3. How Brands turn themselves into Media companies
• Today, traditional advertising shows its limitations
• Advertisers have understood it and have become content
creators
• Consumers look for brands that make sense, they have thirst
for core values
• Brands can market more effectively and build loyalty by
informing and entertaining customers
• The point is not inundating people any more with thousands of
commercial messages, but telling a story and offering an
experience

5. How Brands turn themselves into Media companies
• To be more visible, draw attention and create preference,
brands have to go beyond a commercial relationship
• People are not only consumers, but also individuals: brands
have to create a relation with them as a person first, not as a
client
• The idea is to provide content for the benefit of the consumer,
rather than just selling something
• The new way:
– Engage people
– Make them invest time in brands
– Make them like, share, spread and connect
6. How Brands turn themselves into Media companies
• This trend is called Content Marketing
• Content marketing is not new, brands have been telling
stories to attract and retain customers for hundreds of years
• The difference is that today there are no more barriers for
brands to become publishers
• Content Acceptance
Brands don’t have to be the Wall Street Journal to have their
customers accept and engage in their content
• Talent
Today, writers and creators are ready to help brands produce
great content. They are less ashamed of working for non-
media brands
• Technology
Anyone can publish content on the web today for almost no
investment

9. Offering an experience
‘Now, we communicate less through image, more
through reality.
For a long time, thanks to Nike, we dreamt about
jumping as high as Michael Jordan.
Today, with Nike + Sports Kit, the idea is to enable
ordinary people to perform feats in real life by
measuring the distance of their walk or run.’
Dominique Delport,
CEO Havas Media

be more and more sophisticated
A bad gameplay can be disappointing and counter-productive
