3. They advised against including rude gestures, violence, religion or politics to maintain the intended feel.
4. Examples of liked elements included a singer-focused video cut to the beat of the song, and good choreography.
5. A performance-based rather than narrative-based video was preferred.
The student's research has informed their film publicity campaign in several ways:

3) Target audiences were selected from supernatural and "slasher" horror films to match the student's film's themes and content.
4) Digital technologies like blogs, Facebook, and Myspace were utilized to advertise the film and engage target audiences online.

The document discusses the results of a survey distributed on Facebook to gather audience feedback on landscape images of Salford Quays. 100% of respondents felt the images promoted Salford Quays positively. 80% thought the vibrant colors used were very good while 20% thought they were good. 60% felt the composition was very good and 40% thought it was good. Image 5 was the most liked by 50% of respondents, while Image 10 was the most disliked.
This document evaluates a media project analyzing the music video for Radiohead's "2+2=5". It discusses how the video uses conventions of the alternative rock music genre like slow motion, black and white footage, and nonlinear narrative. Audience feedback was positive about the camera work, editing, and technical aspects, but some felt parts were out of sync and the story didn't make sense. Going forward, the creators could focus on syncing footage better, experimenting with effects, and considering incorporating a clearer narrative.
The document summarizes the results of questionnaires given to the target audience for a documentary project. The questionnaires covered topics like preferred content, style, and format for the documentary, promotional poster, and radio advertisement. Overall, the responses indicated that the audience prefers a mixture of cinematic shots and interviews for the documentary, close-up shots of interviewees, instrumental music for the radio advertisement, and a simple design with the image as the main focus for the promotional poster.
From audience feedback on a questionnaire, the filmmakers learned:
1) Their target audience prefers teen-centered paranormal horror subgenres.
2) The most important aspects of a horror trailer are the film name and music.
3) Websites like IMDb provided insight into target audiences' trailer preferences.
The filmmakers applied this by including teen characters, prominently displaying the film name, and adding suitable music. Viewers of the completed trailer responded positively about the paranormal elements and use of text and color. Feedback on the poster and magazine cover praised the poster's simplicity while noting the magazine could include more content.
The document provides tips for creating an effective poster, including making it interesting and striking to capture people's attention. Key recommendations are to include essential information like the title, names, and date, keep the design simple, consider the target audience, take inspiration from other effective posters, use high-quality photography, and pay attention to color theory, typography, and layout. The overall goal is to create a poster that is eye-catching from a distance but also looks professional.

And since earlier this year, the use of cookies has been regulated by the EU. How are these three things connected? What do they mean for marketers? And is any of this a good thing? This presentation aims to find out.

Rand Fishkin presented data on key trends in search engine optimization and search behavior in 2017. Some of the main trends discussed included the rise of predictive intent and implied queries based on user location and history, the growth of voice assistants and voice search, and uncertainty around the future of net neutrality regulations. Fishkin also highlighted the increasing importance of ranking in featured snippets and answer boxes in search engine results pages.
Rand Fishkin presented data on key changes in the search landscape in 2017, including:
- Google handles over 2 trillion searches per year on Google.com alone. The average searcher does 3.4 queries per day on desktop and mobile.

- Google increasingly understands searchers' implied intent through location, device data, search history and more to deliver personalized results.
- Voice assistants pose a larger threat than voice search as they aim to provide answers directly without search results.

The document discusses the theory of search incrementality, also known as 1+1=3. It argues that having both organic and paid search listings for a brand or keyword provides greater visibility than either channel alone, leading to increased click-through rates and site visits beyond what would be expected from simply adding the individual results. The document uses Kelis' song "Milkshake" as a metaphor to explain the theory, interpreting her lyrics as referring to the benefits of a holistic search strategy with both organic and paid components.

Through The Looking Glass: Media In 2014 And BeyondCiarán Norris
In 2014 it will be 25 years since Sir Tim Berners-Lee proposed the idea of the world wide web, and 24 years since it actually launched.
Since then 1/3 of the Australian population has been born, meaning connectivity is now taken for granted, whilst the media landscape has changed in numerous ways, some less obvious than they may first appear.
We all know that the newspaper industry is declining, but what is likely to emerge from the ruins? We know that Google sits at the centre of many people’s media lives, but where are they heading now? And just why is it that Australia leads the way for illegal downloads? This presentation examines what the Australian media landscape of 2014 looks like, where it is heading and what it means for agencies, clients and content creators.
tech giant Apple has bought Dr. Dre's company Beats. Many have asked why they would buy a company that makes headphones but there appear to be plenty of good reasons.
This document discusses trends in digital media in Australia in 2014. It identifies 7 major themes: 1) there is no longer a distinction between new and traditional media, 2) audiences are outpacing the media industry in their digital behaviors, 3) computing is becoming truly personal through mobile and connected devices, 4) content is available everywhere through various platforms and devices, 5) attention is a limited resource fought over by different platforms and apps, 6) most media consumption now occurs on screens through activities like streaming, and 7) data collection practices like cookies are coming under increased scrutiny and regulation.
Facebook has made another foray into the mobile app space with its purchase of messaging company WhatsApp for $19 billion. Focus now will be on how an ad-free subscription based products fits into Facebook's eco-system.
Mobilising Media: Dublin Web Summit PresentationCiarán Norris

It notes that over 100 million smartphones were shipped in Q4 2010 and 63 million iPads were sold in 2011.

Make Me A Viral: Making The Most Of YouTubeCiarán Norris
The document discusses viral marketing and provides tips for creating viral content. It defines viral marketing as marketing techniques that use social networks to spread brand awareness analogously to how viruses spread. While you can't force content to go viral, the document provides examples of types of content that typically spread virally, such as funny, unbelievable, or informative content. It also gives tips for optimizing video content on YouTube, such as using catchy headlines and allowing comments. The overall message is that creativity, not objectives or strategies, is key to potential virality.
Fairfax recently redesigned their newspaper homepages, making them wider with more images and shared content. However, the redesign feels outdated by trying to surface too much content in one homepage, making it busy and ignoring mobile and social media trends. With so much content below the initial view, this design does not suit how readers arrive via search or social media or use on mobile. It also does not provide the metrics advertisers now demand to know their ads are viewable. Fairfax has invested in content but will need to adjust their homepage design to better meet modern reader and advertiser needs as they launch online subscription services.
Facebook has released an application called Facebook Home that changes how Android phones operate by replacing the home screen and lock screen with a live News Feed. It allows messaging through Chat Heads that overlay other applications. Facebook Home will be available on a variety of Android devices through Google Play. This move shows Facebook's ambition to dominate mobile platforms as on desktop, potentially building large customer data pools. However, it may backfire by alienating users concerned about data access or prompting Google to limit Facebook's access to Android as a competitor.
Yahoo! acquired the social blogging platform Tumblr for $1.1 billion in an effort to attract younger users and revitalize the Yahoo! brand. This was Yahoo!'s largest acquisition under CEO Marissa Mayer, but monetizing Tumblr's large user base of mostly young users who generate large amounts of user-generated and adult content will be challenging. If Mayer can convince advertisers to spend on Tumblr while keeping users satisfied, it could become Yahoo!'s version of YouTube, but Tumblr's content and fickle user base may cause it to fail to live up to the high purchase price like other past acquisitions.
Mindshare POV: Australian Online Ad Spend Overtakes FTA TVCiarán Norris
- The IAB/PwC report found that internet advertising spending in Australia from January to June 2013 was $1,883 million, surpassing free-to-air TV spending of $1,805 million for the first time. However, SMI data, which tracks only agency spending, still shows digital spending trailing TV.
- The discrepancy is likely because SMI misses direct spending on digital publishers like Google and Facebook, whose largest advertisers often don't use agencies and manage activity from overseas. This explains the $1.2 billion difference between the reports.
- It remains to be seen if online advertising surpassing TV is a seasonal change or a structural shift, as online advertising initially overtook but then fell
Mindshare POV: Microsoft's Steve Ballmer RetiresCiarán Norris
Steve Ballmer announced his retirement as CEO of Microsoft. While he grew revenues significantly in his 15 years as CEO, critics argue he missed opportunities in key trends dominated by Apple and Google. Microsoft now faces challenges in mobile, search, and adapting its business model for a world where software is increasingly free. The new CEO will need to make important decisions to remain relevant and compete more effectively against rivals.
Mindshare POV: NEC Buys Microsoft Out Of Mi9 Joint VentureCiarán Norris
NEC has announced that it will buy out Microsoft's share of their joint venture Mi9, which will mean NEC now fully owns Mi9. This could influence other similar joint ventures between local media owners and global tech companies. Microsoft will no longer have a say in Mi9's direction or share in its revenues. The deal will allow both NEC and Microsoft to focus more clearly - NEC on content and integrating it across its properties, and Microsoft on its devices and services businesses.
Mindshare POV: Native Brand Ads On Instagram & TwitterCiarán Norris
Instagram has announced its first advertising partners and revealed native ad formats to monetize its audience. Twitter also announced images and videos uploaded to Twitter or Vine will show within tweets in their mobile apps, allowing advertisers to promote tweets with visual content. This highlights a trend towards highly visual and native ads that may challenge traditional display banners. However, challenges remain around interoperability of content across platforms and achieving scale of high quality, creative visual ads like those on Instagram and Twitter given their production costs. Advertisers must find a balance between creative storytelling ads and achieving ROI through efficient standard media buying and leveraging paid media to promote owned content.
1) A select number of companies like Google, Hotmail, Facebook, and YouTube have seen their names become synonymous with parts of the web through providing useful services.
2) These companies largely provided utilities that gave users convenience, like email, search, social networking, and video sharing. Their names became verbs as people started using the services regularly.
3) To succeed on the web, companies need to focus on becoming utilities by making their products and services fast and easy to use. This helps gain widespread adoption and use of their brand names as verbs, like "Google" something.
Mindshare POV; MailOnline Launches In AustraliaCiarán Norris
MailOnline, the online arm of British newspaper The Daily Mail, is launching an Australian version of its site in partnership with NEC's Mi9. This will see MailOnline provide content to drive traffic while Mi9 handles commercialization and sales in Australia. MailOnline has been hugely successful globally by focusing on celebrity and lifestyle content. It will employ 50 editorial staff locally but it remains to be seen if they will focus on entertainment, sports, or actual news coverage. MailOnline believes it can succeed in Australia where other local players are retreating behind paywalls.
Apple has acquired Israeli company PrimeSense, known for its work developing motion tracking and gesture recognition technology used in Microsoft's Kinect. There are several possibilities for how Apple may use PrimeSense's technology, including enhancing entertainment offerings like a rumored Apple smart TV with advanced motion controls, improving Apple's mapping capabilities by adding 3D mapping of indoor spaces, or connecting consumer devices through sensors that can recognize objects and people. While Apple did not disclose its plans, the acquisition of PrimeSense indicates Apple aims to continue leading consumer technology by integrating the latest innovations across its products.

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.
