How to Get Started

First, consider your audience. Does your target audience have a similar interest or knowledge base that would be good material for a joke? If your audience is familiar with popular memes, you may be able to alter a well-known meme to fit your brand in a funny or trendy way. Companies have hosted contests where followers send in their own memes based around a designated hashtag.

Calling a local marketing firm like CC&A Strategic Media for an initial consultation is a great first step.
