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 !

The 10 most frequently asked marketing questionSheejo George
Every marketer is bound to seek answers to various marketing related questions. If you are one of the marketers plagued by marketing questions, you have arrived at the right place. This blog post discusses 10 marketing questions and their answers in detail.
J'ai rédigé ce document qui collecte des faits et des exemples internationnaux dans la perspective du prochain PARIS 2.0 qui aura lieu fin Février début Mars et au cours duquel les profesionnels francais partagerons leur exemples de branded entertainment francais. La conversation à déjà lieu sur twitter via le hashtag #entertain_me. Tout le monde peut partager ses liens les plus amusant pour qu'on s'amuse 2 minutes au travail.
A l'instar de COCA COLA ZERO qui fait jouer ses consommateurs sur son site corporate, certaines marques proposent à leurs consommateurs de les amuser.
Ces marques qui marchent dans les pas Disney, la marque préfèrée des américains ne cherchent pas être des acteurs du marché du divertissement. Elles utilisent le branded entertainment pour interesser les consommateurs à leurs produits, capter leur attention et peut être gagner leur affection, voire pour mieux les connaitre pour
mieux les satisfaire.
En effet comme le montre GOOGLE qui annonce que 77% des americains consultent un autre écran pendant qu'ils regardent la TV, si les consommateurs sont de plus en plus connectés, ils sont de moins en moins disponibles pour les marques.
Produire des contenus divertissant apparait comme la solution la plus appropriée aux usages des americains qui passent 9 minutes par heure à se divertir en ligne (Experian). D'autant plus que les marques ne cherchent plus seulement à augmenter leur couverture avec un coup de buzz, elles cherchent à obtenir des retombées sur leur marque et au premier rang desquelles l'incitation à recommander
comme le révèlle une étude de OGILVY SOCIAL selon laquelle les marques ne parviennent pas à mobiliser leurs fans en ligne.
Si le branded entertainment est relativement bien accepté par les consommateurs, les annonceurs ont encore beaucoup de chemin à parcourir avec leurs agences pour arriver au niveau d'attractivité des contenus diffusés par BUDWEISER sur sa plateforme "made for music".
Ces annonceurs sollicitent leurs agences medias pour promouvoir leurs contenus transmedia. Ainsi quand MITSUBISHI sponsorise une émission diffusée à la TV, Absolut monte un partenariat éditorial avec VICE et NT1 diffuse son hashtag #walkingdeadNT1 via des ecards sur Twitter.
Divertir permet à ces marques de prendre vie dans le quotidien de leurs consommateurs en étant vraiment fédèrateur, utile et directement activables comme AMERICAN EXPRESS qui permet aux gens de partager leurs passions, L'Oreal qui aide à reproduire les looks vus à la TV ou IKEA qui donne accès à des contenus additionnels au fil de son catalogue.
Elles peuvent aller jusqu'à engager leurs consommateurs en temps réel, dans des moments forts en émotion comme DELL avec #DELLLIVE qui permet aux festivaliers de vivre des expériences augmentées ou tout simplement comme COCA COLA qui ajoute le WIFI à ses fontaines à soda.
Pour y parvenir les marques ont besoin de collecter de nouvelles donné

2. The word viral means, “an image, video,
advertisement, etc., that is circulated
rapidly on the Internet.”
Marketing by definition is, “the action or
business of promoting and selling
products or services, including market
research and advertising.”
3. 1. a direct marketing technique in which
a company persuades internet users to
forward its publicity material in e-mails
(usually by including jokes, games, video
clips, etc)
2. a marketing strategy in which
conventional media are eschewed in
favour of various techniques designed to
generate word-of-mouth publicity, in the
hope of creating a fad or craze
4. Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith, creators of
Hotmail.com, needed a cheap and
efficient way to market their email service
website. Attached at the end of every
email sent from a Hotmail account would
be the words, “Want a Free Email
Account? Sign up with Hotmail Today!”
Every person that received the email could
easily click on the hyperlink and open their
very own account.
5. After its first month of enticing customers
with the promise of a completely free
email service, they had 20,000 new
registered users.
Hotmail is the very first company to have
viral success and therefore are widely
considered the creators of viral Marketing.
6. How can you make a successful viral
video?
There is no right or wrong way to make a
video. Sometimes it‟s just luck and timing
and other times it‟s a carefully thought out
process. Most videos that go viral consist of
six or seven elements that help in making
them viral.
7. 1. Emotion
A successful video needs to trigger some
sort of emotion in the viewer. You must
decide what kind of emotional reaction
you would like from your viewer. Is your
video supposed to trigger happiness,
laughter, sadness, anger or thoughtprovoking?
8. 2. Do the Unexpected
Even though your main reason should be
to promote your item, company or self, it
should be subtly introduced in the ad.
For example, the “Will it Blend?” ads were
promoting a blender, but instead of talking
about the blender they‟d capture your
attention by blending something
unexpected, like an iPad.
9. 3. Create a Story
Nobody wants to watch a commercial of
self promotion. People want to watch two
minutes stories.
Allow your item or company to be part of
a larger story, not the center of it.
10. 4. Don‟t believe the Sequel Curse
Making a movie sequel usually ends in
failure, but that is not the case in viral
marketing. Take advantage of the
attention your first video receives. Don‟t let
the curse discourage you. A great video
will always leave the viewers with a desire
for more.
11. 5. Click here to share
Most websites like YouTube, Facebook and
Twitter have some sort of SHARE button.
Promote your viewers to share the video on
their personal websites, blogs, Facebook
and YouTube accounts. Remember, they
have friends and family that haven‟t seen
your video just yet.
12. 6. Be Interactive
Allow yourself to be accessible. The more
people feel like they can relate to you, the
more they‟ll keep watching. People love
feeling heard. Make a contest, answer
some questions and if possible, mention
the word FREE. Who can resist free things?
18. 1. Offensive
Yes, you want to trigger an emotion from the
viewer but you never want to offend a viewer.
2. Length
Lets be honest, short and sweet works every
time.
3. What was your point?
You want to be subtle in what your promoting,
but you don‟t want to leave your viewers
confused.
19. YouTube
Probably the biggest video-based
platform. Companies are now creating
their own channel and launching
marketing campaigns specifically for the
web.
20. Facebook
You get to „like‟ your favorite brands and
companies. Keeps you updated on new
products and services. Allows for
interaction between consumer and
supplier. The share button is the greatest
weapon for viral marketing.
Twitter
Great way for self promotion. Ex.
#wearewinter
21. Although, viral marketing has become the
quickest, cheapest and most efficient way
for huge companies to reach a mass
audience in a short amount of time, there
is no doubt that anyone can do it.
YouTube is a great example of how a
simple video can garner a great amount
of views. Don‟t be shy. Give it a try!
