As we gathered in the lobby and exchanged social media handles, I\u00a0soon realised that most of the group attendees came with an audience range\u00a0of 30,000 to over\u00a01.6 million followers each.<\/p>\n<p>Here I was with a paltry audience of 1,650-something followers.

All of that just for a handful of average Janes and Joes. I was none the wiser. How cute is my naivet\u00e9 right now?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\" style=\"font-size: 1.8em; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 30px 0; color: #2d96d2;\">On one hand, this was a strategic event which\u00a0treated us like high society. The whole experience\u00a0felt incredibly privileged. On the other hand, I gathered that this small group of Influencers had a collective reach of at least\u00a05.2 Million viewers. It&#8217;s no secret that brands covet this reach with a millennial demographic.\u00a0That&#8217;s the kind of reach that can swing open\u00a0the golden gates of opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Social reach aside, I was\u00a0excited to preview\u00a0the exhibition, but before embarking on our tour we were all reminded of the hashtags to use when posting our content. Ah, yes, I know this gig very well. Our\u00a0group&#8217;s\u00a0inaugural posts about the\u00a0exhibition would become the seedlings\u00a0from which\u00a0the hashtag campaign would\u00a0spring forth\u00a0and proliferate across our preferred social media outlets, organically reaching netizens across the country and beyond. Even though I am far from being an Influencer, I do fancy myself a content creator at least. Naturally, I took this brief seriously. What I lacked in viewership I would make up for in quality and quantity of images.<\/p>\n<p>While\u00a0I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, it definitely felt like I was doing an honest day&#8217;s work (ok, a half-day&#8217;s work),\u00a0creatively documenting my personal experience for the event sponsors and\u00a0working to repay the value that I personally extracted from the\u00a0private tour in some form of social currency.<\/p>\n<p>Check out my collection of photos from the\u00a0influencer event below.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanartgallery.bc.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Takashi Murakami: The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is an Instagram-friendly show so if you&#8217;d like to snap your own selfie in front of a famous Murakami art piece, visit the Vancouver Art Gallery from now until May 6, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 800px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ber88wdAgKK\/\" data-instgrm-version=\"8\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ber88wdAgKK\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@helananas and I had the privilege of previewing &#8216;Takashi Murakami: Octopus Eats Its Own Leg&#8217; at the Vancouver Art Gallery today &#8211; with the artist @takashipom (Happy Birthday!).

Upon learning this, I imagined that his early years of survival has forged his gracious nature. This only makes him even more relatable; more admirable. &#8211; As my brief visit to Murakami-land came to a close, it became clear to me that Takashi-San is as giving as he is humble. I hope you all enjoy the show as much as I did. &#8211; Special thanks to @helananas for letting me tag along and to \ud83d\udc19@booooooom \ud83d\udda4@vanartgallery \ud83d\udc19@shangrila_van \ud83d\udda4@marketjg_van \ud83d\udc19for inviting us.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A post shared by <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/roberutsu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Robby Rob Robert<\/a> (@roberutsu) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2018-02-04T19:30:36+00:00\">Feb 4, 2018 at 11:30am PST<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went on a private gallery tour with a small group of Influencers that had a collective reach of 5.2  Million social media followers.
