Let's talk about why @clickup's #LevelUp2023 is a masterpiece and the new benchmark in virtual events going forward.

It is so well-produced. Compelling.

A benchmark in how serious brands need to market themselves using events in 2023.

Amazing sound and visuals.

The sound was crystal-clear.

The camera work was perfect.

The set design was superb.

They sweated over the little details. It shows.

It's compelling to watch. No Zoom Fatigue here. Image
Engaging.

"Here. Take a photo of this QR code." With a pause.

"This is our partner directory."

Don't just talk at your audience. Pause. Ask them to get engaged with your content. Image
Multiple camera angles. And a rehearsed speaker.

It is clear that Marshal Tyler has rehearsed.

It's clear everyone's rehearsed.

No winging it here.

No sitting allowed - you could FEEL the energy in the room. ImageImage
Personality.

This event OOZED personality.

Audience cheering.

Confetti.

A beautiful set design.

Awesome customized music - a RAP to close this out? Dude.

This is slick. ImageImageImage
@clickup commissioned a custom rap for their event.

This is how you become memorable in the era of AI.

It's memorable.

It's completely different from how you would expect a task tracking SaaS (I know it does far more) to market themselves.

Worth a watch on it's own. ImageImage
On-demand sessions.

They had their keynote and some streamed sessions.

But now you can go in and watch a ton of extra, value-added content.

This is how you deliver crazy-good value. ImageImage
Fun stuff.

Custom games.

Share a photo and win.

A freaking Spotify playlist.

And the #LevelUp2023 hashtag for socials.

Yes, you can have fun and do business. ImageImageImageImage
@clickup with #LevelUp2023 has shown they give a damn about their customers.

They could have done a press release and a quick live stream.

In the era of AI, they INVESTED into their brand image.

And it's going to be profitable because #LevelUp2023 was memorable.

If you're getting started in content creation, you've probably looked around at microphones.

There are tons out there.

Condenser, dynamic, USB, XLR...

Which one should you use?

What mic is best for you?

Time to answer these questions with a MICROPHONE MEGA-THREAD.
First, let's talk about connection type.

Your two main connectors are XLR and USB.

USB mics are easier to use.

XLR mics require an audio interface to convert XLR to USB.

If you're just getting started, USB is fantastic. Plug and play, hit record, done.
What USB mics lack is an upgrade path.

If you end up wanting to upgrade your mic later, you'll need to replace it.

That's why I prefer an audio interface.

I can throw any XLR mic on it, and it'll work with my computer.

My people have been attending hybrid and virtual events for the last two weeks.

My main event guy had this to say:

"People don't know how to do hybrid."

Here's the TOP THREE major issues he found with the hybrids he attended online.

🧵
#1: In-person audience asking questions off-mic.

Your online audience needs to be able to hear every question.

If they can't, it's seconds (to minutes) of silence for the online audience.

Then the chat gets flooded with "what was the question!?!?"

Sucky experience.
Asking questions off-mic sends a message to your online audience though.

It says, "you're not in the room, so we don't care about you."

Lame.

Oh, and if you're recording the session?

Off-mic questions won't be recorded.

So the question is lost forever.

Boo.

One simple trick is all it takes to make you look awesome on camera.

And it's free.

Everyone is on camera these days. Whether for podcasts or YouTube videos, you need to look your best.

Why blow that first impression?

Ready to look your best? Here we go. 🧵
Tip 1: Clean your camera lens.

Most webcams on laptops are at the top-center of your screen.

Where do you open your laptop?

Top-center.

Look at it now.

Probably looks like a mini version of the Exxon Valdez around your camera.

A quick wipe with a cloth is all it takes.
Same thing applies to your phone.

Your fingers go everywhere on your phone.

If you take a photo and it looks "foggy", that's finger grease, baby.

Look at these photos. This is before I cleaned my phone's camera. Everything is foggy. And lights have a weird shine.

Many online events pre-22 were cheap recreations of in-person.

Tons of speakers.

Lots of content.

Little connection.

Low quality control.

Thus, Zoom Fatigue was born.

People were tired of listening to horrid audio all day. Image
With hybrid, we managed to have some in-person events again.

But many were expensive recreations of pandemic-era Zoom events.

Turns out seeing the presenter's full body, pants included, didn't make boring slideshows better.

People want more.

They want EXPERIENCES.

"Online events can't replace in-person networking."

Disagree.

I think online can be 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 for networking than in-person.

Networking in each space is 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁. Not better or worse.

Why? 🧵:
Say you're at an event. Who do you talk to?

Everybody?

How long do you have to talk to someone?

A minute or two?

At an event with 150 people you'd need 5 hours to talk with everyone for TWO minutes each.

That doesn't scale. Your connections are down to chance.
Now you could limit your connections to the speakers or VIPs.

Just like everyone else.

And they have a plane to catch. Which means you get even less time to talk.

Thoughts on permanent exit from the pandemic. A thread.

I keep having conversations with friends and family about "when do you think the pandemic will end?"

Here's when.

Note - I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV. This is a thought experiment.
To make a permanent exit, the cost of treating those with severe COVID must be low.

That means we need:
- a healthy population with no underlying conditions (hard)
- know who will have bad outcomes b/c of genetics, etc. (Also hard)

Or...
A variant which, for the 5% most vulnerable general population, has a <20% chance of hospital/ICU admission.

This is the variant we want. We want to limit admissions to ICUs and hospital.

5% of the population in hospital is enough to break healthcare.
