Brands will finally come to terms with the fact that their own content is usually not as compelling as the content already produced, collected, and shared by their consumers. It’s time for brands to evolve from producers and distributors to collectors and curators.

Brand marketers will move budget dollars away from classic campaigns and into people that can create killer content.
This will create a new market for exceptional writers, videographers, illustrators, cartoonists, storytellers, singers, musicians and game developers. Maybe even dancers and yodelers. Basically, anyone that has the creativity to capture and charm an audience.
