WHAT THE HECK IS A HUGEPLATEOFKETCHUP8?

  • There is no meaning behind my username, but I know that Gen Z lives for randomness and it feels very inline with my generation.

  • I grew my page initially by putting up stickers around my town, creating memes for larger pages for shoutouts, and posting 3 original memes everyday for years. I created the Perhaps Cow format in 2017, which really helped me take off. It's always been me and just me running this page.

  • I have created a personality-infused meme page, which is very hard to do and is what separates me from other meme pages.
    • My followers interact at a higher rate than normal because they know I am bound to respond and joke around with them.

  • My audience is extremely loyal and knows a lot about who I am and is always supportive of my collabs and ventures.

MY STYLE: WHAT WORKS?

  • Impact font is king, but it’s not required for success

  • Meme arcs: making multiple memes about one topic in a row

  • Creating lore: extremely niche jokes that the audience I have curated understands and those that do REALLY love it [You have to follow to really understand the meme]

  • Scratching a “nostalgia itch” in my audience’s brain, getting across the feeling of "OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!"

WHAT IS A MEME ARC?

  • A meme arc is a series of memes that are all about one idea or joke. They can be about anything, like onions for example.

  • The idea is to get my audience to expect the next post, leading to higher levels of baseline engagement.

  • Making a lot of posts about one topic can get you on the IG explore page consistently.

It wouldn't be a meme if just I posted about it…..

Someone created an audio of my meme and it became a trend on TikTok

RED ROOF INN CASE STUDY

In 2021, I predicted the meme future.

I posted one meme that would only make sense on an exact date and time in the near future.

A picture of a Red Roof Inn was in the background of the image.

I got in contact with the motel chain on Instagram to collaborate on a post…..

RED ROOF INN CASE STUDY

Most likes ever on RedRoof's IG

On Jan 13th I posted a meme that directed my followers to go to Red Roof Inn's own Instagram page who also posted at the same time as me.

This caused my followers to love Red Roof Inn and follow their page, resulting in a 5% increase in followers.

I GET BRAND SOCIAL LIMITS

  • I understand that brands must adhere to copyright law and can be very selective with the media/jokes I use.

  • I am very comfortable working with a brand's Creative Director to make sure all colors, themes, and jokes are in the vision for the brand.

  • I am happy and eager to take edits and make changes to content and do not feel bad about making tons of changes to the content I am producing.

  • I am a professional and am quick with turnaround times and reliable over email.

HOW COULD WE WORK TOGETHER?

  • Meme arcs
    • Multiple posts over long periods of time that create lore and inside jokes within the campaign. We'd collab post on IG.
  • Multiple meme page collabs
    • With my extensive network and connections with meme pages, I can run an influencer campaign that is way more than just my account posting.
    • I can handle all of the outreach legwork and collab in tandem with your influencer management team.
  • UGC video creation
    • I'd be very excited to make brand video content in collaboration, in either of the styles I've referenced in Slides 12/13.
