Digit Spark has discussed our understanding of digital curation, stating that “digital curation \u2260 exhibition digitization.” Instead, it focuses on refining relevant content for the topic at hand, researching viewer preferences, and planning a series of educational journeys for the viewer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is digital curation a trend? In addition to the obvious “transcending time and space”, digital curation also has the characteristic of ”\u00a0<\/span>freedom<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0“: the threshold for launching digital curation is not high, which more or less contributes to the boundless freedom of curatorial topics; basically,\u00a0<\/span>as long as I want to, I can create original content, and I can find the information, any topic or idea can be extended into a digital curation<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, the only difference is whether there is an audience willing to pay.<\/span><\/p>\n

To operate digital curations that convert the public into customers and generate revenue for the brand, marketers need two key capabilities:<\/span><\/p>\n

Hard power 1: The ability to understand people’s hearts<\/span><\/h2>\n

Readers and potential consumers often browse the internet and search for information for multiple purposes simultaneously, just like\u00a0<\/span>the consumer journey<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in marketing strategies, which is full of twists and turns. Digital curators constantly observe online readers, trying to discern\u00a0<\/span>the intentions behind their browsing of information<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and whether there is anything that can be ”\u00a0<\/span>combined with my curatorial theme<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0“.<\/span><\/p>\n

People browsing content online often have a mental route similar to the diagram on the right above, going back and forth, sometimes aimlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n

To capture the attention of these wandering visitors, curators must focus on their “theme\/brand,” sifting through the global sea of \u200b\u200binformation to identify compelling points. They then use creativity to delve deeper, innovate, and build connections, effectively “piggybacking” on their digital curatorial themes to expand their audience. This requires marketers to possess a comprehensive ability combining ”\u00a0<\/span>insight into human nature + creativity + in-depth analysis + perspective shifting<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0.” “Insight into human nature” is paramount; it’s fair to say that understanding\u00a0<\/span>the viewer’s intent<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is equivalent to unlocking the secrets to traffic. Once a point is identified, expanding on the content further necessitates a combination of human ingenuity and the assistance of tools.<\/span><\/p>\n
