Here's Why Your Brand Needs A Story

Here's Why Your Brand Needs A Story | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

 

Christine Grové talks with Jeff Gomez about the power of transmedia storytelling for brands.

 

"Transmedia Storytelling is a model that will create various access points for consumers to get to your brand. It’s a process of engaging an audience across numerous forms of media through the artful and well-planned use of multiple-platform storytelling. And it can be applied to any brand of any size."

Transmedia Storytelling: Building Worlds For and With Fans | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Gianluca Fiorelli:  "Every brand has a story to tell, and the way users consume stories is changing faster than ever. How will you tell your brand's story across multiple media outlets and platforms, while still giving users an active role in the expansion process?"

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

An excellent look at transmedia storytelling and fandom.

Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight, May 2, 2013 2:17 AM

Brand experience is already 'transmedia,' but the opportunity with media convergence is to make it a coordinated story-based experience designed for audience participation.  Narrative = cognitive coherence and participation = stakeholders.

Charles Martini's curator insight, May 18, 2013 6:55 AM

Is Twitter a Gold Mine for Character-Based Brand Storytelling? | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Jon Thomas:  "In August 2009, Sloth tweeted “Hey you guys!” His handle: @SlothGoonies. His location: In a basement. His run on Twitter lasted only two months and garnered only 20 followers, but they were a glorious two months for those of us who love Goonies."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

It's not just Brands who will find this article interesting. Points discussed are of value to all storytellers.

Nicole O'Rourke's curator insight, September 4, 2013 8:34 PM

This is an interesting take on affective disposition theory using twitter. Characters actions, intentions, attitudes or statements can remind people of their own life. The use of twitter allows people to become active participants. This article describes clearly how social media can be used as a form of entertainment as well as opening the door for marketers to use social media to create characters or transfer previously used characters in order to relate and interact with consumers.

Pete Sena:  "At its core, VR is the ultimate manifestation of the collision between our physical and digital worlds. But the digital technology must be advanced enough that it is able to trick the human mind — a pretty intelligent computer that can detect the slightest delta from how we perceive our physical world and cause the entire digital reality to fall apart."

He trobat aquest contingut a través del cercador de Scoop.it, en el qual he escrit: ''Transmedia'', i automàticament m'ha suggerit ''interesting topics about <<transmedia>>''. He fet clic en la primera suggerència que m'ha ofert: '''Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age'', que és una sèrie de continguts curats per l'usuari ''The Digital Rocking Chair''. Aleshores, he seleccionat aquest contingut en concret degut al meu interés.

 

Aquest article prové de la pàgina web de la Dr. Pamela Rutledge (directora del ''Media Psychology Research Center''), la qual es dedica a analitzar la intersecció entre el comportament humà i la tecnologia. En el post ens diu que tota marca explica una història al darrere, i que aquesta història és el resultat de la intersecció entre la passió del creador i la intenció dels objectius que vol assolir. A la vegada, ens diu que aquesta història, es vulgui o no, es transmet a través de múltiples plataformes (TV, web, mòbil, amics...). A partir d'aquí ens explica que, de tota manera, comporta i implica força feina crear una narrativa transmèdia coherent i consistent que tingui l'eficàcia que tota marca busca. Com a conclusió, ens diu que crear una transmèdia en una marca és tota una estratègia de mercat.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Paul Tassi:  "Unlike many out there, I don’t believe the validity of video gaming as an adult pastime lives and dies by its depiction in other forms of media, especially television. And yet, there is something to be said about a nuanced portrayal of a non-traditional gamer in a show like House of Cards, even if it only gets it right some of the time."

"We use a comprehensive campaign approach, which we’ve coined 360° Storyweaving. An optimum 360° Storyweaving Campaign includes three distinct phases:


The Creation Phase, where we create and design the storyworld and story components around an original concept;

The Immersion Phase, where we design and plan strategy on how to immerse the audience further into the storyworld through thematic merchandising and media blurring;

The Community Phase, where we build communities through online engagement and interactivity as well as implement social outreach, which springs from the original purpose and theme of the project.


For us, the actual construction of the storyworld takes place in the Creation Phase, so that’s what we’ll focus on in this obnoxiously long blog entry. Here are the four most important rules we follow" ...
