How much is a meme worth?

We live in an attention economy and the formula is simple:

More attention = more leads = more sales.

No longer is the market trending towards memes. It IS the market. Attention is a currency, and if you’re not collecting it, someone else is.

Businesses that post memes get all the money…Businesses that don’t, are missing out.

A meme is worth millions.

Why Memes Work

People buy from people they like and they trust.

Memes make people like you; your product makes them trust you.

And the problem that most brands face is not trustworthiness — it’s likeability.

Tom Orbach, from Wiz, recently said something that resonated with me: using humor to take an unspoken truth everyone agrees on and making it public is what makes memes powerful.

Nothing makes you more likeable as a brand than saying how people feel out loud.

Memes Speak Louder Than Corporate Sales Pitch Jargon

Let’s be real. No one cares about your 5-step productivity solution or your overly polished sales pitch.

(Btw, if you’re not spamming emojis on every LinkedIn post, are you even a founder? 🚀)

People care about relatability. You don’t need to be funny—you just need to show your audience that you get them. They care about seeing their struggles turned into a punchline. If you can make them laugh or smile, you’ve already won half the battle.

Imagine speaking to your closest friends the way some brands market their products and services. F*cking cringe.

Memes aren’t just entertainment though—they’re Trojan horses that carry your message straight to your audience’s hearts (and credit cards).

Social Media thrives on authenticity. And Memes are an oasis in the dry desert full of blah corporate jargon that is LinkedIn. A post that feels human, casual, or even a little “anti-corporate” will stand out in the sea of sameness. Communicating through memes is a hack only the best brands are doing.

Here’s the Truth

You can be the boring guy at the party—strictly business, no personality—or you can be the one everyone remembers because you’re funny, relatable, and actually fun to talk to.

Guess which one people want to buy from?

Final Thoughts

I make memes for businesses.

They’ll make your audience smile because they can relate, think, and—most importantly—buy.

Memes get attention. Attention gets sales.

If you’re ready to stop blending in and start standing out, let’s talk.
