The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Jason Thibeault:  "I think it’s safe to say that marketing has changed. A lot. Gone are the days of telling your message. It’s all about engagement now. It’s about digital presence. It’s about storytelling. And how you tell that story may make or break your business. But the old way of storytelling may not cut it."

Where Entertainment Meets Marketing: Lessons from Kingsman, Rolex & James Bond

Where Entertainment Meets Marketing:  Lessons from Kingsman, Rolex & James Bond | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Simon Pont:  "Rather than brands as jarring interlopers within a story, we must explore how they can facilitate the creation of entertainment, and even enhance the content being made."

Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight, April 20, 2015 11:46 AM

By allowing brands to enter a storyworld, they become peers and friends.  When done thoughtfully and seamlessly (in other words, it adds to the story fabric and doesn't trigger the "oh look, product placement" inner voice in the viewer's head) it transforms what is essentially 'advertising' into WOM.  14% of people believe ads from the source; 77% believe WOM.  Very powerful shift.

Is This Transmedia? Wreck-It Ralph

Is This Transmedia? Wreck-It Ralph | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Mike Vogel:  "Much of the talk about Wreck-It Ralph this week will be about the fact that it comes out in Digital HD  on February 12th–almost a month ahead of the DVD release. I’m all for anything that makes DVDs less relevant, but I think the transmedia strategy behind Wreck-It Ralph is more innovative than releasing a movie digitally."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

Mike Vogel ponders the difference between transmedia and marketing when it comes to Wreck-It Ralph.
