Ted The Stoner | Top 100 | Influncex’20

Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

Ted The Stoner: Though the statement cannot be generalized, there is a lot of responsibility when it comes to posting anything on the internet now. There is a lot of accountability & that is definitely a good thing. On the contrary, with easy access to the internet, there is also a rise in the number of cases of cyberbullying and incessant trolling towards anybody with a different
opinion.

Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?

Ted The Stoner: I don’t think influencers have any upper hand when it comes to knowing things about anything that is open to all. The only reason an artist/influencer might have an upper hand over someone would be because they would spend more time researching something about social media since it is an important part of their lives.

Ex: What would be your calling in a parallel universe? (Alternate career options)

Ted The Stoner: I guess I’d be a farmer with a nice little farm and a couple of animals where I can just grow my own food and not worry about the world.

Ex: If you were stranded on an island, what are the 3 gadgets you’d take along?

Ted The Stoner: I’ll have a word with Tony Stark and get back to you.

Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?

Ted The Stoner: A mind control device that can be used on Mumbai rickshaw drivers who keep rejecting us without even listening to the proposed destination. Social Media is known to expose vulnerabilities, with influencers being at the epicenter.

Ex: How do you deal with the dark side that comes with the medium?

Ted The Stoner: The best way to deal with vulnerabilities as an influencer is to be honest with your audience about your vulnerability. At times, we underestimate the good in the world. The audience you build on your page is like an extended family. The best way is to let them see you for what you are, who you are instead of faking it just because it seems like a cooler option.

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Ted The Stoner: Being happy and helping others be happy.

Ex: Which people or books have had the greatest impact on your growth, and why?

Ted The Stoner: People who have had the greatest impact on my life would be the life of Swami Vivekananda. A lot of good principles to learn.

Ex: What was the thought process behind this journey?

Ted The Stoner: The thought process was very simple. Making people happy and helping them in every possible way. I’m glad and I feel content because I can see that happening everyday.

Tanvi Geetha Ravishankar | Top 100 | Influncex’20

Ex:  Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

Tanvi : I still remember when there was no jio internet we bloggers & YouTubers were struggling for views, hardly people used to read a blog or watch videos on the internet because the internet cost was very high but when jio came to market with low-cost internet, it changed the entire digital blogging space completely, so yeah big thanks to jio!

Ex:  Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?

Tanvi : The insight would be that creating content is not as easy as it looks . We spend hours in shooting a 15 second or 60 second video and most of the time it’s a one human show!

Ex: What would be your calling in a parallel universe? (Alternate career options)

Tanvi :  A Fashion Designer or an Actress / Singer.

Ex: If you were stranded on an island, what are the 3 gadgets you’d take along?

Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)

Tanvi : A fan told me a while ago how my posts and my words helped her come out of her depression and step out of the house after months ! To be able to touch a life that way…makes me so grateful and emotional.

Ex: Social Media is known to expose vulnerabilities, with influencers being at the epicenter. How do you deal with the dark side that comes with the medium?

Tanvi : I deal with this by constantly being open and talking about my vulnerabilities! Social Media is in fact the best space to BE YOU. The more you open up to people about your struggles, the more you’re connectable with them .

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Tanvi : To be happy and for more people to know, understand and support my work.

Ex: What was the thought process behind this journey?

Tanvi : I wanted to make people comfortable and happy in their skin.

Prajakta Koli | Editor’s Choice | Influncex’20

Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

Prajakta: I think the sheer magnanimity of the platform speaks for itself. When I started 5 years ago, we did not see this coming. Nobody knew the digital space would boom like this in every corner of our country. That is the biggest change I have seen. Now there are more consumers and even more creators coming on to the platform everyday.  

Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?

Prajakta: Know what is the best time to post that’ll give you the most engagement. Consistency is key and content is king at the end of the day. Also, engaging with your audience makes all the difference. 

Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?

Prajakta: An app that deletes your account if you baselessly spew hate at people on the internet.

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)

Prajakta: Running into viewers at malls and airports or reading the amazing letters they write to me is by far the best thing about my job. But I remember, a viewer once came up to me at an event to talk about how she gave up on waxing her legs and accepted her body as is after listening to my song ‘SHAMELESS’. That was such an accomplishment!

Ex: What does success mean to you?

Prajakta: Seeing the people that matter to me happy. 

Ex: Do you think Influencer Marketing is a fad? Where do you see this space in years to come?

Prajakta: Influencer marketing is definitely not a fad and is here to stay. Over the years brands have seen the connect influencers have with their audience. The brands are keen on tapping this bond and maximising visibility for their brand. So it is definitely here to stay wherein many brands are actively focussing on influencer marketing over mainstream conventional marketing techniques.

Mumbikar Nikhil | Trendsetter | Influncex’20

Ex: Tell us about a change you’ve seen in the digital blogging space since you started out your journey? How has this space evolved?

Nikhil: Changes which I have seen in the digital blogging space that there are so many opportunities have grown a lot and more and more people are coming onto this.

Ex: Can you give us an insight into social media platforms that only an Influencer can know?

Nikhil: The insight which I can give you is that the Influencer who is more personal about their life has more connection with their audience.

Ex: What would be your calling in a parallel universe? (Alternate career options)

Nikhil: I would have been either a Photographer or probably a DOP.

Ex: A technology you wished you’d invented?

Nikhil: Technology I wish I could have invented the Smartphone, It’s a device on which we all rely on and I think it’s the most popular invention in the history of Mankind.

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)

Nikhil: There are many but one is that when I was traveling from Kolkata to Visakhapatnam two boys were standing just before the toll naka and when I spoke to them, they told me they came 200km from inside a village and they just guessed it I would be passing from there because I didn’t update it anywhere. I was really shocked and felt blessed at that time.

Ex: Social media trolling is seeing an upward rise. Do you think this only increases with the popularity of an Influencer? How does one tackle this situation?

Nikhil: Definitely grows with the popularity or I’d like to say Depends on how deep of a personal connection an influencer have with their audience through their content. When you grow, you gotta have bullies and haters. That’s proof you are growing.

Ex: Tell us something we don’t know about the influencer’s content strategy?

Nikhil: One thing people don’t know about the content strategy is that Influencing is not just about to look good, wear good clothes, It’s about talking what needs to be spoken and doing something which people find it challenging and of course you need to be calculative and futuristic what’s gonna happen in the future and accordingly make a move.

Namrata Purohit | Entrepreneur | Influncex’20

Ex: What would be your calling in a parallel universe? (Alternate career options)
Namrata: If I was not a fitness coach, I would be a scuba diving instructor.

Ex: If you were stranded on an island, what are the 3 gadgets you’d take along?

Namrata: Technology that I am really trying to work on is teleportation.

Ex: What’s been your favorite encounter with a fan so far? (DMs included!)
Namrata: Honestly I don’t have a favorite as every meet with anyone who knows my work, or follows my journey is extremely special. However, the first time will always hold a special place in my heart! I was at an airport and someone, who seemed really happy to see me came running up to me. She spoke to me about her journey and how my posts have inspired her to transform her life. It felt really great, knowing that I have inspired her in some way and that I am a part of her fitness journey and transformation.

Ex: Social Media is known to expose vulnerabilities, with influencers being at the epicenter. How do you deal with the dark side that comes with the medium?
Namrata: Everything has two sides. There is a day and there is night, it is good and it is bad. All I can do is try my best, give my best and share what I truly believe in and I will continue to

Ex: What does success mean to you?
Namrata: Success is tough to define. I think in one way it is the ability to do what you love. This may sound easy but is something that could keep changing. Success is the ability to constantly adapt to that change, to keep moving, and to always be able to do what you love. And to be able to wake up every day loving what one is doing!

Ex: What does a normal working day look like for you?
Namrata: I start my day early and usually workout before my day starts. I then take 8-9 classes in the day, a study in order to gain new knowledge or learn about the latest research, work on The Pilates Studio at the backend and try to wrap work up by 7 pm.

Ex: Best tip for fitness every day?
Namrata: KISSS every day! Keep It Safe Simple and Smart!

The Fluence of Influencers September 2020

The viral issue in the new normal. Last year, we started one of our strongest IPs, where we curated 250 content creators who in their category had been relevant, with a meaningful fan following and put them up for public voting to choose “The Top 100” Class of 2019. Almost immediately, we had a huge spike in our web traffic; touching 500k hits daily as a consequence of these content creators who had influenced their fans to go and vote. This is when realisation dawned that they are real influencers! What came next was our first-ever Influencex awards where the “Top 100” had flown in from different parts of the country for the “Influencex” awards night. The vibe was strictly informal and it soon converted to one big party. The celebration still continues and thereafter we started a dedicated “Influencer marketing Division” which has been busy ever since with curating and executing huge influencer marketing campaigns.

This year we repeated last year’s event, albeit with a twist. Our website continued to spike during the voting days to 5000%. Nothing changed. Only the awards went virtual right from this screen. We fixed one day and all the winners came together one by one. It was a field day chatting on Zoom sessions with 15 winners across – Entertainment, Fitness, Tech, Travel, Fashion, Lifestyle, Social Media ,Beauty, Changemaker, Gaming, Food and Automobile. All of them have a few things in common, they have huge fan bases – If I put all the following of only these 15 of them it would stack up to 50 Million+. Secondly, they are all chilled out and know what they are doing and come up trial and error and thirdly, humble with feet on the ground.

The entire day-long session has been curated and cut to feel like an awards ceremony into a 30-minute session and is resting pretty at our channel youtube.com/exhibitmagazine. The process of choosing the winners is also straight forward. There is no jury round and it’s up for public voting with some tech in play which will map votes to the unique IP and the results have always been “on display” mode since day one of voting.

Here’s to the new era of Infleuncers and marketers to have a new honorific in their blue book which has quickly flipped pages to the fore of their communication strategies and medium.
