
has constructed a sweet spot in the Freemium space.
However, competitors like SoundCloud,TIDAL, Apple
Music and soon Facebook Music are all attempting to
perfect the formula for a highly demanded service.

SHIFTING BALANCE OF POWER:
EDUCATION HACKING
5
The next generation will be the most educated in history, yet some
argue that bureaucracy prevents the education system from adapting
to rapidly changing economic and business environments. As a result,
more people are turning to nontraditional education options, including
homeschooling and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Khan
Academy is one example of an education portal that provides entirely
free subject lessons and practice problems online.

SHIFTING BALANCE OF POWER:
CITIZEN JOURNALISM
6
Increasing access to mobile technology and data plans has enabled civilians from around the world
to assume the role of citizen journalists. While citizen journalism is scrutinized for lack of
professional fact-checking and inciting mob mentality, mainstream news networks will often air or
publish civilian-submitted stories. Furthermore, several regions have used social media to express
political views and organize protests. In Ukraine, daily tweets nearly tripled after civilian fatalities
during February 2014 protests.

DECLINE OF TRADITIONAL MEDIA
The ways in which we access entertainment, content, and
information are changing, for example…

TRADITIONAL MEDIA ARE GATE KEEPERS
8
Over the past few decades, top media companies have pursued a variety of acquisitions and mergers that
resulted in the largest media conglomerates in history. While these conglomerates have astounding budgets
for their content, many of them cling to outdated media practices. As a result, mainstream American media
still struggles to successfully represent diversity and authenticity. Traditional media isn’t going anywhere,
there will always be a demand for big blockbuster movies and major celebrities. However, one cannot
disregard the rise of New New Hollywood and its growing influence on culture.

Speculation about a wave of cable cutting — when a

We are also seeing dramatic shifts in the way people consume media,
specifically the time spent watching and the device they are watching on.
As consumers are adopting these digital services that allow them to
stream from any internet connected device, media consumption on
tablets and smartphones is rapidly increasing (surpassing desktop usage
for the first time in 2014). Currently, brands are spending more ad dollars
on TV media when in reality, the majority of engaged consumption occurs
on mobile devices.

APPOINTMENT VIEWING IS DEAD
13
Prior to new media platforms, creators would post their content on blogs or personal websites. While
users could bookmark or manually navigate to these sites, it didn’t ensure that users would stay up to
date on new content. In contrast, new media emphasizes the follow/subscribe feature. Subscribe
functionality varies by platform, but it generally involves opting in to receive updates when a creator posts
new content. This distinguishes new media from old, as individual consumers have replaced media
conglomerates as the gatekeepers, deciding which creators are featured on media platforms.

Snapchat is a photo and video messaging app launched in
2012. The app allows users to share photos and videos with
individuals on their contact lists or upload content to a Story
which is viewable by anyone who follows that user. The
feature that has helped Snapchat explode in popularity is the
ephemerality of sharing: individual messages will disappear
after viewing, while Stories disappear after 24 hours.

An exciting aspect of the new media industry is that it is
constantly evolving. Multiple new platforms launched within
the last year, including Periscope, Meerkat and Beme. If these
names don’t sound familiar, they will soon. Their user base is
quickly growing, and we are already beginning to see creators

New media consumers have the luxury of variety. Creators are constantly uploading new content
across platforms, creating a library of infinite content that spans from videos of waffles falling over to
how-to cooking channels. While the super successful creators have audiences well into the millions,
the smaller audiences of more niche channels are often the most dedicated and passionate.

ORIGINAL NETWORKS WERE BORN FROM
NNH CREATORS
35
After successful new media creators began to develop their own network, many of them recognized the
need for professional representation. While some partnered with traditional talent agencies, others
wanted agents and managers that understood the rapidly changing world of new media. Thus, a group of
creators created the first multichannel network: Maker Studios. Maker served as a creative network,
providing talent with equipment, studio space and access to management and representation.
THE ROLE OF AN MCN IS A HYBRID OF
STUDIO, AGENT AND PROMOTER
36
New media creators are attracted to MCN partnerships because they provide a variety of
resources without attempting to take ownership or creative control over the content. MCNs
play a supportive role, taking care of brand relationships, negotiations and sometimes even
editing and data analytics needs so that creators can focus on creating quality content.
MCNS ARE NOT EXPLOITING CREATORS
37
While brands certainly have the opportunity to help develop this new sector of media and
entertainment, there are examples of traditional media outlets hindering the success of
new media creators. The rock group, Unlocking the Truth, is one such example. After one of
its live Brooklyn performances went viral, the teens were signed by Sony for $1.8M.
Unfortunately, the boys struggled to adapt to the corporate circus and felt they were
sacrificing their artistic integrity for the sake of the contract.
38
Fandom
NNH FANDOM
The culture of NNH fans is like no other, and almost as
influential as the creators themselves.
FAN COMMUNITIES ARE
THE HEARTBEAT OF NNH
39
New New Hollywood stars would be nothing without their audiences. One key tactic for developing a
dedicated and engaged audience is to foster a strong sense of community between the creator and the
audience as well as between audience members. Creators are often very careful not to label their
audience as fans. To both creator and viewers, the relationship is far more intimate than a typical
celebrity/fan relationship. Creators are often sharing their personal lives or passion projects to be
consumed by viewers in the intimacy of their own bedrooms.
VIEWERS WILL TRAVEL, QUEUE, AND
PURCHASE WITH FERVOR
40
Successful new media creators experience a celebrity status akin to mainstream celebrities. For
thousands of fans the chance to meet their favorite new media star is priceless, including the hours of
wait time, travel costs and VIP access for meet and greets. Many new media creators open online merch
stores as a source of added revenue, and new T-shirt and hoodie designs will often sell out within hours.
In 2013, a twerking Tyler Oakley instigated the entire Staples Center to chant his name at a Tyler Oakley
concert, a small feat for someone who can routinely start globally trending hashtags on Twitter.
NNH EVENTS WILL BECOME THE
COMIC CON OF TOMORROW
41
Similar to many other special interest communities, there are several specific events focused entirely on New
Media that provide an opportunity for fans to meet their favorite creators in real life. While tickets to these
events are typically not cheap, they include access to multiple days of entertainment, education and merch.

For creative fans, creators are the perfect muse. They’ll draw
portraits, write fan fiction, and create an infinite number of GIFs
and memes to share within their fandom. Creators are happy to
feature this work, and will often incorporate fan designs and
soundtracks into their content, social profiles and merchandise.
VIRAL SHARING CREATES NEW
ICONS IN COMMON CULTURE
43
The creation and sharing of Internet memes has become a
normalized form of communication. While many memes are
created using stock images or illustrations, some memes
are created when a candid photo goes viral. The subjects of
these photos, such as Grumpy Cat or Overly Attached
Girlfriend, gain a type of celebrity status due to their
widespread recognizability.

GLOBAL AUDIENCES ARE SHAPING A NEW,
UNIVERSAL FORM OF COMMUNICATION
44
The New New Hollywood audience is markedly international.
Wherever one can find an Internet or network connection, new media
can be accessed. Without a dependency on distribution channels
(movie theaters, cable networks) audiences are no longer limited to
localized content. South Americans can now watch content created in
Asia just as easily as a boy who lives in a rural village can watch
content from the next town over.
45
OBTAINING INTERNET STARDOM
There are several techniques NNH creators use to maintain
engaged audiences.
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CREATORS ADHERE TO A
STRATEGIC FORMULA
46
For the time being, traditional media stars remain the most widely recognizable and financially
successful. As this era of New New Hollywood continues to become normalized, however, the
path to stardom seems to be shifting.
Among the most successful New New Hollywood stars, there are 5 distinct factors that always
play a role in developing massive online audiences:
1. Cross Platform
2. Authenticity
3. Collaboration
4. Diversity
5. Consistency
ESTABLISH AN ‘ALWAYS ON’ SOCIAL
MEDIA PRESENCE
47
Creating content and uploading it to the Web is not enough to develop a successful career in
new media. New New Hollywood stars are incredibly dependent on social media platforms to
promote their content. Facebook fan pages, Twitter, and Tumblr also serve as communication
lines between creators and their viewers — as well as fan-to-fan communication. Maintaining
an active social media presence allows viewers to feel connected to creators even though they
may never meet.
SHARE THE MOST AUTHENTIC SELF
POSSIBLE
48
At this point, the public meltdown has become a commonplace occurrence in celebrity culture. There are
certainly plenty of examples of meltdowns in the new media space as well. This type of raw, unfiltered
authenticity is another factor in developing strong relationships with viewers. Many creators disregard the
fourth wall in their content, often addressing their viewers directly to make confessions ranging from
skipping showers to battling mental illness.
CREATORS LEAN INTO THEIR NETWORKS, RELYING ON
COLLABORATION OVER COMPETITION
49
Collaboration is one of the most powerful tools in a new media creator’s arsenal. When new media
creators collaborate, they are gaining exposure with an audience that may be unfamiliar with their content.
Collab projects are some of the highest viewed content in the new media space, so it is no surprise that
many new media creators relocate to L.A. to have better access to a wider community of collab partners.
THERE IS NOW AN INFINITE NUMBER OF DIVERSE
PERSPECTIVES AND EXPERIENCES ONLINE
50
Diversity sets New New Hollywood apart from traditional media. There is definitely a long way to go
regarding diversity, as many creators have pointed out systemic racial issues reflected in the way
platforms feature and promote creators. Despite this, the very low barrier to entry allows individuals from
all different backgrounds to share their unique perspective with the world. While representation of
diversity in traditional media has remained disappointingly unchanged, many viewers see POC and Queer
creators as the few authentic representations of themselves in popular culture.

YouTube.
A CONSISTENT PUBLISHING SCHEDULE
ALLOWS FOR A WEALTH OF FEEDBACK AND
REITERATION
51
Few creators gain millions of viewers overnight. For many, it took years of posting regular content (daily in
some cases) to grow their audiences. Developing a set schedule for posting content provides a structure
and sense of familiarity. In addition, creators are likely to get regular feedback when they have a set
schedule for content. This allows them to refine the creative process and cater to their audiences’
preferences, such as post time, collab partners, and themes.
52
WHAT’S NEXT FOR NEW NEW HOLLYWOOD?
TODAYS CREATORS WILL BE
TOMORROW’S POLITICIANS
53
First and foremost, we will continue to see a blending of new media and old. More mainstream celebrities
are evolving their digital brands, recognizing their fans’ desire for more connection and authenticity. Next,
NNH moves from entertainment to politics. NNH creators are already far surpassing politicians with
regards to influence on the world’s young people. Once these creators begin giving political endorsements,
(a practice already typical of mainstream celebrities), it won’t be long before they are endorsing each other.
Consider also that these creators are no strangers to democracy, they are constantly taking viewer
feedback to inspire new content — and next, legislation.
9 TIPS FOR BRANDS
54
1. Watch New New Hollywood content!
New media is a fantastic place to
observe and learn more about
emerging cultural trends.
2. Reach out to a new media creator.
Ask him or her to come to your office
and share their thoughts about the
changing world of marketing and
entertainment with your team.
3. Decide if your brand DNA allows for
participation in new media.
NOVICE EXPERIENCED EXPERT
1. Allocate a budget for new media
exploration. Use this budget for
collaborations with established
creators or for developing internal
talent.
2. Establish a relationship with the
creator network. Meet with an MCN
or creative studio to learn more about
their services and network of
creators.
3. Attend a new media event. This is the
best way to get a feel for the energy
and momentum behind this
movement.
1. Create a new media app. Leverage
connections with existing creators to
create a new content network.
2. Sponsor a new media event, or start
an entirely new one! Providing
opportunities for creators and their
viewers to meet and interact is one of
the biggest white spaces ripe for
development!
3. Invest in developing new media talent,
such as creating studio space for
creators or promoting undiscovered
talent.

Celebrity 2.0: New New Hollywood is Breaking All The Rules

  • 1. CELEBRITY 2.0 NEW NEW HOLLYWOOD IS BREAKING ALL THE RULES
  • 2. The rise of the creative class is reshaping media and redefining fame and celebrity. The balance of power has shifted from producers, studios, broadcast networks, etc., to the new creative talent. We call this creative class “New New Hollywood” (NNH). But what’s really profound is the power that these NNH creators wield. NNH personalities have enormous fan bases with extraordinary loyalty and unprecedented engagement - fanatical, in fact. For example, Nicki Minaj (a traditional celebrity) has <9.5 million fans on YouTube and Hillary Clinton has <5mil Twitter fans, while PewDiePie (a NNH celebrity) commands an audience of nearly 40 million on YouTube. NNH has so much influence it could single-handedly reshape culture and society, let alone brand preferences. NNH could even swing the 2016 presidential election! Brands need to leverage NNH, but to do so, they need to understand the context and unique ways in which NNH operates. The rules of engagement are very different. This report sets out to shed light on one of the most important cultural forces at work today: NEW NEW HOLLYWOOD. 2
  • 3. 3 SHIFTING BALANCE OF POWER: There have been sweeping changes in multiple industries, shifting from centralized authorities to sharing networks, for example…
  • 4. Source: Nielson, Billboard 12.5% DECREASE in music track sales, including digital purchases. SHIFTING BALANCE OF POWER: FREEMIUM MUSIC 4 Music streaming services have recently exploded in popularity. Spotify appears to be the juggernaut that has constructed a sweet spot in the Freemium space. However, competitors like SoundCloud,TIDAL, Apple Music and soon Facebook Music are all attempting to perfect the formula for a highly demanded service. OVER 164B Songs were streamed on-demand through audio and video platforms in 2014.
  • 5. Source: Khan Academy Press Room 580 MILLION lessons delivered on Khan Academy. SHIFTING BALANCE OF POWER: EDUCATION HACKING 5 The next generation will be the most educated in history, yet some argue that bureaucracy prevents the education system from adapting to rapidly changing economic and business environments. As a result, more people are turning to nontraditional education options, including homeschooling and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Khan Academy is one example of an education portal that provides entirely free subject lessons and practice problems online.
  • 6. Source: globalvoices.org SHIFTING BALANCE OF POWER: CITIZEN JOURNALISM 6 Increasing access to mobile technology and data plans has enabled civilians from around the world to assume the role of citizen journalists. While citizen journalism is scrutinized for lack of professional fact-checking and inciting mob mentality, mainstream news networks will often air or publish civilian-submitted stories. Furthermore, several regions have used social media to express political views and organize protests. In Ukraine, daily tweets nearly tripled after civilian fatalities during February 2014 protests.
  • 7. 7 DECLINE OF TRADITIONAL MEDIA The ways in which we access entertainment, content, and information are changing, for example…

While these conglomerates have astounding budgets for their content, many of them cling to outdated media practices. As a result, mainstream American media still struggles to successfully represent diversity and authenticity. Traditional media isn’t going anywhere, there will always be a demand for big blockbuster movies and major celebrities. However, one cannot disregard the rise of New New Hollywood and its growing influence on culture. Comcast $44.1 Billion 21st Century Fox $31.8 Billion Walt Disney Co. $48.8 Billion CBS Corp. $13.8 Billion Viacom $13.7 Billion Time Warner Cable $22.8 Billion

CABLE IS STAGNATING 9 Speculation about a wave of cable cutting — when a consumer cancels a cable TV subscription in favor of Internet-only service — has shaken up the cable networks sector. While consumer interest in new cable subscriptions becomes stagnant, the movie industry struggles to fill theaters. Torrenting culture has normalized free, quality content available at the consumer’s convenience.

  • 12. Source: Pew Research Center, comScore 64% of American adults now own a smartphone. 60% of time spent consuming digital media occurs on mobile phones. MOBILE IS NOW THE NEW #1 FOR CONTENT CONSUMPTION 12 We are also seeing dramatic shifts in the way people consume media, specifically the time spent watching and the device they are watching on. As consumers are adopting these digital services that allow them to stream from any internet connected device, media consumption on tablets and smartphones is rapidly increasing (surpassing desktop usage for the first time in 2014). Currently, brands are spending more ad dollars on TV media when in reality, the majority of engaged consumption occurs on mobile devices.
  • 13. Source: Pew Research Center 46% of adult internet users post original photos or videos online. APPOINTMENT VIEWING IS DEAD 13 Prior to new media platforms, creators would post their content on blogs or personal websites. While users could bookmark or manually navigate to these sites, it didn’t ensure that users would stay up to date on new content. In contrast, new media emphasizes the follow/subscribe feature. Subscribe functionality varies by platform, but it generally involves opting in to receive updates when a creator posts new content. This distinguishes new media from old, as individual consumers have replaced media conglomerates as the gatekeepers, deciding which creators are featured on media platforms.

VINE IS THE MOST SNACKABLE FORM OF STORYTELLING 18 Founded in 2012, this new media platform is all about sharing short-form videos. 6-second videos, to be exact. While some might see a 6-second window as extremely limiting, the users who demonstrated the most creativity quickly garnered sizable audiences.
  • 19. Source: Twitch PR Director TWITCH OFFERS THE MOST IMMERSIVE LIVE CONTENT 19 Founded in June 2011, Twitch is the world’s leading social video platform and community for gamers. Twitch’s live and video on demand platform caters to the entire video game industry.

INSTAGRAM IS #1 IN SOCIAL PHOTO SHARING 20 Instagram is the dominant photo and YouTube sharing service. Instagram launched in 2010 with a focus on the mobile experience, although it can be accessed via desktop as well. With a massive user base and dedicated Discover functionality, Instagram is yet another new media platform that highlights creativity and curation.

The app allows users to share photos and videos with individuals on their contact lists or upload content to a Story which is viewable by anyone who follows that user. The feature that has helped Snapchat explode in popularity is the ephemerality of sharing: individual messages will disappear after viewing, while Stories disappear after 24 hours.
  • 22. Source: Periscope Blog, Tech Crunch, 1.1M videos were shared on Beme within just 8 days of the app’s launch. Periscope gained 10M users just 4 months after launch. NEW PLATFORMS ARE CONSTANTLY EMERGING IN THE NEW MEDIA SPACE 22 An exciting aspect of the new media industry is that it is constantly evolving. Multiple new platforms launched within the last year, including Periscope, Meerkat and Beme. If these names don’t sound familiar, they will soon. Their user base is quickly growing, and we are already beginning to see creators shape the content and community on these platforms.

What sponsored posts have gotten us to take an action and comment and like? Does this post feel relevant and authentic? Do we want to hang out with the person behind the profile?

In order for a great collaboration to work, it needs to be a marriage of the two brand visions, and that’s how you’ll break the internet.” -sew_sketchy, 22.4k followers “Traditional flashy ads all over the page have a tendency of diluting the streamers’ value and making them look like a "sellout" which loses their ability to sell their viewers on a product or service.” -KittyPlaysGames, 600k followers “Trust in my ideas. I know my fans and I know what will get them thinking and interested…it’s important for me to feel relatable with my audience.” -Lele Pons, 9m followers
  • 34. MULTICHANNEL NETWORKS (MCN) & TALENT AGENCIES 34 As creators’ audiences grew to rival those of mainstream cable networks, several other MCNs were created to cater to a variety of new media creators. MCNs represent a variety of talent across genres and social platforms.

  • 35. ORIGINAL NETWORKS WERE BORN FROM NNH CREATORS 35 After successful new media creators began to develop their own network, many of them recognized the need for professional representation. While some partnered with traditional talent agencies, others wanted agents and managers that understood the rapidly changing world of new media. Thus, a group of creators created the first multichannel network: Maker Studios. Maker served as a creative network, providing talent with equipment, studio space and access to management and representation.
  • 36. THE ROLE OF AN MCN IS A HYBRID OF STUDIO, AGENT AND PROMOTER 36 New media creators are attracted to MCN partnerships because they provide a variety of resources without attempting to take ownership or creative control over the content. MCNs play a supportive role, taking care of brand relationships, negotiations and sometimes even editing and data analytics needs so that creators can focus on creating quality content.
  • 37. MCNS ARE NOT EXPLOITING CREATORS 37 While brands certainly have the opportunity to help develop this new sector of media and entertainment, there are examples of traditional media outlets hindering the success of new media creators. The rock group, Unlocking the Truth, is one such example. After one of its live Brooklyn performances went viral, the teens were signed by Sony for $1.8M. Unfortunately, the boys struggled to adapt to the corporate circus and felt they were sacrificing their artistic integrity for the sake of the contract.
  • 38. 38 Fandom NNH FANDOM The culture of NNH fans is like no other, and almost as influential as the creators themselves.
  • 39. FAN COMMUNITIES ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF NNH 39 New New Hollywood stars would be nothing without their audiences. One key tactic for developing a dedicated and engaged audience is to foster a strong sense of community between the creator and the audience as well as between audience members. Creators are often very careful not to label their audience as fans. To both creator and viewers, the relationship is far more intimate than a typical celebrity/fan relationship. Creators are often sharing their personal lives or passion projects to be consumed by viewers in the intimacy of their own bedrooms.
  • 40. VIEWERS WILL TRAVEL, QUEUE, AND PURCHASE WITH FERVOR 40 Successful new media creators experience a celebrity status akin to mainstream celebrities. For thousands of fans the chance to meet their favorite new media star is priceless, including the hours of wait time, travel costs and VIP access for meet and greets. Many new media creators open online merch stores as a source of added revenue, and new T-shirt and hoodie designs will often sell out within hours. In 2013, a twerking Tyler Oakley instigated the entire Staples Center to chant his name at a Tyler Oakley concert, a small feat for someone who can routinely start globally trending hashtags on Twitter.
  • 41. NNH EVENTS WILL BECOME THE COMIC CON OF TOMORROW 41 Similar to many other special interest communities, there are several specific events focused entirely on New Media that provide an opportunity for fans to meet their favorite creators in real life. While tickets to these events are typically not cheap, they include access to multiple days of entertainment, education and merch. VIDCON The largest convention for online media, providing a space for creators, viewers and industry reps to meet, communicate and learn. Attendance: 19,500 PLAYLIST LIVE An annual event hosted in Orlando, FL, bringing creators and their supporters together for 3 days of interactive activities and experiences. This year, Playlist Live will also be held in Washington, D.C. Attendance: 8,000 DIGITOUR DigiTour is the world’s first social media tour and festival, taking place in cities all over the world showcasing popular talent from YouTube, Vine, Twitter and Instagram. Attendance: 110,000 BUFFERFESTIVAL Combining YouTube content and a film festival, multiple theaters will showcase YouTube videos from specific genres or themes. The content creators are in attendance for intimate Q&A sessions with the audience. Attendance: 100s
  • 42. FANDOMS REMIX AND CREATE NEW, ORIGINAL CONTENT 42 For creative fans, creators are the perfect muse. They’ll draw portraits, write fan fiction, and create an infinite number of GIFs and memes to share within their fandom. Creators are happy to feature this work, and will often incorporate fan designs and soundtracks into their content, social profiles and merchandise.
  • 43. VIRAL SHARING CREATES NEW ICONS IN COMMON CULTURE 43 The creation and sharing of Internet memes has become a normalized form of communication. While many memes are created using stock images or illustrations, some memes are created when a candid photo goes viral. The subjects of these photos, such as Grumpy Cat or Overly Attached Girlfriend, gain a type of celebrity status due to their widespread recognizability.
  • 44. Source: YouTube Statistics, YouTube Statistics YouTube is available in 61 languages. ~60% of creators’ views come from outside their home country. GLOBAL AUDIENCES ARE SHAPING A NEW, UNIVERSAL FORM OF COMMUNICATION 44 The New New Hollywood audience is markedly international. Wherever one can find an Internet or network connection, new media can be accessed. Without a dependency on distribution channels (movie theaters, cable networks) audiences are no longer limited to localized content. South Americans can now watch content created in Asia just as easily as a boy who lives in a rural village can watch content from the next town over.
  • 45. 45 OBTAINING INTERNET STARDOM There are several techniques NNH creators use to maintain engaged audiences.
  • 46. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CREATORS ADHERE TO A STRATEGIC FORMULA 46 For the time being, traditional media stars remain the most widely recognizable and financially successful. As this era of New New Hollywood continues to become normalized, however, the path to stardom seems to be shifting. Among the most successful New New Hollywood stars, there are 5 distinct factors that always play a role in developing massive online audiences: 1. Cross Platform 2. Authenticity 3. Collaboration 4. Diversity 5. Consistency
  • 47. ESTABLISH AN ‘ALWAYS ON’ SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE 47 Creating content and uploading it to the Web is not enough to develop a successful career in new media. New New Hollywood stars are incredibly dependent on social media platforms to promote their content. Facebook fan pages, Twitter, and Tumblr also serve as communication lines between creators and their viewers — as well as fan-to-fan communication. Maintaining an active social media presence allows viewers to feel connected to creators even though they may never meet.
  • 48. SHARE THE MOST AUTHENTIC SELF POSSIBLE 48 At this point, the public meltdown has become a commonplace occurrence in celebrity culture. There are certainly plenty of examples of meltdowns in the new media space as well. This type of raw, unfiltered authenticity is another factor in developing strong relationships with viewers. Many creators disregard the fourth wall in their content, often addressing their viewers directly to make confessions ranging from skipping showers to battling mental illness.
  • 49. CREATORS LEAN INTO THEIR NETWORKS, RELYING ON COLLABORATION OVER COMPETITION 49 Collaboration is one of the most powerful tools in a new media creator’s arsenal. When new media creators collaborate, they are gaining exposure with an audience that may be unfamiliar with their content. Collab projects are some of the highest viewed content in the new media space, so it is no surprise that many new media creators relocate to L.A. to have better access to a wider community of collab partners.
  • 50. THERE IS NOW AN INFINITE NUMBER OF DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND EXPERIENCES ONLINE 50 Diversity sets New New Hollywood apart from traditional media. There is definitely a long way to go regarding diversity, as many creators have pointed out systemic racial issues reflected in the way platforms feature and promote creators. Despite this, the very low barrier to entry allows individuals from all different backgrounds to share their unique perspective with the world. While representation of diversity in traditional media has remained disappointingly unchanged, many viewers see POC and Queer creators as the few authentic representations of themselves in popular culture. Tyler Oakley, an openly gay YouTuber, has over 7.5M SUBSCRIBERS ~540,000 results for transgender content on YouTube.
  • 51. A CONSISTENT PUBLISHING SCHEDULE ALLOWS FOR A WEALTH OF FEEDBACK AND REITERATION 51 Few creators gain millions of viewers overnight. For many, it took years of posting regular content (daily in some cases) to grow their audiences. Developing a set schedule for posting content provides a structure and sense of familiarity. In addition, creators are likely to get regular feedback when they have a set schedule for content. This allows them to refine the creative process and cater to their audiences’ preferences, such as post time, collab partners, and themes.
  • 52. 52 WHAT’S NEXT FOR NEW NEW HOLLYWOOD?
  • 53. TODAYS CREATORS WILL BE TOMORROW’S POLITICIANS 53 First and foremost, we will continue to see a blending of new media and old. More mainstream celebrities are evolving their digital brands, recognizing their fans’ desire for more connection and authenticity. Next, NNH moves from entertainment to politics. NNH creators are already far surpassing politicians with regards to influence on the world’s young people. Once these creators begin giving political endorsements, (a practice already typical of mainstream celebrities), it won’t be long before they are endorsing each other. Consider also that these creators are no strangers to democracy, they are constantly taking viewer feedback to inspire new content — and next, legislation.
  • 54. 9 TIPS FOR BRANDS 54 1. Watch New New Hollywood content! New media is a fantastic place to observe and learn more about emerging cultural trends. 2. Reach out to a new media creator. Ask him or her to come to your office and share their thoughts about the changing world of marketing and entertainment with your team. 3. Decide if your brand DNA allows for participation in new media. NOVICE EXPERIENCED EXPERT 1. Allocate a budget for new media exploration. Use this budget for collaborations with established creators or for developing internal talent. 2. Establish a relationship with the creator network. Meet with an MCN or creative studio to learn more about their services and network of creators. 3. Attend a new media event. This is the best way to get a feel for the energy and momentum behind this movement. 1. Create a new media app. Leverage connections with existing creators to create a new content network. 2. Sponsor a new media event, or start an entirely new one! Providing opportunities for creators and their viewers to meet and interact is one of the biggest white spaces ripe for development! 3. Invest in developing new media talent, such as creating studio space for creators or promoting undiscovered talent.
