Brands are increasingly telling stories through multimedia like videos, interactive articles and web series instead of traditional television ads. This allows them to immerse audiences in compelling narratives that build connections to the brand. The document discusses how Converse created an interactive story using parallax scrolling techniques, how Chipotle produced a web series to comment on issues in food production, and how clothing brand Ledbury uses documentary-style videos and unique lookbooks to share their brand identity. It also provides tips for crafting narratives that transport audiences, focusing on high-quality execution, and distributing content through the right mediums.

The November edition of the DERT (Digital Entertainment, Rights & Technology) team’s trend report, giving a snapshot of the hottest consumer, technology, brand and entertainment trends.
Welcome to the next edition of our Near Future Report prepared in close cooperation with the LHBS Inspiration-Hub.
In this report, we will be tackling the 3 following themes:
- Shared Value Creation - where we will explore how to create new and valuable relationships between brands and consumers above and beyond UGC
- Unconventional Touch Points - where we focus on reaching audiences through unconventional channels while building loyalty through offering useful experiences & services
- Virtual Reality - a well-known trend that deserves a closer look since it will increasingly determine how we consume media in the nearest future.
Take a look at our three stories where we identify what is happening, why is it important for brands and also a few recommendations from our side.
Here at Punch, innovating around the latest trends is a huge part of what we do - looking out for new opportunities and helping our clients differentiate themselves with bold, original campaigns.
2018 was an exciting year creatively, with trends like AR and shoppable 360 video taking brand experiences to a whole new level. As new techniques and platforms like TikTok bubble to the surface, what does 2019 have in store?
Let’s take a closer look...

Tackling the Great Consumer Attention Deficit: SxSW Panel PreviewUnmetric
This is a preview of the SxSW Panel proposed by Unmetric, Elizabeth Arden, and Lippe Taylor. To vote for this panel now, visit: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/17844.
These days, communication is free: the problem is attention. As new technologies and platforms continue to emerge, marketers are consistently required to change the way they communicate. And, as audience attention spans become shorter and shorter, brands must harness new and creative forms of micro-content to evoke the same deep connections as the large campaigns of the past.
Welcome to the latest edition of our Snapshot. In this edition, we will demonstrate how collaborations help businesses to stay on top of the game and generate more sales and stay relevant for their customers.
The report is divided into three parts:
Expanding Customer Segments- Collaborations are launched to expand existing customer segments and open up promising industry segments.
Enhancing Product & Service Experience - Enhancing the product and service experience in order to engage existing customers even more and tie them stronger to the brand.
Cultivating Existing Relationships- Enhancing customer satisfaction beyond core offerings to strengthen customer loyalty.
The Publisher’s Guide to eCommerce: Case StudiesDamian Radcliffe
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected most industries, including the publishing and media sectors. Arguably, the advertising downturn associated with the pandemic makes it clearer than ever that companies need to diversify their revenue streams.
Facing an "extinction event," as the current crisis has been called, may encourage publishers
to look again at eCommerce and its potential.
In doing this, it makes strategic sense for publishers to identify propositions which build on their existing relationship with audiences; and which play to their strengths. Audience data and insights, coupled with trust and name recognition, are valuable commodities which can be harnessed to support eCommerce activities.
Historically, as BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti noted at the start of 2020, media companies have not done a good job of this. “….A longstanding problem in the media industry where content creators provide the inspiration to buy a new product, go on a vacation, or watch a new show–but don’t capture much of the economic value created," he argued. "This is sometimes referred to as the “attribution problem,” where Google and other middlemen end up capturing value they didn’t create. We see a real opportunity for us to reclaim some of that profit.”
Peretti, as this new report shows, is not alone in this optimism. If publishers can further understand, and anticipate, the user journey - including the role of content as a driver for purchase decisions - then this remains a firm foundation on which eCommerce products and properties can be built.

“The Evolution of Media: How Technology & Content Can Impact a Brand & the Bottom Line”
In a world where “every brand is a publisher,” Shane Snow, founder of Contently, says to win at business, brands need to make content, and make it about their audience. But, as companies start building digital newsrooms, what do they need to succeed? Dynamic and informative, Snow challenges businesses to embrace the evolution of media by suggesting that giving away audience-focused content is cheaper, more inspiring and better for the world than interruptive marketing. Attendees came away with an understanding of how to use digital media to win customers and advocates at a fraction of the cost per acquisition of traditional advertising.

In This Chapter, We Will Address
the Following Questions
1. What is the role of marketing communications?
2. How do marketing communications work?
3. What are the major steps in developing effective communications?
4. What is the communications mix, and how should it be set?
5. What is an integrated marketing communications program?
Ocean Spray has revitalized its brand
through extensive new product develop-
ment and a thoroughly integrated modern
marketing communications program.
PART 7 Communicating Value
Chapter 17 | Designing and Managing Integrated Marketing Communications
Chapter 18 | Managing Mass Communications: Advertising, Sales Promotions, Events and Experiences, and Public Relations
Chapter 19 | Managing Personal Communications: Direct and Interactive Marketing, Word of Mouth, and Personal Selling
Modern marketing calls for more than developing a good product, pricing it
attractively, and making it accessible. Companies must also communicate with their present and
potential stakeholders and the general public. For most marketers, therefore, the question is not
whether to communicate but rather what to say, how and when to say it, to whom, and how often.
Consumers can turn to hundreds of cable and satellite TV channels, thousands of magazines and
newspapers, and millions of Internet pages. They are taking a more active role in deciding what
communications they want to receive as well as how they want to communicate to others about
the products and services they use. To effectively reach and influence target markets, holistic
marketers are creatively employing multiple forms of communications. Ocean Spray—an agricultural
cooperative of cranberry growers—has used a variety of communication vehicles to turn its sales
fortunes around.
Facing stiff competition, a number of adverse consumer trends, and nearly a decade of
declining sales, Ocean Spray COO Ken Romanzi and Arnold Worldwide decided to
“reintroduce the cranberry to America” as the “surprisingly versatile little fruit that
supplies modern-day benefits,” through a true 360-degree campaign that used all
facets of marketing communications to reach consumers in a variety of settings. The
intent was to support the full range of products—cranberry sauce, fruit juices, and dried cranberries
in different forms—and leverage the fact that the brand was born in the cranberry bogs and
remained there still. The agency decided to tell an authentic, honest, and perhaps surprising story
dubbed “Straight from the Bog.” The campaign was designed to also reinforce two key brand bene-
fits—that Ocean Spray products tasted good and were good for you. PR played a crucial role.
Miniature bogs were brought to Manhattan and featured on an NBC Today morning segment.
A “Bogs across America Tour” brought the experience to Los Angeles,
Chicago, and even London. Television and print advertising featured
two growers (depicted by actors) standing waist-deep in a bog and
talking ...
Marketers have been slow to adapt to a post-campaign world where the old familiar rules of brand-building are obsolete. To connect with customers today marketers must not only manage channel complexity, they must make the brand more relevant and central to their lives.

It was difficult to avoid the concept of crowdsourcing in 2009. Books were written, contests were held, agencies were formed and ultimately, sides were taken. But for me the jury is still very much out on crowdsourcing. No, not in the ‘is it a fad, or here to stay’ sense, I think the answer there is clear. Crowdsourcing has actually been around for a while and it is here to stay. Rather, I’m still conflicted regarding its effectiveness and more specifically, how is it being used (and misused) and what new forms will it take as more people experiment with the concept.

that just can’t be ignored.
We’re quickly waving goodbye to the age of the amateur brand blog post and
welcoming the dawn of the content marketing arms race—a battle that’s just now
heating up between some of the most creative and innovative brands on earth.

Change is coming. Look no further
than Google’s “Generation C.”
The “C” stands for connection, community, creation,
and curation, and the tech giant calls this demographic
“a powerful new force in culture and commerce.”
Members of Generation C don’t fall under a specific
range of birthdays, but 65 percent of them are under
35 years old. And according to YouTube
Insights, this Gen C audience is twice as
likely to favor watching YouTube videos
by brands versus TV commercials.
If you prefer to examine traditional
generations, you’ll find that one-third of
Millennials now watch absolutely no broadcast TV,
according to a 2014 New York Times study. Whichever
way you slice it, the message is clear: the effective-
ness of traditional TV advertising is in decline, and
brands need to find an alternative moving forward.
What’s emerging is the beginning of a renaissance
in brand storytelling through multimedia as brands
break out of the confines of the 30-second spot to
experiment with immersive, in-depth narratives.
Forward-thinking brands are also moving past the
simple, text-only blog posts of the 1.0 era to embrace
the power of visual storytelling.
Brands aren’t just telling these
new stories for cool points, either;
opting for the same goal that always
drove TV advertising: brand lift. A
recent study on Forbes.com readers shows people
who consume a piece of branded content are 41
percent more likely to express an intent to buy from
that brand, and Buzzfeed’s case studies have found
that repeated exposure to branded content delivers
a brand lift upwards of 400 percent.
We’re still in the honeymoon period, but let’s take
a Three Little Bears approach and examine how
three pioneer brands—one big, one medium, and
one small—are embracing this trend. Then, we’ll
look at a few keys to successful brand storytelling
through multimedia.

Telling Great
Multimedia Stories
Given these brands succeed by focusing more on
spreading stories than buying paid advertising, how
do we know which experimental strategies will work
for others?
While there’s no secret formula, there are tactics
proven to succeed.
Craft compelling narratives—
even if they’re not true
There’s one element that every story needs to be
persuasive: narrative transportation.
“Narrative transportation is the state
of being immersed in the world of a
story. People feel like they’ve left the
real world behind and are cognitively
and emotionally engaged in the story
world,” says Dr. Melanie Green, a social
psychologist.
According to Green, people who are transported
lose track of time and are immersed in mental
images from the story. “This experience of being
transported helps create the persuasive impact of a
story—transported readers [and] viewers are more
likely to shift their real-world beliefs to match the
implications or conclusions of the story.”
This means that a truly compelling and transporting
story can help the audience understand—and even
agree with—the beliefs encouraged by the storyteller.
Transportation works so well that
it doesn’t even matter if the story
is true. In fact, fiction is often as
persuasive as fact.
“Even though people think that
they won’t be persuaded by
fiction, the evidence shows other-
wise,” Green explains. “People can
be just as affected by stories that
could happen as those that actually
happened. It seems that people
don’t really care about whether a
story is about real people and events
as long as the story is plausible.”
The research suggests adding factual talking points
might not help a story’s persuasiveness. It’s all about
the connection with the audience.
This means that a truly
compelling and transporting
story can help the audience
understand—and even agree
with—the beliefs encouraged
by the storyteller.
“Even though
people think
that they won’t
be persuaded
by fiction, the
evidence shows
otherwise,” Green
explains. “People
can be just as
affected by stories
that could happen
as those that
actually happened.

Mind the medium
Brands must also be able to distribute stories in a
way that fits the audience and the message.
Ledbury, for example, distributes effectively by testing
and paying attention to how they are packaging
content.“Each medium serves a different primary
purpose,” Calabro said. “It’s a new playing field for
a lot of us here, whether the new element is retail,
menswear, e-commerce, etc… so it’s been
interesting to see the results and shape
our strategy accordingly.”
Critchlow advises against falling into the
trap of treating new storytelling and branding
media like traditional media. According to
him, TV commercials interrupt shows, and
the audience expects this interruption. But
when the audience is on YouTube, where they typically
self-serve content, ads are just skipped.
“This has always happened,” he said. “The early
radio ads were newspaper ads read aloud. The early
TV ads were radio ads with images. And it’s no wonder
that online video ads currently look too often like TV
ads on the internet.”
In other words, don’t use TV conventions in doc-
umentary sales videos and don’t treat immersive
longform stories like sales copy. It’s best to find
how your audience behaves when interacting with
a specific medium and use that information to benefit
your story.
Finally, it’s also important to have a clear separation
between content meant for sales and content meant
for branding. “Content designed to seal the deal has
its place, but it can’t be the same content that builds
your brand,” explained Critchlow.
