FanCulture: The Evolution of influence

By: Seamus Waldron Published: 8 May 2012

FanCulture is a short film exploring the role fans could, and should, play in brands and marketing. I was invited to be in the film last summer and we shot my bits in November. You will see me talking a lot about Marmite and eating it :-) I do also talk some sense about FanCulture in the digital age.

Also featuring expert opinion and insight from academics, marketeers and other fans (Marmite, Nike and Sony). This documentary looks at how a brand can identify their fans and, more importantly, harness their passion.



See the documentary on the WeAreAmplify website.

Update, 2025: The 2012 fan-culture documentary turned out to be a fair preview. Marmite marketing has now moved out of TV almost entirely into TikTok creators. See Unilever is moving Marmite marketing to TikTok creators and TikTok discovers Marmite, again, but louder this time.

Provenance: Originally published on ilovemarmite.com (the site's original domain, 2000–2016). Republished here on ilovemarmite.co.uk in 2025 after the .com domain was lost. Original publication date preserved above.
