Post-Event Directory 10 | 14 | 2011 Agency for the Performing Arts Beverly Hills, CA

Locke_Lord_att_guide_FIN_PRINT.indd 1 2/21/12 5:50 PM Locke_Lord_att_guide_FIN_PRINT.indd 2 2/21/12 5:50 PM Greetings from Christopher Bakes of Locke Lord LLP and Jim Gosnell of APA. October’s Cracking the Code was a great success. We now present this Event Directory as our New Year 2012 greeting. We want our guests to stay in touch. Cracking the Code had several goals. Bring hand-picked guests together. Invite them to meet and network. Present original content to enrich and inform. “Networking + content.” This is because law firms and agencies are in a position to see the possibilities that could unfold between their clients and — if only they knew each other. In 2010, we did something about it. We debuted the “networking + content” model in Seattle. It was a hit. For 2011, we expanded the content piece and hosted a panel of visionary thought leaders, this time in Beverly Hills. Cracking the Code was the result. Judging from your feedback, we had another hit on our hands. We again salute our visionaries. They “Cracked the Code.” They identified, then reached target audiences and markets by persistence and creativity, bucking the odds in new ways: • Diane Charles of lstudio.com, co-producer of the vehicle “.” • Erin MacPherson of Yahoo!, helping lead Yahoo! into a new era of programming. • Use All Five’s Levi Brooks, a web visionary plus college professor. • Julia Huang, CEO of the nation’s leading ad agency specializing in the Asian-American market. • The Hollywood Reporter’s Alex Ben-Block, famed industry journalist. Cracking the Code also presented Flash Rosenberg to the west coast. Flash was our event “artist-in-residence,” who shared her artistic impressions of the panelists and the event through her conversation portraits. Her event art appears in this Directory (as well as on lstudio.com). Our wonderful evening with each of you was conceived to be an ice-breaker. Now that the ice has been broken, please . . . have some more great dialogue. Stay in touch - with us and with each other. Enjoy the Directory.

Art

Flash Rosenberg was Cracking the Code’s “Artist in Residence.” She’s usually the “Artist in Residence” at the New York Public Library. Head over to lstudio.com for a sampling of work by Flash. They’re called “conversation portraits.” As lstudio puts it, “Flash uses humor and innovative wit to animate her live drawings of the ideas discussed by prominent authors, artists and provocateurs during ‘LIVE from the NYPL,’” a special program of the New York Public Library. Flash’s extraordinary gift is the capture of imagery – by use of her hand-drawings and elegantly vivid splashes of color. For Cracking the Code, Flash created the art we projected as we introduced each of our panelists. Flash then “drew” each panelist’s presentation. We once again use Flash’s art to introduce each panelist. We also use it throughout this directory. Brilliant work.

Diane Charles Intelligent Life Productions (ILP) Diane is an Executive Producer of the Lisa Kudrow hit “Web Therapy,” the first broadband series to make the jump from online to premium cable. Intelligent Life Productions is a boutique studio dedicated to developing unique experiences for evolving media platforms. The magazine Fast Company recently featured a profile of the partners in an article entitled “The New Content Kings” in its November 2011 issue. For the past four years, Diane Charles and Ron Qurashi, her business partner, have worked with automaker Lexus and Team One as the exclusive content providers of more than 200 pieces of original entertainment for www.LStudio. com, including one series that The Hollywood Reporter called “One of the 10 Best Web Series to Watch.” Indeed, SHOWTIME recently announced that “Web Therapy” has been picked up for a second season. Other series include Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman’s first foray into online with 3 Minute Talk Show, as well as a series on creativity with musician will.i.am. One of ILP’s newest series takes place in . . . . an Airstream trailer. Yes, those Airstreams. Big and silver and roomy. (Well, kind of roomy.) The show is Red Band Trailer, and it’s hosted by Diablo Cody. Diablo wrote Juno and Young Adult. It’s an offbeat interview show with an A-list guest list. All in that Airstream trailer. In addition to working with Lexus as their exclusive content providers, ILP is expanding, with a focus on online concepts with TV/feature upsell potential. ILP is also currently prepping three reality television series to shop, as well as a scripted sci-fi series. Diane shares that it is “conscious collaboration and creative freedom that has allowed Intelligent Life Productions to work with so many talented actors, writers, brands and organizations.” For us, “developing and nurturing relationships is as important and enjoyable as developing successful projects.” For Diane, “...’Cracking the Code’ means Embracing the Vision; Collaborating with Trust; Getting the Right People Involved; Asking for What you Want; Challenging Yourself to Expand – each of these have to do with ways that express our Connectivity. In fact, connectivity just might be one of the biggest cracking the code truths…” “So, if inclined…reach out and connect!” Diane Charles, Intelligent Life Productions

Alex Ben-Block Industry Journalist, The Hollywood Reporter Journalist, author, talk show host, broadcast pundit and show business historian Alex Ben Block is Senior Editor of The Hollywood Reporter, where he regularly contributes to the weekly print magazine, the 24/7 online site and the daily digital edition read by movers and shakers throughout the global entertainment industry. His book George Lucas’s Blockbusting, a history of blockbuster movies and almanac of a hundred years of film, was a critically acclaimed best-seller. Alex is also a popular public speaker, corporate consultant and master of ceremonies. According to Alex, “WHY THE CODE NEEDS TO BE CRACKED!” “Cracking The Code provided useful and practical information on how to build a brand and market a product in today’s complex and increasingly crowded marketplace. It brought home how thinking has shifted on even something seemingly as simple as saying what makes a brand. In an earlier era a brand was often an umbrella term for a whole line of things like Ford cars or all the varieties of Crest toothpaste. Today, like the marketplace itself, the concept of the brand has fragmented and multiplied geometrically. Now everything, everyone, every idea, every web site, every sub category of a product can be a brand onto itself. There are more ways to build a brand and a lot more choices about how to get that message out to the right audience. “It used to be enough to advertise a product or service to build an image. Today’s consumers are so sophisticated and so assaulted at every turn by commercial messages that advertising is only one element of a successful campaign. Now there has to be public relations, promotion, product placement and more, all seeking to build the elusive word of mouth that turns consumers into buyers and advocates. The hip term for the magic that is need is to build “buzz,” meaning that you know it is working when people are blogging about it, watching it on YouTube, hearing it discussed on talk shows, blending your brand into the story on a scripted show or communicating in other ways that |reach consumers – especially when it is part of an editorial product or show and reaches them when their internal filter that tunes out paid advertising is turned off.

“That only happens when there is synergy between the message, the value of the product and the need of the consumer in the context of the culture at the right moment. That is why cracking the code is so vital: There is no simple way to assure success in selling a product, service or personality today. “Cracking The Code is all about the new rules of the commercial and media world: You have to spend but it isn’t just about spending. You have to strategize but it isn’t completely in your power to set the terms for success. You have to have a great product or service or strong personality to sell, but that alone isn’t enough. “You need knowledge and expertise to succeed. That includes the right associates, the appropriate agencies, the right creative team, strong legal and business experts and lots of information – from TV, radio, books, the consumer media, from the trade press, from the Internet, from your own polling and as always by listening to your own gut. You must learn to hone your instincts to identify what is working or have advisors you can lean on who have a strong track record of knowing how to keep taking the right turns along the road. “I always say that in Hollywood nobody does it alone. A person may be a star but without their agent, manager, publicist, business manager, lawyer, designer and circle of support, their star is not going to shine very brightly or for very long. That is as true for a movie star as for a box of soap or an author. All are brands that need to be polished and nurtured to shine. All need to be constantly improved, re-invented and re-evaluated, to keep up with the rapidly changing times we live in. “Ultimately to make your brand stand out and be sought after you need to operate on all these levels, with all that support, with determination and good health, and more, and always with exquisite timing, the right associations, appropriate endorsements and then at least a little luck. “If it was easy there won’t be anything to crack.”

‘Cracking the Code’ Forum Tackles Online Video Business Models 10/17/2011 by Bryan W. Logan Reprinted with permission from The Hollywood Reporter

Second row, from left: Sarah Amico of APA, Diane Charles of Intelligent Life Productions, Julia Huang of InterTRENDS, Erin McPherson of Yahoo and Flash Rosenberg, artist in residence at New York Public Library.

How to engage the consumer in an increasingly crowded marketplace was a key question on the minds of half a dozen industry experts who came together for a forum appropriately titled Cracking the Code, presented by the APA talent agency and the entertainment law firm Locke Lord Llc. on Friday night in Beverly Hills. That was clearly on Erin McPherson’s mind as Yahoo’s vp and head of originals and video programming described how her company is reinventing the web giant. “For me, cracking the code is embracing who you are,” said the straight-shooting McPherson, “and Yahoo has not done that successfully for the last few years.”

“We struggle with whether we are a technology company or a media company,” the self-described “recovering entertainment lawyer” added. “Why can’t we be both?“ She said while Yahoo already has huge web traffic and is doing more than 30 original series a week, that is only the start. The company has plans in 2012 to launch new longform and shortform series with “A-list talent” in programming that will be live-action and animated. That ranges from a stand-up comedy show, with Bill Maher set for the first episode, to an upcoming science-fiction series she described as “violent. Bloody. People are going to be writing the hate letters on the website. It’s out there for us.” All of this will be done, she added, working closely with brands and advertising. That was message in all the presentations, which were designed to Top row, from left:: Christopher Bakes of Locke Lord Llc., Jim Gosnell of APA, discuss the changing ways to tie together content and brands.

Creating unique experiences while working with companies trying to crack the code on the new media consumer was at the heart of remarks by Diane Charles, who is partnered with Ron Qurashi in Intelligent Life Productions. That company produced the shortform series Web Therapy, starring Lisa Kudrow, which has crossed over from online to pay TV. She says the goal of the 5-year-old company is to help LStudio.com become “the HBO of the Internet.” She recalled when the company developed its first products for the Lexus auto brand, the client and agency were totally on board with the lack of product integration, but others in the industry weren’t sure it would work. “Everyone asked us, ‘What? No banners, no advertising? No B-roll showing the car?’

Locke Lord • APA Talent and Literary Agency Locke Lord • APA Talent and Literary Agency

Locke_Lord_att_guide_FIN_PRINT.indd 27 2/21/12 5:50 PM 28

“The idea,” added Charles, “was to create entertainment that would start people having a relationship, an affiliation with the brand. We believed you don’t have to shout to be heard. Just make it right in the right way and the right people will find it.” “When Web Therapy began, our agreement with Lisa was that her involvement was not to make an endorsement, it was to make entertainment. But by the second season when we were renewing the option and it looked as if television could be in the future, we asked if a Lexus could make a minimal appearance in the series. She thought that could work as long as her team could come up with an organic fun way to work it into the story.” So in the second through fourth seasons, the car makes appearances. When it went to Showtime, Charles said Lexus executives were thrilled that their brand is now being shown on pay TV without any additional payment. The fourth season of Web Therapy launches in December on LStudio.com. “For me, cracking the code is embracing who you are, and Yahoo has not done that successfully for the last few years,” the company’s Erin McPherson admits. Charles said that the company works on projects they are passionate about, which helps attract top brands and top creative talent. “It has to be more than anyone thinks it will be,” added Charles. “You have to come up with innovative solutions and surprise (creative) people with how hard you will fight for them, for their integrity, to keep it classy and above all you must be true to yourself.” Julia Huang, CEO of InterTRENDS, an ad agency that specializes in helping brands reach Asian-Americans, said she had an experience with Toyota, where executives saw that different kinds of creativity were needed to penetrate the new media environment. She said for one campaign, they tapped into a kind of mythical Japanese character that was already popular in some communities and re-created it to promote Toyotas in the cyber world. One of their first videos, which was a total soft sell, scored more than 1.4 million views on YouTube in its first four days.

“Cracking the code is not for the faint-hearted,” said Huang. “We cracked it for Toyota but it was really surprising (some of the reactions) because for every 10 people who would comment on You Tube or Facebook and say, ‘That’s cool,’ there was one who said ‘whoever did this should die. “Toyota years ago would have freaked out if they saw something like that,” she added. “But done in the right place at the right time, we were able to crack the code.” Richard Levi Brooks, CEO of Use All Five Inc., which assists brands, studios and production companies to reach targeted audiences, talked about how his staff worked for Google when it was launching the Chrome web browser. “They came to us and said ‘I want to really polish Google chrome,’” said Brooks. “‘It’s an amazing product, really fast, flexible, easy to use, so we want to show this off. We don’t want to spend money on banner advertising or the usual commercials. We want to showcase it.’ So we looked as said, what can we do with Google creatively that really pushes this into new areas.” They developed a series of products and add-ons that played to people’s love of surfing the web to gather information. They identified places for that information to land and be kept and grown, and made it easy to translate a word, sentence or whole article into another language — showing another Google feature. He said his team found ways to make it even more fun to use. “We said, ‘It’s got to shine a light on Google’s Chrome,’” he added. “‘It’s got to shine a light on the creative ways you use it and really open doors.’” The question Brooks said he always asks is, “How do I provide value to my audience on top of what I am already doing? What can I take from what I’ve already created and create new value.” The Hollywood Reporter senior editor Alex Ben Block was the closing speaker. “A brand today is not just some consumer product but also refers to companies, services, movies, TV shows, web programs as well as every celebrity and every person seeking attention,” said Block. “In a cluttered market place, they all have to get their message out. There are a lot of ways to do that now, a lot more choices.”

The goal is ultimately is to build buzz, the elusive word-of-mouth that means so much, he added. “You can’t guarantee it,” said Block, “but you can give your content and message exposure, use the new tools and platforms to make it available as widely as possible. Then when the right content, at the right moment, with all of that synergy comes together, the job of building that brand is accomplished.” The question Brooks said he always asks is, “How do I provide value to my audience on top of what I am already doing? What can I take from what I’ve already created and create new value.”

Christopher Bakes of Locke Lord acted as moderator for the program. The Hollywood Reporter was media sponsor of the event. Flash Rosenberg, animator and artist in residence for LIVE at the New York Public Library, created graphics in advance and on site that were tailored to the gathering.
