@KarlHavard

Why does all this matter? There are passionate people creating content

on the web About any subject you can imagine

Identity, recognition and status is important.What can a brand do here?

Understanding the “why” can help brands/

business better understand how to “engage”

On their terms and “passion points”

A “Go to them” approach, to compliment and

potentially shape a “Come to me” one
