Read MoreKathy G’s Having Fun With Memes
We’re having a little fun at the Kathy G offices today and decided to create a meme or three. For the unfamiliar, “Meme’ is pronounced as ‘meem’, which rhymes with ‘team.’ According to multi-media marketing experts, the most popular memes influence modern language and culture in big ways. Through the use of humor, they have the ability to influence purchases and shape how the the whole internet user population (particularly 18-34 year-olds) live their lives. And best of all, they’re funny. All that said, here’s our first Kathy G meme. Please let us know what you think in the comments – And don’t forget to share it with your friends!
