The 5 tenets of Indienomics, the value proposition behind Sundance Channel and IFC for brands:

1. Independence leads to prosperity Uber-Influencers have more money to spend.
2. Not all consumers are created equal Reaching one uber-influencer is worth reaching 1,000 influencers.
3. Advertising is content Customize your message and think outside the pod.

5. Everyone is a network The opportunity is to reach them where they program to themselves, regardless of platform.
