WHO GETS
THE JOKE?
The internet is laughing. But is your brand in on the joke? Explore how internet humor becomes brand culture — and when brands should JOIN, REMIX or PASS.
LIVE ONLINE / TUESDAY 10 NOVEMBER / 14:00 CET
The online session starts in
30 minutes. Brand examples. A way to decide.
Read the room before you join the conversation.
A MEME IS MORE
THAN A JOKE.
A meme might travel across the internet in hours. Its meaning belongs to the people who created it. Brands can join the conversation — or miss the point entirely. We’ll look at the people, context and reactions behind viral humour, and show how to turn those signals into a decision that makes sense for a brand.
ONE MEME.
FIVE QUESTIONS.
From niche internet communities to mainstream brand culture: five questions to help decode a joke, read the context and decide whether a brand should take part.
WHERE DID IT START?
Find the original context — not just the repost that went viral.
WHO GETS IT?
Understand the people, references and shared codes behind the humour.
WHAT CHANGED?
Read comments and remixes to see how meaning shifts across audiences.
IS IT YOUR MOMENT?
Consider timing, audience relevance and the risk of joining too late.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
Choose JOIN, REMIX or PASS — and explain the choice with evidence.
THE TAKEAWAY A repeatable way to read cultural moments before turning them into brand content.

ARE YOU LISTENING?
One 30-minute online conversation on memes, internet humor and cultural intelligence: why some brands get the joke and why others become the punchline. Join from anywhere.
WHO GETS THE JOKE?
How does internet humor become culture? We’ll examine what memes reveal about communities, when brand participation adds value, and when staying out is the smarter move.

- Community codes, reactions and cultural signals
- Brand examples, JOIN / REMIX / PASS and discussion

VIRAL ISN’T
THE SAME AS RELEVANT.
Views tell us something spread. They don’t tell us whether a brand belongs there. We’ll use public conversations, social listening and AI-assisted interpretation to look beyond the numbers. Human judgement connects the signals to the decision.
