branded entertainment - love at every site
DESCRIPTION
In an age where consumers are more powerful than ever, and have almost unlimited choices of how to spend their time, brands should stop trying to interrupt them, and instead should try to produce content that is appealing enough for people to want to watch on their own. Even more, brands should strive to produce content that consumers would want to recommend to their friends, and content that will get them involved and talking about it through social media. Brands should aim to produce advertising that is loved by their audiences.TRANSCRIPT

Back in 1979, when I was a kid, we only had two TV channels in Greece.
Channel 1The Dukes of Hazard
Channel 2Some other program
Limited choices for viewers – maximum impact for adsAll boys my age watched “The Dukes” and all the advertising that went with it.
We would then have to wait a week for the next episode.

going on at the other channels, that was targeting kids his age.

You can watch only what you want
On demand, avoiding commercials And he can keep on watching Thomas all day long, since even when the program ends, he brings out the DVD’s
we’ve bought him. And of course, he avoids any commercial breaks this way.

Interacting with your favorite content
Online, rich media experiences that engage usersAnd as if that wasn’t enough, he then takes me to the computer to play with the interactive games
at the official website, “thomasandfriends.com”

Sharing content with friends
Broadband and the power of Social Networks…and sometimes he likes to watch the videos other kids from around the world have uploaded on YouTube, with
their Thomas train sets, in action. Soon he’ll be discussing about his favorite content, though social media.

It’s not “I don’t know what to see…”

Branded entertainment is judged in terms of story, acting & direction.
Branded entertainment isn’t judged by audiences in terms of web design of flash techniques. It’s judged like a movie or a TV series. People want to see a moving story, that is well acted and directed.
Hollywood has placed really high standards for our advertising to compete!

But if you manage to put your heart into it, combined with the talent of capable craftsmen, you stand a chance to make people actually “love” the advertising, the same way they love a real movie. Like these few quotes show,
from the many notes users wrote on the facebook fan page for “Love at first site”.
