Quotes:

 

Robert: “It’s about building an audience that will take an action. They’ll share. They’ll stay. They’ll comment. They’ll evangelize. It’s about building an ecosystem where they’ll want to stick around.” (15:42)

 

Joe: “Don’t get hung up on the term NFTs or social tokens because all of that is going to change.” (18:09)

 

Robert: “[HBO Max and Discovery] a perfect merger. The audiences are very different. I think the interesting thing is what’s going to happen to AT&T?... Does it get acquired again? Will Comcast buy it up?” (27:16)

 

Joe: “I think you’re going to see more and more of this consolidation… These are going to buy each other up and you’re going to have partnerships where they’re going to be buying each other up.” (29:24)

 

Robert: “If you’re a content creator, a brand or something in between, you should be thinking about how are you building your wall garden. How are you building an island where people want to stay?” (31:57)

 

Joe: “[Acura] made the NFT about the art. The NFT is about access to getting this amazing car. They missed it.” (43:15)

 

Robert: “Right or wrong right now what we’re seeing with the brands most closely aligned with content marketing is how do we deliver interesting and valuable experiences to consumers to make them interested.” (47:41)
