    MLB Fan Cave PRODUCED BY Major League Baseball FOR BRANDS & AGENCIES CATEGORIES Sports http://shortyw.in/1vBJOE8 ABOUT THIS ENTRY Now entering its 4th season, the MLB Fan Cave is a powerful marketing platform for MLB, growing its social media audience while engaging a fan base 20 years younger than the average baseball fan. 2014 will see the next evolution of the MLB Fan Cave with the launch of a new partnership with MTV. Starting in April, a new weekly series hosted from the Fan Cave will launch on MTV2 moving beyond game analysis, stats and highlights to showcase MLB athletes off the field, spotlighting the stars' personalities and passions through a series of player interviews and features, in addition to celebrity appearances. Despite a wildly successful launch in 2011, MLB has continued to study its audience, learn from what works best and constantly evolve both the concept and creative vision of the Fan Cave. The MLBFanCave.com Concert Series continues to build upon its season by season successes, solidifying itself as an attractive opportunity for artists and labels, who benefit by reaching a huge audience of baseball fans. Through this multi-faceted cross-promotional platform, MLB continuously broadens and diversifies its reach, tapping into the artist’s fan base to grow the sport in non-traditional and creative ways. After receiving sponsorship from MLB partner Anheuser-Busch, the 2013 Concert Series featured top tier artists ranging from Avicii and Afrojack to The Wanted and Tegan & Sara. New to the Fan Cave in 2013, the Art Gallery helped bridge the gap between baseball and pop- culture, while adding to the unique culture of downtown Manhattan.

TREND 1 | PAGE 5 Brands strike a balance between public and private engagement The rise of private behaviors like messaging—while important—has not diminished the importance of public social media feeds, which remain a critical space for brand discovery and customer acquisition. The key is creating a seamless experience across both worlds, while balancing automation and human connection to build deeper customer relationships at scale. TREND 2 | PAGE 9 Employers take center stage in a divided world As our world becomes increasingly divided, employees are looking to their organizations to make things right. Progressive organizations will take advantage of this new role, building strong internal cultures, amplifying their company purpose with employee and customer advocacy, and putting to work the inextricable link between employee and customer experience. TREND 3 | PAGE 14 TikTok shakes up the status quo TikTok continued its meteoric rise in 2019, but only time will tell if the hype will last. Staying power aside, TikTok’s popularity brings valuable insight into the future of social culture, content, and collaboration.

  • The Case of Carly Fleischmann, Her Speech Therapists, and the Media: Factitious Heroism by Proxy, Factitious Heroism, and Folie À Plusieurs
    The Case of Carly Fleischmann, Her Speech Therapists, and the Media: Factitious Heroism By Proxy, Factitious Heroism, and Folie À Plusieurs Dan Howitt Harvard [email protected] [email protected] Abstract From 2008 - 2018, Carly Fleischmann, who has extreme non- verbal autism, was portrayed by her two speech therapists, via a multitude of variations of surreptitious fraud, as being able to type-communicate with keyboards and icon-touch-pads at a normal level, if not advanced level. She was portrayed as such on an array of major television programs, as well as on her YouTube channel, which purportedly shows her conducting in-person interviews with an array of celebrities. Her two speech therapists, in succeeding for approximately ten years with this, engaged in what I refer to as “Factitious Heroism By Proxy”1, as they accomplished persuading innumerable millions of people that Carly is an extremely rare hero of autism. Moreover, the speech therapists, in doing the aforementioned, concurrently engaged in Factitious Heroism, because they accomplished persuading innumerable millions of people that they are the heroes who are in part responsible for Carly's heroism. Unlike my case on Tito and Soma Mukhopadhyay2, while Carly's speech therapists engage in a multitude of variations of surreptitious fraud, 1 Howitt, D. (2021). “The Case of Tito and Soma Mukhopadhyay: Simultaneous Factitious Heroism By Proxy and Factitious Heroism”, https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/p6t4y. 2 Ibid. 1 the fraud was not so masterful that Nobel level scientists, other elite scientists, elite physicians, elite journalists, innumerable millions of other people, etc., would not be able to observe at least some of it.

A variety of success in utilizing this intersection is presented and explained through an analysis of the advertisement, people highlighted, the brand’s financial giving and history, social media response, etc. The five brands examined are Pepsi, Dove, Nike, Airbnb, and Levi’s. To successfully utilize social justice trendjacking, brands must be genuine and specific with their message, be prepared to explain their reasoning for their decisions, have the advertisements checked by many people from diverse backgrounds to check for potential issues that could arise from public viewing.
