Editor's Notes
- #2 ----- Meeting Notes (10/15/14 08:22) ----- intro name head marketing title
- #3 Started my career in Entertainment Moved to the Bay area to get into Tech and Gaming Caught the startup bug and never looked back. My focus and passion is around Mobile Entertainment.
- #4 Why is this date important? *show iphone* revolutionized the smart phone Redefined portable computing First true touch-focused phone Software was the focus game-changer. Mobile communication and soon mobile entertainment would never be the same. Not everyone thought it was a sure thing. Blackberry fans slow to adapt. $499 and over $100 a month service How often have you said “ what did we do without smart phones?”
- #5 2008 -- App launch: most apps were simple – shotgun app 2009 – Samsung entered and gave Apple some competition -Mobile gaming space was starting to boom – leading indicator of entertainment Game development for Mobile, not just ports Social media dominates consumption 2010 New better Games Reading more enjoyable – iBooks launched Video improving yet still slow!!!! Spinning Wheel of death – videos were very short 2014 Advanced phone technology Fastest OS Robust networks Content optimized for mobile consumption Video now enjoyable
- #6 Video and streaming TV are coming at a rapid rate! HBO Go will now allow new users without cable subscription – announced today Stand alone streaming!
- #7 Anyone guess what this means? 6inch phones are the new 60 inch TVs People, millennial in particular, are more excited about their new phones than their TVs Entertainment has now gone mobile
- #8 Hungry for Mobile entertainment
- #9 People are watching programing on their tablets and phones more than ever! Take Away: Must invest in mobile Video.
- #10 Mobile content can be consumed anywhere which is great, BUT the real value is what people are doing with the content. Added value People are talking and share content like never BEFORE But it has been siloed. 1:1 experience via SMS or 1 way comments on a thread
- #11 Users don’t just want to watch entertainment on mobile, they want to talk about it. Not just comments, CONVERSATIONS This is great for Brands! People talking/engaging in your content like never before. BUUUUUUT!
- #12 It takes more than great content!
- #13 Lets look at something that recently went viral. ALS Challenge. This was a big leap for Facebook in getting into video. Paired with them test auto-play. So how do you get your content out from the clutter?
- #14 GO Where your Fans are Create this great content, now need to get it out there – Email lists, Social Channels You can drive traffic to your content or take advantage of Native Advertising opportunities. Native Advertising : StumbleUpon Ads, FB, TW and AOL
- #15 But where should your content Live? There are some frustrations with using Social. You are at the hands of Facebook's black box of impressions. (edgerank) Brands and publishers are pulling back from Facebook due to lack of control. Owned space = what you control Brands are shifting dollars to new niche networks (snap, vine, insta, SU) This is big for us at Stumble bc we serve content in full form as opposed to ads on other network.
- #16 At StumbleUpon we were the pioneers in content discovery and native advertising. So we sit on loads of data around why content goes viral For a Marketer I find this fascinating. What does it take? Like building a fire – put all the pieces in place, create your content. Then you rub some sticks, light a match, click some rocks to get your spark But you need a fire that will keep you warm for days not one that will die in the wind. Sometimes you are lucking and starts blazing, sometimes it is harder to get initial traction. Native Advertising – we see a lot of brands with great content come to us at StumbleUpon to get their content to be that roaring fire. Needing that added boost. Similar to FB boosted posts
- #17 So what are some other ways to get your content out there. Some other ways to create compelling content for these new social channels Think outside the box and look at the new world of mobile content.
- #18 Who are these people? The 6 year old dancer, The littlest big diva, The follow back expert. This is the next wave of “celebrity” and they are seriously killing it. Producing high and low brow content, esp video, like never before.
- #19 Anyone know who Nash Grier is? Brands are paying stars like him up to $4000 a SECOND to promote them Why? Because he connects with 13-17 yr old teens better than any of us. Many companies are more sensitive about their brand and cautious to hand it over to a 16yr kid But do internet stars have talent?
- #20 Use these celebs and their following to promote your content. Some brands a a bit more conservative. When I was consulting a big name toy company came to be and wanted a “VINE Strategy” but was too afriad to put it all in the hands of someone like Shaun or Nash. My solution was working with talent. And letting them produce DIY Celebrity.
- #21 Use an expert. Discovered by Lowes #fixinsix Now has her own agency that just produces content for brands Tribeca Film Festival now has a spot for Vine videos #6secfilms ----- Meeting Notes (10/14/14 15:19) ----- You don't have to have high production value to produce great content. Be Creative.
- #22 The nature of vine and Snap Story videos is creating an endless loop of content like an animated GIF You become mesmerized watching the content. ---------------------- Mobile video content is snackable entertainment. Fun, creative videos you can watch wherever you are You don't have to have high production value to produce great content. Be Creative. And if you are not creative find someone that is, the web is crawling with them
- #23 This is an exciting time in Mobile and entertainment 1) Technology advancements have enabled us to reach audiences where ever they go Brands are thinking beyond the standard IAB and creating content that spurs conversations. Content producers - We are competing for people’s time. Mobile is more snackable They work because they are entertaining – convey message as quickly as possible
