“Rise of the SuperFans: Growing TV Audience by Empowering Digital Communities”
Josh Richman, Vice President of Marketing, WGN America
Keith Blanchard, Creative Director, Story Worldwide
“Involve the fans” is the sine qua non of digital marketing today. But to date, these participation opportunities have been strictly limited. What happens if you let brand advocates all the way into the tent? Josh Richman, VP of Marketing for WGN America, Tribune Broadcasting’s national cable network, and Keith Blanchard, executive creative director of Story Worldwide, show how you can drive offline behavior through digital by involving advocates materially in the creation of content, and curating the digital communities that form around it.
This session will show you how managing digital communities can generate productive offline behavior while lowering traditional ad spend. Today, WGNA features “Superfans” in TV spots, tweeters show up in crawls during shows, and fans program the lineup for episode marathons. In exchange, WGNA has been able to leverage each show’s existing online fan base to drive audience, positioning WGNA well for the long-term transition from lean-back-TV to online-interactive experience.
Presented at TMKedu by Sean Galligan on July 16, 2014

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
