50 great reasons and creative examples for brands to use branded entertainmen...nous sommes vivants
Branded entertainment is not only "fun" brand content it's all the types of brand content that can satisfy the centers of interest of an audience on TV or on line : sports, music, films, ... It's not editorial content however it embodies the brand values and communicates on it's products.
1- Brands as fun destinations
Firstly, we're all used to seeing brands sponsoring entertainment as a means to get their logo and messaging in front of consumer eyeballs now brands are becoming destination sites and platforms for entertainment, in and of themselves.
2- Branded fun for new brand fans
Secondly, branded entertainment challenges brands to deliver a more enriching experience that consumers want yet communicate effectively what the brand values or the product benefits. Therefore it requires brands to create high quality branded contents, and not just sponsor an event, advertise within the programs, or create an ephemeral buzz.
3- Fun campaigns to promote fun contents
Brands investing in branded entertainment don‘t simply advertise on line. They use the tools that are available to best promote their content : paid media, owned media, earned media.
4- The new brand to fans relationship
Brands are able to develop an enduring direct-to-consumer relationship thanks to the quality content, however their potential fan base is much wider than their brand fans and they need to animate the extended fan community.
5- Live events for real time experiences
Communication enters a new era of real time marketing and brands come to life when people access their content all together at the same time and share their experience.
6- Data to spot fun insights on consumers
Trust me you are going to need it to do all the above !

Brand pages are like info-kiosks, that provide information about brands without actually selling them. They try to gain the attentionof people in the square, with various methods. Here are some quick tips on how to maximize the effectiveness of your brand on social media.
Included are three successive steps to make a viral Facebook application.
You’ve heard of social media, you have a Facebook account, and you may have even delved into the world of tweeting, but are these social medial tools utilized to help jumpstart word of mouth buzz and traffic for your website and business? Learning social media can mean the difference between millions of views. Combining the powerhouse of social media makes your business more relevant, more watched and more successful.
China is considered home to the world's factories, manufacturing everything from zippers to photovoltaic cells and with its population of over 1.3 billion and booming economy, consumerism is on the rise, too. But lets peak into the hidden layer of China's unique blend of creativity and tech innovation. There's the Shanzhai phenomenon - unique to China but even more interesting is looking at how Chinese consumers use technology differently, creating and combining platforms to suit the demands of a generation bred on instant gratification and constant connectivity.
Content marketing is all the rage. In a distracted world, where consumers are bombarded with advertising and overwhelmed by media and device choices, brands are searching for a new ways to connect—ideally over the long term. And many marketers are turning to content with varying degrees of success.
What does it mean for a brand to engage in content? What, exactly, is content anyway? What value is it to brands? Do brands have the right to compete against publishing companies? How do brands know whether or not their content is driving business results?
This whitepaper will touch on all of these topics. But, if there’s one thing to remember, one cardinal rule for brands to follow when starting a content marketing program it is this:
Content is often categorized as art or commodity, but for marketers, that misses the point. First and foremost, it needs to be thought of as a tool for driving discovery, engagement and trial. And, like all tools it has a purpose—to provide value to the consumer. On that score, content can always be optimized to provide ever more consumer value, which translates into ever more brand value.
Written by Craig J. Heimbuch—award-winning journalist and author, best-selling ghostwriter and Senior Content Strategist at Barefoot Proximity—this whitepaper provides a framework for brands looking to stand out by creating lasting, even lifelong relationships with consumers via content.
Branded Entertainment - Love at every sitepsambrakos
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.

Talent Imitates, Genius Steals: Four Chapters on Being Creative in the Digita...edward boches
Thoughts on being creative and finding inspiration. Four chapters: creativity matters more than ever; there's no such thing as an original idea; learn to steal and remix; dissect the formulas in ideas that work. I should note that while the statement in this title has been attributed to Picasso, Oscar Wilde and others, I stole it from Faris Yakob, who has used it for years. Thank you, Faris.
Fast isn't fast enough. (an e-book written and created in three hours)edward boches
Welcome to the second annual “We Wrote a Book in Three
Hours” exercise. To test their creativity, content generating
prowess, collaborative skills and ability to think fast, I asked
students in Strategic Creative Development (a course at Boston
University’s College of Communication) to conceive, write,
sketch and produce this little ebook in three hours. Give or
take a couple of minutes. They had no idea where it would
take them or how they would get there. But here it is. Some
thoughts about who they are as a generation, how they’ve
embraced the age of digital disruption and what it means as
they exit their college years and enter
SxSW observations. Privacy comes out of the closet. Digital manufacturing gets accessible. Social responsibility emerges as a cool thing to do. Actions beat advertising when it comes to marketing. And more.
Lecture I am giving to an introductory creative class. I think it's a good thing to learn some history and have a frame of reference about how we got where we are today. This frames up the Big Idea from the days of Ogilvy and Lois to how creative ideas have and need to evolve.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
3. Quick Recap
Why we advertise
Role of creativity
What makes an ad creativity when it’s a message
4. Ads that earn your attention, but rely on
paid media.
5. ‘
fag.got (fag t) 1. there was
e
a time when the word “faggot”
meant a bundle of sticks. but
then people started using it
in an insulting, offensive way
and things changed. so when
you say things like “homo,”
“dyke” and “that’s so gay” try-
ing to be funny, remember,
you may actually be hurting
someone. 2. so please, knock
it off. 3. get more information

11. They are not going away. But they derive
from an era when we (brands and
marketers) owned the media and could
“broadcast” our sales pitches.
12. Today we live in an age of social media
and participation.
13. Consumers no longer want to play a passive role. Nor do they have to.
At a minimum, they want to choose what they engage with and when
they engage.
More likely they want a chance to comment and share. Ideally, if an
idea is good enough, they’ll actually participate -- sometimes before the
fact, sometimes after -- in the process creating more content that
spreads across the web, attracting attention to the original idea, liking
the brand or the product for allowing them to be part of the experience.
What does a brand have to do or create to achieve such a level of
participation?
15. Think about your own use of technology, media, content.
Consider how you find out about brands and products. Identify the
problems, frustrations, needs you have that brands could solve with
marketing as utility?
Factor in context. Where are you? What are you doing? What
makes sense at that moment?
Ask what a brand has to do to get you to pay attention, engage,
and more importantly, stay involved.

22. How can you demo Ford’s new
Park-Assist feature?
23.
24. Pinball Park Assist
Who: Ford
What: To promote the Active Park Assist feature on the new Ford Focus, Ogilvy of Paris “turned the
quest to find a parking spot in Paris into a giant life-size game of pinball.”
Drivers come across one tiny parallel parking space. “Above the cars stands a giant pinball billboard
that displays each driver’s score as they play the full-size parking game. Sensors in the surrounding
cars’ bumpers register a ‘hit’ anytime they are touched at all. The driver’s score is tallied on the giant
board for everyone to see.”
The “winner” – or worse parker – received a free Ford Focus with the Active Park Assist feature to park
in the space without a single ding.
Why: Leveraged the notoriously difficult parking situations in Paris to highlight the Active Park Assist
feature’s relevance to anyone who drives in the city.

25. How can you encourage trial in a way
that involves users to create content?
26.
27. National Honesty Index
Who: Honest Tea
What: Honest Tea set up its own social experiment this summer with unmanned pop-up stores around
30 cities that asked people to pay $1 when they took a bottle of tea. Unknown to all passersby, Honest
Tea also set up hidden cameras to find out who actually followed the honor system. They then compiled
the data from their videos to create the National Honesty Index, a website that features interactive
infographics about who is honest ... and who is not.
Why: Spreads and builds the brand’s core values in a way is fun, interactive, and shareable for anyone
involved – from those who took tea at the pop-ups to those who check out the infographics

28. How do you get people to drink more of
your beer?
29.
30. Bud Clock:
Who: Budweiser
What: Budweiser created a “Bud Clock” that counts down to the end of the Happy Hour. Every
Budweiser you buy at the bar gets you a QR-coded coaster that, when scanned by the Bud Clock, adds 1
minute to the Happy Hour countdown.
Why: Provides a direct incentive for partygoers to purchase more Budweisers at the exact point of
purchase
Link: http://adsoftheworld.com/media/ambient/budweiser_budclock
33. Charmin’ Sit or Squat
Who: Charmin
What: An app to help people identify clean, nearby public restrooms from their phone.
Using basic mobile technology and location based services, users can simply open the app and find a
restroom.
More importantly, they can contribute by uploading locations that they identify with a few simply entries.
And, if they are so inclined, they can join, which, of course, gives the brand data about who they are and
where they go.
Why: Provide utility, marketing as service, capture data, hope that doing something for customers
translates into loyalty or trial.

36. What is the shortcoming of efforts
like these?
37. Hard to scale, can’t guarantee size of
audience or reach, slower build.
38. Need a combination of everything.
Driving brand idea.
Advertising for awareness.
Social for engagement.
Experiential to connect in context.
Mobile to be ever-present.
Shareable ideas to be viral.
Platforms to be lasting vs temporary.
39. So now what are the fundamentals of
creative development?
