The challenge for many of today’s marketers isn’t just creating content, it’s creating content that stands out from the rest of the online clutter. Whether in the business or consumer space, content marketers want to know why they should invest in interactive content, how they can prove their investment and show ROI, and how other companies are succeeding with interactive content.
The answer lies in positioning your customer at the center of the online experience. But how do brands accomplish this?

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
What are the main advantages of using HR recruiter services.pdfHumanResourceDimensi1
HR recruiter services offer top talents to companies according to their specific needs. They handle all recruitment tasks from job posting to onboarding and help companies concentrate on their business growth. With their expertise and years of experience, they streamline the hiring process and save time and resources for the company.
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
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.

Innovation Mission Participants at Gannett – May 2017
5. GateHouse Media
3 Pillars of Transformation:
Digital Marketing Services (ThriveHive)
Events
Promotions
GOAL: year-over-year revenue growth
by Q2 2018
(Strategic acquisitions are also a huge part of their
growth strategy - $753 M spent so far, not
including Calkins & Morris)
GateHouse Chief Revenue Officer Peter Newton talking to
Swift President Bob Brown during the Boston Innovation Mission
6. GateHouse 3 Pillars:
ThriveHive – going after the ’S’ in SMB -
empowers local business owners to control
their digital marketing, starting at
$49/month. UpCurve/ThriveHive revenue
projected at $75 million by end of 2017.
Events – GateHouse Live is on track to hit
$15 million in revenue in 2017. They will
produce 240 events this year including their
first national event in St Louis, Flavored
Nation.
Promotions – revenue from promotions will
increase by 5X in 2017 (on a large base to
begin with) after the company dedicated
significant resources to this pillar. Second
Street is their partner.
7. The Boston Globe…Doubling
Down on Digital Subscriptions
“By next year, our consumer revenue will be
double the amount of our advertising revenue,”
said Doug Franklin, former CEO, The Boston
Globe.
By the Numbers:
86,000 digital subscribers
$20M in digital subscription revenue in 2017
Expect to reach 100,000 by the end of the year.
The longer term goal is 200,000.
“At $350/year, do the math,” said Franklin, “It’s
pretty good.”
Hard paywall – two stories over a 45-day period.
No exceptions when it comes to social media,
including Facebook.
8. Dallas Morning News: Owning the Funnel
Acquired 6 companies & built new competences to canvass the full marketing funnel
Able to run “full ecosystem campaigns"
9. Entercom Communications – Integrated
Digital Agency Strategy; Digital Power 8
Smart Reach Digital:
90% of their buys are integrated; not digital-only. “If they are not a radio prospect, we
don’t want to sell them” – Tim Murphy (right), VP Digital Strategy
Digital Power 8:
Email, Text, Facebook, Other Social, Internet Radio Stream, Mobile Apps, Websites and Podcasts/On-Demand
Audio.
Where they are NOT placing their bets:
Video: “We think there is enough on the audio side to sustain us for a long time”– Murphy
SEO-only campaigns and the ’S’ in SMB
About Entercom: Entercom owns 125 radio stations in 27 markets and reaches 30 million listeners per week.
Their digital audience adds another 10 million. They are in the process of merging with CBS Radio. The merged
company will operate in 45 markets with a reach of 100 million. After the merger, they will be a $1.8 billion company.
10. Spirited Media/Billy Penn – Digital Alone is
Not Sustainable; Must Be Combined with Events. Also
Testing Membership Model.
EVENTS:
50 in 2016; more than double in 2017 (120 estimated)
65 % of total revenue this year (will remain the fulcrum of the model, even as
additional streams are rolled out)
MEMBERSHIP MODEL NEXT: In Q4, Spirited Media will test a membership
model centered on VIP experiences and special access, without a paywall.
For perhaps $100-$150 annually, a Billy Penn member in Philly might receive a
package that includes admittance to several of the site’s events, plus VIP
access to a Q&A with the mayor or a tour of the Philadelphia Eagles locker
room.
WHAT SUCCESS WILL LOOK LIKE FOR BRADY: a revenue model comprised
of 40% events, 30% digital advertising, 25% membership, and 5% merchandise.
11. McClatchy Doubles Down
on Video
The McClatchy Video Lab serves as an innovation hub for the
company. As a result, their culture is more like a startup than
a legacy media company.
According to Andrew Pergam (right), VP, Video and New
Ventures:
• We operate as a lab – some working on existing business;
some on emerging sectors. We have a solid notion of
where things are going, and more to test.
• We’re startupy – with mission-driven folks on-board
• We’re collaborative – with markets, partners and as a team
• We’re diverse – in our revenue lines, to grow safely, and in
our solutions, to prepare for the unknown.
12. McClatchy Focused on Future
Forms of Video Storytelling
They employ a mad scientist, Ben Connors (right), Team
Lead for Emerging Video Projects, who runs their sandbox
team.
They are highly focused on creating immersive
visualization of objects that can enhance the way they
tell stories.
It would be very difficult to have a team like this inside of
a traditional media company. That’s why the McClatchy
Video Lab operates as a separate entity out of DC.
13. Video Lab West
And soon they will be launching Video Lab West in Sacramento, a
content incubator focused on immersive storytelling and distribution
along with training. They are partnering with Google, YouTube and the
City of Sacramento.
“Experiment with purpose is our mission,” said Meghan Sims (right),
Director of Strategic Video Initiatives, “This will be an open studio with
content teams focused on the future forms of video storytelling. The
future of video is not linear. Forecasts project AR/VR/MR will be a $100+
billion industry by 2020.”
14. Gannett Focuses on
Intrapreneurism
“Intrapreneurism is a big part of our mission,” said Kevin
Poortinga (right), VP of Gannett’s Innovation Lab,
“Every year we host an innovation challenge. We call
for ideas around a particular problem that we have.
Volunteers go through a bootcamp at an accelerator
that is focused on design thinking and lean startup
principles.”
The finalists get in front of THE G.E.T. Tank (Gannett’s
version of Shark Tank).”
The two-year-old Lab has three core focus areas: 1)
storytelling, 2) emerging technology, including VR, 3)
intrapreneurship.
15. Gannett Innovation Lab
Big Bet on VR
Led by Director of 360/VR Robert Padavick (top right), this team has 2
areas of focus:
1.) Passive VR: USA Today Network platforms, YouTube, Facebook,
Samsung Gear VR
2.) Interactive VR (headsets that provide a fully-immersive experience):
Google Daydream, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PlayStation VR. They are also
starting to provide VR as part of branded storytelling programs.
Why VR?
“We do it because it lets the industry and advertisers know that we’re not
just a newspaper, that we’re a digital company. A recent write-up in
Forbes recognized us as the leader in this space – that gets us in the door
for advertisers that we couldn’t talk to before.” – Michael Krinzman,
(bottom right) VP of Video Revenue & Strategy
16. Gannett Innovation
Lab
Other Major Projects:
Podcasts: they produce 60+ across
110 markets
Voice Assistants: running tests on
Alexa and soon Google Home
(”can we deliver conversational
user experiences?)
Experimenting with Chatbox
technology
17. Virginian Pilot – ALL IN on Facebook Instant
Articles
Are You Using Instant Articles to Drive Newsletter
Subscriptions?
“We’re acquiring 175-200 new email signups per
week using this CTA,” said Erica Smith, Online
Editor and Director of Digital Strategy, “It’s the
primary driver for our food newsletter.”
IA also outperformed their mobile web revenue
(and load time) so they are now “all in” with
Instant Articles. Tribune, Billy Penn and USA
Today were all-in as well.
18. BH Media – Building Out a
Transformation Team
Rick Thornton took on the role of Chief Transformation Officer in
January 2017. His charge: build a small team at BH Media’s Omaha
headquarters that will help their local properties (31 daily newspapers
in 10 states) with their innovation/transformation strategies.
The transformation team is being assembled. It will include a project
manager, designer, UX specialist, data analyst, product role/manager
and consumer revenue specialist.
“We publish an inter-company blog to keep everyone informed and
engaged,” says Thornton, “Transparency is very important.”
At the heart of their strategy is putting the customer first and
creating an outstanding user experience. Top areas of focus include:
building a data warehouse, consumer UX and virtual assistant.
