The digital content creation landscape is constantly evolving, influenced by viral trends and changing algorithms across social media platforms. This has had a profound impact on industries like sports, transforming how fans interact with their favorite teams and athletes. Through platforms like TikTok and Instagram, fans now have unprecedented access to behind-the-scenes content, allowing them to see the personalities of their favorite players on and off the field.
Kameron Black, a BSS ’18 graduate, has witnessed firsthand how social media has revolutionized the sports industry. Collaborating with top brands like Nike, the NBA, and EA Sports, Black creates engaging social media content for Madden and College Football video games. He notes that the industry has shifted from long-form content to shorter, more consumable pieces that capture viewers’ attention in the first few seconds.
According to Black, social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels have become the go-to channels for sports content, catering to an always-on culture that craves constant updates and fresh content. This has created a 24-hour news cycle that is constantly evolving, reflecting the fast-paced nature of digital content creation.
As the industry continues to adapt to changing trends and algorithms, content creators like Black are at the forefront of this evolution, finding new ways to engage audiences and stay relevant in a rapidly shifting landscape. With social media driving these changes, the only constant in digital content creation is the need to embrace change and adapt to the evolving demands of the audience.
