00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,040
Hi everyone. 
Welcome to Mini Scroll, the 

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,400
daily Internet culture podcast 
bringing you the biggest stories

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,160
from social media, the creator 
economy and the digital space. 

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,120
Every Monday through Thursday 
and sometimes Fridays. 

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,120
I'm your host, Lauren Meisner, 
the founder of the youth digital

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,680
media brand Centennial World. 
Welcome back to Mini Scroll, 

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,120
everyone. 
OK, today's episode is a bit of 

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,680
a different one. 
I'm not going to be doing a 

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,920
traditional Mini Scroll episode.
I do apologize because I know 

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,320
Mini, she's tried and true. 
You guys are so loyal and I know

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,920
what you come here for, but I'm 
going to be doing a TikTok 

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,920
awards recap for you guys 
because this was a huge moment 

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,880
for us. 
We got to do the red carpet. 

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,120
We were the only independent 
media brand on the red carpet. 

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,920
It was so cool. 
Every other publisher there was 

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,200
huge. 
They were part of a big 

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,240
conglomerate like the ABC, 
Channel 10, The Daily Telegraph,

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,320
We had pedestrian group, Val 
Morgan, like huge, huge titles. 

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,720
And then there was us. 
It was a really, really big 

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,920
event for us. 
So I'm excited to talk about it 

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,920
in general, but also it was a 
huge undertaking. 

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,920
So it has really taken over the 
past two days for us. 

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,840
And I just did not have time to 
put together a meaningful 

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,360
episode for you guys today. 
So tomorrow for a Friday mini, I

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,800
will give you guys a meaty good 
episode, I promise. 

26
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,080
But I didn't want to leave you 
guys hanging. 

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,160
So before I get into it, Please 
remember to rate, review and 

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,800
subscribe. 
We are trying to get to 1000 

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,080
Spotify star ratings by the end 
of the year. 

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,880
Please Spotify star rate US. 
OK, thank you. 

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,480
OK, so let me set the scene in 
terms of our history with the 

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,000
TikTok Awards. 
So the TikTok Awards, they 

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,680
launched maybe just a year or 
two after Centennial launched. 

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,320
And we've always been invited, 
like since their inception, we 

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,480
have always had a spot on the 
guest list, which is really 

36
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,680
cool. 
And they used to be much 

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,200
smaller. 
And this year it was at the ICC.

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Well, actually not. 
It's been renamed. 

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,000
TikTok bought the rights to the 
Convention Center in Sydney. 

40
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,800
So the name has changed from the
ICC to the TikTok Entertainment 

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,240
Center, which is so crazy. 
And that was only announced like

42
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,280
2 days before the TikTok Awards.
I thought it was like a stick, 

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,960
like for the TikTok Awards to be
like, yeah, the TikTok 

44
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Entertainment Center. 
No, no, no, it's like fully 

45
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,000
rebranded to that now, which is 
so wild. 

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,240
So it's now this like huge scale
event. 

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,040
As I've told you guys so many 
times, Centennial, we were one 

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,040
of the first ever publishers in 
Australia to use TikTok, first 

49
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,560
of all, consistently, but also 
to report news. 

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,680
When we started on TikTok in 
December 2019, which is when we 

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,680
launched, there were some 
publishers on the platform, but 

52
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,240
they were doing like office 
content behind the scenes. 

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,800
Nobody was using it for news. 
And it was actually my husband 

54
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Sean who suggested to us, like, 
if you know, people are putting 

55
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,800
news on Instagram and carousels 
and stuff and like basically 

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,960
taking their stories that they 
would be reporting on on dot 

57
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,040
coms in newspapers and magazines
and putting them in digestible 

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,920
formats for social. 
Like why don't you just do that 

59
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,240
in short form video for TikTok. 
So our first video that we did 

60
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,720
was the very first. 
I think it was like January 2nd,

61
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,040
maybe January 2nd or 3rd. 
We posted a video like that 

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,880
about Nikki tutorials coming out
as trans and it like went so 

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,320
viral. 
It did so well. 

64
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,600
And we were like, OK, this is 
our our strategy. 

65
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,320
I guess young people want to 
consume entertainment news on 

66
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,560
TikTok. 
And obviously that is like a no 

67
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,520
brainer now. 
And none of us are surprised to 

68
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,120
hear that. 
But that was like revolutionary 

69
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,200
at the time. 
So it was very cool to be 

70
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,480
recognized by TikTok early on 
for that. 

71
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,200
We did some media for TikTok in 
those early days as well. 

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,960
Like we were on TV talking about
how we use TikTok and stuff 

73
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,440
because they were really trying 
to build their legitimacy. 

74
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,920
So for the first several years, 
like I said, we were always 

75
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,080
invited. 
And then about two years ago, I 

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,840
asked, can we be on the red 
carpet like we always get 

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,920
invited? 
We're a TikTok first publisher. 

78
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,600
TikTok is the main pillar of our
brand. 

79
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,720
We don't publish on Meta. 
You know, we really don't use a 

80
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,520
lot of other socials like TikTok
is our main one. 

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,240
And obviously you guys know who 
listen to mini everyday. 

82
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,720
Like TikTok is our bread and 
butter in terms of what we're 

83
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,320
reporting on. 
Like we are reporting on 

84
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,720
Internet culture And TikTok at 
the moment is the most 

85
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,240
influential platform when it 
comes to Internet culture and 

86
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,079
therefore culture at large in 
many ways. 

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,760
When I first asked for and 
carpet access, like I said, this

88
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,040
was only a couple years ago. 
So publishers, yes, they were 

89
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,960
covering TikTok by this point, 
but you know, it really felt 

90
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,200
like people were cutting our 
grass like we were first. 

91
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,200
So I was like, please. 
And they said there was, you 

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,960
know, very limited access. 
And the publishers that ended up

93
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,640
getting access were the huge 
ones, right? 

94
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,440
Like the ABC Channel 9, like all
the mainstream ones. 

95
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,640
OK. 
And that was honestly a little 

96
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,600
bit disappointing to see because
I really believe for the TikTok 

97
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,120
Awards, the access should be 
first and foremost granted to 

98
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,280
social first publishers like 
TikTok first publishers, 

99
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,360
publishers that are new media 
that are trying to change the 

100
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,600
game. 
Like that's what TikTok is 

101
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,360
trying to do, and that's what 
they're celebrating at the 

102
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,800
TikTok Awards. 
But whatever, I was like, I get 

103
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,240
it. 
Like it's building that 

104
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,640
legitimacy to have the huge name
brands that are willing to be on

105
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,720
the red carpet. 
But I mean, I wouldn't say 

106
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,920
actually willing, like people 
are fighting to get on that red 

107
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,800
carpet because we know that like
creators are the new celebrities

108
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,800
for young people and everybody 
wants to tap the young audience,

109
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:22,920
right? 
So that was fine. 

110
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,520
OK. 
And then last year we were in 

111
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,960
conversations about doing the 
red carpet, but it ended up not 

112
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,680
working out. 
We ended up not getting a spot. 

113
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,360
I think I was really gutted 
because I, I really, I believe I

114
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,880
thought we were more in the 
running than we actually were to

115
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,400
get it. 
And I was really upset when it 

116
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,200
turned out that we didn't. 
And so I actually pushed back 

117
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,080
and this was a really big moment
for me because, you know, I just

118
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,840
become a solo founder. 
And in becoming a solo founder, 

119
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:52,520
it's been quite the journey of 
me, like finding my voice and 

120
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,200
being able to stand up for 
myself and my brand without 

121
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,960
having, you know, like a 
business partner alongside with 

122
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,160
you, like having to do 
everything yourself and like, be

123
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,080
that boss. 
It's been a challenge for me 

124
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,840
these past couple of years. 
And so I really pushed back. 

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,120
And I was like, you know, we are
a TikTok first publisher. 

126
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,360
We cover TikTok every single 
day. 

127
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,440
Like what is happening with 
these creators, what's happening

128
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,000
online? 
And that has been our bread and 

129
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,960
butter since we launched. 
For years. 

130
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,240
I stayed in my case. 
And ANYWAYS, they were really, 

131
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,120
really sweet about it. 
Like there was nothing that 

132
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,440
could be done at the time, but 
they understood my frustrations.

133
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,560
And so, yeah, this year I didn't
have to fight for it. 

134
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,120
They offered us red carpet. 
And it felt like this full 

135
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,160
circle moment for me, this 
moment where I was like, Oh my 

136
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,480
God, like standing up for myself
and making my case. 

137
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,840
And, you know, just being like, 
This is why we deserve to be 

138
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:43,600
here. 
Like fighting for that and 

139
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,480
knowing we deserve to be there. 
It worked because I didn't even 

140
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,720
have to ask this year. 
They offered it to us. 

141
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,160
And like I said, we were the 
only independent media on that 

142
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,320
carpet. 
It was so cool. 

143
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,880
So the event itself was pretty 
amazing. 

144
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,680
Like I said, the scale was 
massive this year. 

145
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,840
There were floors of 
activations. 

146
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,040
I'm going to say there are 
probably thousands of people. 

147
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,560
It was huge. 
It was amazing. 

148
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,000
Everybody was like dressed to 
the nines, OK. 

149
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,200
However, the weather was crazy 
yesterday. 

150
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,040
We had this wild tropical 
thunderstorm in the middle of 

151
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,440
the day. 
So the red carpet, which was 

152
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,920
supposed to be outside was moved
to inside because of the 

153
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,160
weather. 
Obviously makes sense. 

154
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,600
I'm sure you guys have been 
getting content on your For You 

155
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,080
page, especially if you're in 
Australia, about like the red 

156
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,360
carpet situation and about the 
TikTok awards like before where 

157
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,320
the award ceremony actually 
started and how it was really 

158
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,880
busy and over stimulating. 
And that I believe is because of

159
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,360
the weather. 
Like as somebody who was there 

160
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,760
like the whole day and like 
understood what happened 

161
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,800
logistically because they had to
move things inside because of 

162
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,200
the weather. 
Like obviously that just changes

163
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,840
things in terms of like event 
logistics. 

164
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,680
So we got to speak to so many 
huge creators in Australia. 

165
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,680
We spoke to Leticia Clark, we 
spoke to Leah Halton, sofa dopa 

166
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,960
and Bailey Rowie sing like it 
was so cool. 

167
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,160
Oh and I asked Rowie about being
Chapel roans makeup artist and 

168
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,040
she said that Chapel just DM her
out of the blue and was like I 

169
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,360
want you to do my makeup And 
Rowie was like I don't do other 

170
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,880
people's makeup. 
And she was like, that's fine. 

171
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,920
Like I still want you to do my 
makeup. 

172
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,120
Let me just play the clip. 
This DMS me like she. 

173
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,160
Literally just DMS me maybe like
a. 

174
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,520
Year ago and was like, hey, I 
love your makeup. 

175
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,440
Would you do like one of my 
shows or like, for like a red 

176
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,600
carpet? 
And I was like, I don't do other

177
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,800
people's makeup. 
And she was like, that's fine, I

178
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,480
don't care. 
And then it just so happened 

179
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,240
that we were in New York at the 
same time, and it made it work. 

180
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,440
Also, friend of the pod, Cody 
Simpson, he was there. 

181
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,240
We actually didn't get to talk 
to him because he had to present

182
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,440
an award or something. 
So he could only do a few quick 

183
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,040
interviews and then he was 
whisked away. 

184
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,160
But he saw us and he like tried 
to photobomb one of our videos, 

185
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,560
but Annabelle didn't quite catch
it. 

186
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,200
Like he wasn't quite in frame, 
but he was like, Oh my God, hey.

187
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,240
And I was like Cody, my bestie. 
So we started posting the 

188
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,760
content. 
It's all doing really well on 

189
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,200
Centennial's TikTok and the 
videos of Leah. 

190
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,920
Like, I, I mean, I know she has 
so many followers, but I didn't 

191
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,280
realize she was so culty. 
You guys. 

192
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,040
Like she has dance. 
Like literally the second those 

193
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,280
videos are going up, people are 
like, first, Oh my God, live 

194
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,560
laugh, Leah. 
I love you so much, Leah. 

195
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:17,680
Like, it's crazy people love 
her. 

196
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,000
So yeah, it was about two hours 
of red carpet interviews. 

197
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,000
It was so buzzy. 
Like, there was such a rush. 

198
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,680
It was so cool. 
You're like wrangling 

199
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,440
celebrities, like pulling 
creators over and being like, 

200
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,520
please talk to me and, like, 
firing questions off at them. 

201
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,720
And it was just like the most 
exciting, exhilarating 

202
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,400
experience, experience. 
And I feel like if you're 

203
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,760
somebody who really enjoys a 
fast-paced whirlwind type of 

204
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,080
experience like that, like if 
you work in event planning or 

205
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,000
PR, you know, you understand 
what I mean by this. 

206
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,720
And it is such a rush and it's 
so exhilarating, but it is so 

207
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,480
exhausting. 
So when the carpet was mostly 

208
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,080
over, we were like, OK, we want 
to start getting this content 

209
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,480
up. 
And they had a media room. 

210
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,560
So we went to the media room and
we started getting our content 

211
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,040
up as the award started and they
were playing the awards in the 

212
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160
media room and they actually 
brought in catering for the 

213
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,120
media. 
So, you know, we had like French

214
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,240
fries, pizza, chicken fingers. 
There was like healthy 

215
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,400
sandwiches, salads. 
Like I didn't have any of that. 

216
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,560
I obviously had the fries and 
pizza, but it was really good. 

217
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,360
So All in all, it was honestly a
really fun experience. 

218
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,800
I genuinely had such a good 
time. 

219
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,520
The content we got is doing 
really well on socials and I 

220
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,360
don't know, I just had a really 
good time. 

221
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,440
I felt like I was in my element 
and like Centennial finally got 

222
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,040
there after like years of 
fighting for a spot on that red 

223
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,880
carpet. 
Like we finally did it and I 

224
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,400
think it was worth it. 
Like I had a really great time 

225
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,160
and I think the content that we 
got is going to really perform 

226
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,000
and hopefully that shows TikTok 
and TikTok awards in the future.

227
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,040
Like This is why we should be 
there, you know. 

228
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,480
So I wanted to go over some of 
the awards for you guys. 

229
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,920
So creator of the year was Javea
video of the year was Leo 

230
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,320
Haltons iconic inverted behind 
the scenes video. 

231
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,840
It has 150 million views. 
Insane. 

232
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,440
I remember when that video was 
everywhere on the free page 

233
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:11,960
TikTok Business of the year was 
all for Mimi, which is sofa Dove

234
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,040
and Bailey White's company 
Beauty and fashion creator of 

235
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,360
the year was Ask Ellen Beauty. 
Actually, I think it was Rowie 

236
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,800
that said to me on the red 
carpet that So one of the 

237
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,600
questions I was asking attendees
or nominees was what is 1 

238
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:30,560
category that doesn't exist at 
the TikTok awards that you wish 

239
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:32,920
did. 
And she actually said, I think 

240
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,040
fashion and beauty should be 
separated because fashion and 

241
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,160
beauty as art forms, as 
disciplines are so completely 

242
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,800
different. 
And I couldn't agree more. 

243
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,440
I am absolutely a beauty girl. 
But if you asked me anything 

244
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,080
about fashion, like I barely 
have a sense of personal style. 

245
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,160
Like I don't know anything about
fashion, but beauty, I could 

246
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,440
tell you everything. 
Like I am such a beauty girl. 

247
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,800
And like they are so completely 
different in such different art 

248
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,800
forms. 
So yes, I actually really agree 

249
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,200
with that. 
But ask Allen, beauty is mostly,

250
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,240
I would say a makeup creator, 
food creator of the year was 

251
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,160
Andy Cooks. 
You know, what I would love to 

252
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:12,160
see next year is media brand or 
like TikTok journalist, like 

253
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,440
news fluencer type of category 
that I think is absolutely 

254
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,560
missing. 
TikTok has been so influential 

255
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:22,040
in media, but media has also 
been so influential in Tik Tok's

256
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,320
growth and Tik Tok's influence. 
Oh, and then one of the craziest

257
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,320
things that happened at the 
event was Jonathan Bailey showed

258
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,360
up as a surprise to present the 
TikTok for Good award. 

259
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,400
He's been showing up all over 
Sydney at these press events. 

260
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,080
Like so many people I know have 
just gone to random like brand 

261
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,560
events, different things like 
this, like media events, and 

262
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:50,240
he's just shown up there doing 
like a performance or a 

263
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,280
presentation or like an award, 
like whatever. 

264
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,000
It's so funny, it's so random. 
So that was really cool. 

265
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,440
And then, yeah, like I said, 
while the event was going on, we

266
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,600
were publishing our content. 
I actually published mini scroll

267
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,040
from yesterday at the event at 
the Tick Tock Awards backstage. 

268
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:11,240
And then we went home with our 
box of fries and our pizza. 

269
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,600
It was so much fun. 
It was such a great experience 

270
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,320
for us And yeah, that's the T on
our experience at the TikTok 

271
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,440
Awards and how that all went 
down for us. 

272
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,880
And I hope you guys enjoyed 
this. 

273
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,080
I guess more like behind the 
scenes of the business kind of 

274
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,600
episode. 
Obviously the TikTok Awards is 

275
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,280
very relevant to mini scroll. 
I didn't want to leave you guys 

276
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,760
with nothing today, but like I 
said, I it's important that I do

277
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,280
my due diligence when I am, you 
know, reporting on different 

278
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,720
stories and I just did not have 
time to do the proper research 

279
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,080
into the stories that I wanted 
to cover today. 

280
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,240
So all that to say, thank you 
guys so much for listening. 

281
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,560
I love you guys. 
Please remember to rate, review 

282

Please Spotify star rate US and 

283
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,320

for a mini scroll episode that 

284
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,200
will be back to normal. 
Bye.
