Key Takeaways

1

Adopt an 'advert-first' business strategy by ensuring a concept can be compressed into a high-emotion 'sticky idea' that grabs attention in a two-second feed scroll.

2

Leverage the 'social graph effect' to drive virality by creating tools, like 360-degree personality tests, that require the involvement of a user's friends and family to function.

3

Capitalize on 'personal consumerism' by building businesses around deep data about the self, such as high-resolution iris art or quantified health metrics that people are intrinsically motivated to share.
