Creating content for the always-on lives brands now live is intrinsically different to creating advertising content. I delivered this talk at Digital Shoreditch to pull apart those differences in the processes in an effort to explain how to develop and deliver content that bridges the gap between campaigns.
The talk is a whistle stop tour of a process we've developed at AnalogFolk squeezed into 15 minutes. The media analogy to the economic concept of Stock & Flow was introduced by Robin Sloan and is one we've embraced at AnalogFolk. Thanks go out to Noah Brier for drawing attention to it in his excellent AdAge article.
Thanks go out to Matt Dyke for his oversight and the always excellent Kate Sigrist for the sexy divider charts.
