Welcome, fellow netizens, to a crash course in “memery”! In the digital age, where the weirdest wins and the wittiest reign supreme, memes have emerged as the supreme ruler of the internet.

Ever heard the saying, “Life is better when you’re laughing?” Well, get ready to put it to the test as we debunk the myth that serious content is the only path to digital marketing success.

Let’s LOL, ROFL and may be even snort out your coffee as we learn about the world of memes!

 A is for authenticity: The first rule of memes 101 is “Keep it real”! Authenticity is the secret sauce that makes memes “meme-tastic”. Memes are just like little windows to your brand’s soul. Whether you’re serving up relatable content or cracking some hilarious puns, always stay true to who you are. After all, the best memes come from the heart!

Imagine scrolling through your feed when suddenly, WHAM! A meme strikes your funny bone. What makes it so hilarious? It’s authentic, it’s genuine and it’s all about YOU! For example, picture a meme capturing a relatable office moment with a witty caption like, “When it’s only Tuesday and you’ve already had three cups of coffee!” Craft memes showcasing real-life industry scenarios, behind-the-scenes glimpses, humorous takes on common challenges or celebrations of your brand’s quirks.

Pro tip: Don’t try too hard to be cool; just let your brand’s personality shine through. Embrace your brand’s quirks and let the meme magic happen naturally!

B is for buzzworthy: Want your memes to go viral faster than you can say “dank”? Then they better be buzzworthy! Memes are all about catching lightning in a bottle – or in this case, a GIF. They thrive on the latest trends, so keep your finger on the pulse of pop culture, stay up-to-date and be ready to pounce on meme-worthy moments as they arise. For instance, a meme incorporating a trending song lyrics with a humorous image, like, “When your coffee kicks in and you feel like dancing to the latest viral song!”

Need the buzz? Utilise trending topics or viral challenges; pop culture references such as movie songs and lyrics, etc. that are currently popular or making headlines; or incorporate current events or news stories into your memes, but be sure to do so tastefully and with sensitivity to the topic at hand.

Pro tip: Remember, timing is key in the fast-paced world of memes! Stay current, relevant and in tune with what’s happening in the digital world. Strike while the meme-iron is hot and you’ll have them laughing all the way to the share button.

C is for creativity: When it comes to memes, creativity isn’t just king — it’s the whole royal family! Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and push the boundaries of what is possible. Whether you’re remixing classic memes or creating your own masterpieces with your own unique twist, let your imagination run wild than a pack of caffeine-fuelled squirrels! After all, the internet is like your own backyard – so get a little mischievous and make some digital wonders!

You can create custom memes using your own brand image or characters; experiment with different formats and styles such as image macros, also known as picture captions or visual jokes, reaction memes, or GIFs; put a creative twist on classic memes by adding your own unique captions, visuals or elements that reflect your brand’s personality and tone; or host meme challenges or contests where followers can submit their own creative memes related to your brand or industry.

Pro tip: Don’t be afraid to get weird! Push the boundaries and try new things. Let your imagination soar! Set free your creative side: The internet is your canvas, so paint outside the lines and watch the likes roll in.

 D is for driving engagement: Brace yourselves, because we’re about to take engagement to a whole new level! Memes are more than just funny pictures; they’re a powerful tool for driving engagement. Whether you’re sparking conversations, encouraging user-generated content or simply giving your audience a good ol’ belly laugh, memes have the power to unite us all in laughter!

Say for instance, a meme asking followers to choose between two humorous options, like “Would you rather have your coffee crash or your website?” Get your audience involved with fun formats like fill-in-the-blank, polls or challenges; spark conversations or debates with shareable memes; showcase user-generated memes to foster community; encourage likes, shares and comments; or prompt immediate responses with clear instructions paired with engaging memes.

Pro tip: Get interactive! The key to driving engagement with memes is to create content that resonates with your audience and encourages them to interact with your brand.

And there you have it, my friends! From authenticity to engagement, these ABCDs of memes are your ticket to “meme-ifying” your brand like never before and take it to the next level.

The internet is your playground – so grab your keyboard, fire up your creative engines and let’s make some “meme-tastic” memories together!
