003 - The potential of memes in the digital age - with Rumman Kalam from Rantages

Tawsif Akkas Season 1 Episode 3

Rumman R Kalam is the founder of Rantages - Bangladesh's first crude humor website which has now built itself into a meme empire in the country. He is also the Acting In-charge of New Media at The Daily Star - the country's largest circulating English newspaper. 

While many don't consider memes to be anything serious, it is hard to deny the impact of this content form especially in the current digital content landscape. Big brands have adapted it and some businesses have an entire digital strategy built around creating memes. 

In this episode, Tawsif Akkas sits down with Rumman to talk about why memes shouldn't be overlooked, the ethical side of "stealing memes", and how you can start earning a buck or two by creating relatable online content.
