Six well-known social media influencers share tips on content creation

Considering people have been stuck at their homes, and will be, for a few more days to come at least, people have been increasingly consuming content online, which has given influencer marketing a boost. In a riveting conversation around how the influencer marketing ecosystem is shaping up moderated by Varun Duggirala, Content Chief &amp; Co-founder, The Glitch with Apaksh Gupta, Founder &amp; CEO, One Impression; Sejal Kumar, YouTuber, Actor and Singer; Be YouNick, YouTuber and Content Creator; and Viraj Sheth, Co-founder and CEO, Monk Entertainment spoke about their individual experiences and their views on what lies in the future, for the creators as well as the industry in general. <div type="twitter" handle="BiIndia" handlename="Business Insider India🇮🇳" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1232926719016718336/sfffJHNV_normal.jpg" favoritecount="33" retweetcount="10" status=".@varunduggi, @followtheglitch, @apaksh537, One Impression, @viraj_sheth, @MonkEtweets in conversation along with Y… https://t.co/35bOkJBauy" createdat="1586171138000" id="1247118262497726464"></div> Speaking about how the industry is shaping up right now, what are the kinds of brands that are investing on influencers, Sheth said, “Currently, a lot of people feel that marketing spends will move to Digital and influencers because there’s not going to be any outdoor productions. Nobody is outdoors so there’s no point spending on billboards and hoardings. The other thing is, even with Digital, when brands create content, they have a big team around it, where they get a production agency and a talent team. But right now, even that’s not going to happen. The only thing is to engage with a lot of content creators and influencers through their own native content pieces. I have been seeing a lot of opportunities but in general since the market is down, its players in e-sports, e-learning or these apps that don’t have any manufacturing liabilities that are spending right now.” Seconding Sheth, Gupta said, “The net impact is negative as many brands from the FMCG sector who are not spending because of logistics issues and e-commerce platforms such as Flipkart and Amazon are a huge part of their spend. However, a lot of companies from the gaming sector, education and finance have increased their budgets tremendously because they have no barriers. Secondly, it is an opportunity for them to become an integral part of user behaviour. So we have seen certain categories go really crazy on their spends right now.” The lockdown comes with its limitations. As a content creator, it can be challenging to stay motivated and be creative. However, for Sejal Kumar, who started her journey as a content creator with a tiny tripod and her parents as her camera crew, house arrest hasn’t really impacted her content. It has, in fact, pushed her to come up with newer ideas, make do with limited resources and reflect on her long-term strategy. Kumar said, “It is nice to go back to the way I started. It has been annoying for my parents to keep helping me but I like it because it is relaxing and less stressful. This is helping me think a little bit differently. However, it is overbearing when people tell me to make more content because people are at home and consuming it more than ever, I’m not taking too much stress about that. I do what I want to, I take more time out for myself.” Nick went live on Instagram a year ago and now, that is his primary medium to connect with his followers. He has put YouTube on hold. He said, “I work with a team and our creation process isn’t exactly raw. We work with good equipment and a proper setup. So currently, I am making all the content that I can create from home. It is all really short and crisp content that you can post on your Instagram rather than on YouTube.” Brands have turned to digital influencers as consumption and engagement on social media platforms continue to see a significant rise. Pinterest has added 40 million users in the last month. Giants like WHO and Dettol have also recognised the potential in TikTok's reach. With TV production on hold, Gupta said the influencer marketing industry is only going to grow from here and lead the way. He said, "People and brands who were not thinking of influencer marketing as a channel, who were spending between 1% to 4%, are looking at it in a major way. While the net impact might be negative at the moment, when things go back to normal, influencer marketing is going to blow up. It is going to be four to five years ahead in the industry." On what lies ahead for him in the next few weeks, Nick said that he had been waiting to work on a bigger piece of content that he has finally found the time to work on. “While I have not yet decided what platform to put it out on, I am very happy to be finally able to work on a bigger piece of content.” Kumar thinks that once we resume normalcy, there is going to be a big change in the working environment. Organisations will continue using digital mediums. She said, “They will try to remove activities that do not require people to be in the same room. The process will become obsolete; it is going to be the same with creators as well. For collabs, we may not need to meet people physically.” On what lies ahead for Monk Entertainment, Sheth explained, “As an organization, our next plan is to figure out how to re-initiate lot of the new wings we had created because after this ends, brands will go all out in terms of spending. Over the last 2-3 months, brands, especially FMCG players, haven’t had enough exposure to the audiences. So the goal is to be able to capitalize on that opportunity.”

Concerts are now virtual on BookMyShow, Birthday Parties are being held on Zoom, and Gym time is on digital fitness platforms. Brands have also postponed or cancelled their campaigns and are rethinking their marketing strategy for the rest of the year. With advertisements production and shoots on hold, brands have turned to content creators and digital influencers as consumption and engagement on social media platforms have seen a significant rise. From WHO’s collaboration with ‘Dude with a Sign’ to Dettol’s #HandWashingChallenge on TikTok, brands are using social media’s power in every possible way to spread awareness around COVID-19 and the precautions that can be taken during this crisis. Influencers are further helping them to amplify the campaign and create a momentum. According to BARC’s latest report, people have increased their time spent on chatting by 23% and on social networking apps by 25%. Brands have therefore realised that the influencer marketing model is well-suited in a time in which the audience is looking for some inspiration, DIY videos, cooking tutorials or is curious to learn more about fitness and self care.

<ul><li>We have grown up whispering every time we had to buy sanitary napkins that would then be covered in black polythene and handed over. </li><li>Years of social conditioning have built a culture of silence around menstruation. </li><li>To address the challenges of maintaining <keyword id="584178" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="menstrual-hygiene">menstrual hygiene</keyword> amid a pandemic-induced lockdown and break the taboos around it, feminine care brands have launched awareness campaigns on <keyword id="4584427" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-menstrual-hygiene-day">World Menstrual Hygiene Day</keyword>. </li></ul>Every year, on May 28, sanitary napkin brands come forward to raise awareness around menstrual hygiene, which is still a taboo in India. And periods don’t stop for pandemics. In fact, lockdowns intensify the impact of household level taboos and stigmas on women -- making it more difficult to manage menstruation without shame and discomfort in confined spaces. According to UNICEF, 70% of healthcare workers are women, and shortages of essential menstrual hygiene products like sanitary pads or tampons are already affecting certain populations. Therefore, to break the persisting stigma around menstruation, help women accept their bodies a little more and to make sure they follow safe menstrual hygiene, brands like Whisper, Stayfree, Pee Safe, Rio and UNICEF have launched powerful campaigns this year marking Menstrual Hygiene Day. Whisper’s #KeepGirlsInSchool Moving forward with their #KeepGirlsInSchool movement, Whisper India launched ‘Mobileshaala’ today, an initiative to provide free education while schools across the country remain closed. School closures due to the ongoing pandemic could lead to increased drop-out rates, disproportionately affecting adolescent girls. While closing down schools temporarily might help contain the virus, it could have a permanent effect on the future of many - especially marginalized girls, who are now even more vulnerable to dropping out of school in the absence of structured education. Uninterrupted learning is of utmost importance for these girls. With ‘Mobileshaala’, Whisper aims to #KeepGirlsInSchool. It is a phone-based learning system that gives free access to curriculum-based education modules on key subjects like English, Science and menstrual hygiene education. <div type="Youtube" id="aNBb-mvU4c4" title="Whisper MobileShaala" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aNBb-mvU4c4/mqdefault.jpg"></div> UNICEF The UNICEF has launched a week-long campaign called #RedDotChallenge to ensure all girls manage their periods safely and with dignity. Organisation’s National Youth Ambassador Hima Das and celebrities like Sejal Kumar, Meghna Kaur, Aashna Shroff, Manushi Chillar and Dia Mirza, Aditi Rao Hydari, Diana Penty, Neeru Bajwa came forward to support the movement. <div type="javascript" title="Instagram" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> Pee Safe’s #BleedYourWay Pee Safe has launched #bleedyourway, an integrated campaign, marking Menstrual Hygiene Day with known faces including Kirti Kulhari and Sayani Gupta, among others. Pee Safe aims to break the taboo around menstruation and encourage women to #bleedyourway. Pee Safe’s campaign addresses some prominent themes including sex during periods, vaginal health, use of sustainable period care products, PMS, among others. The brand will also be distributing menstrual cups to underprivileged girls through an NGO. <div type="Youtube" id="vqYO_QyrTdU" title="जिस सोच ने आज बर्बाद किया, उस सोच को आज बदलते हैं | Pallavi Mahajan | STAGE" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vqYO_QyrTdU/mqdefault.jpg"></div> RIO In our society, women have normalized the extremeness of their period due to lack of awareness about heavy flow and therefore do not realize that their condition might require them to use different products than the norm. This often results in leakage, staining, the napkin overflowing, a higher rate of infections because of leaving on a full pad for longer than it should in addition to rashes and discomfort because of having to compensate by using multiple pads at once. All of these are signs of poor menstrual hygiene practices. This year on Menstrual Hygiene Day, the brand addressed this issue through a campaign with a series of analogies to showcase how women feel when they use a regular napkin during heavy flow and calls out the oxymoronic habit that we have become accustomed with. This is questioned through instances that elaborate on the need for the usage of the right product that can handle heavy flow, which is essential for good menstrual hygiene. <div type="javascript" title="Instagram" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div>
