Therelationship Exponent ISSUE #3: The Relationship Exponent Relationships dominate our lives. At their best, they provide exponential value that is impossible to create individually. And in a world that’s driven more and more by social behavior, even brands are playing the relationship game. This issue examines what makes great partnerships work and what makes them break. LETTER FROM THE EDITOR May 12, 2016 Since I founded the agency fifteen years ago, I most often measure and evaluate the wider digital landscape by determining why our phone is ringing – what is prompting people’s calls? And for the past couple years, time and again, the caller at the end of the line is asking about the same thing – brand integration – one of those marketing buzzwords for what is ultimately a relationship between two brands. Transparently, that’s where this issue of Situation started. Let’s talk about partnerships, sponsorships, great brand collaborations. But as we scratched the DAMIAN BAZADONA is the President surface of what this meant, we discovered that this was a small piece in a much larger puzzle. and Founder of Situation, a digital agency that believes doing is greater than I’ll state the obvious and say that relationships are the byproduct of living in a hyper-connected having.

We’ve gotten lazy in how we treat some of these relationships, which is especially dangerous when there’s so much more that can go wrong. I’d be lying if I said it’s easy. Navigating this terrain is complicated. Yes, it’s about data, knowledge and understanding these agreements you’re entering. But it’s also about experience, wisdom, gut, and feeling – those subjective intangibles that, in my opinion, cannot be ignored when evaluating relationships. But the good news is that you’re on the right track – just by joining this conversation. We hope you walk away from this issue with a deeper understanding of the variety of dynamics that affect our relationships and how to fine-tune your instincts on investing in the relationships that win.

Everyday people find fame on REAL TALK ABOUT Vine, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, and their fans and followers trust their Real Talk opinions and recommendations. Slowly, celebrity endorsements have taken a backseat to the creation of integrated content from these influential internet stars. Brands seized the opportunity to access these active and niche fan bases INFLUENCERS AND in unique (and lucrative!) ways – and the influencer campaign was born. Although the philosophies of how to utilize, engage, and evaluate influencer MARKETERS campaigns vary, the most important steps are universal: BY MARK SEELEY • Define the relationship: Influencers aren’t a one-off band-aid solution. It’s never successful to just “bring in the influencers!” Influencer Engagement Supervisor, Situation integrations work best when built into the campaign from the start. • Build the relationship: Build and invest in your relationship with the influencers before, during, and after the campaign. Don’t fall into the trap of undervaluing influencers – treat them as you’d treat any other valuable organizational partner.

Introduction The Nostradamus Project is an attempt to predict the close future of film and television – 3-5 years from now. Through the generous participation of industry leaders, who are at work daily creating that new reality, we produce seminars, online analysis, and this annual briefing on selected trends in the marketplace. In this, our third year, we have looked in particular at distribution, exhibition, virtual reality and the emergence of the new global majors. It has been interesting to see trends and tendencies transform into directions. The following pages sketch out a future where streaming has found its place, new majors have emerged, and the reality of changing business models is finally hitting home in advertising-financed media. Virtual Reality becomes a vibrant site for creative experimentation, and so do independent cinemas, whose inspiring work today is a testing ground for mainstream practice tomorrow.

Important to Note: This list utilizes the TV Guide listing service to denote original telecasts (and exclude repeats and specials), and also line-items original series by the internal coding/titling provided to Nielsen by each network. Thus, if a network creates different "line items" to denote different seasons or different day/time periods of the same series within the calendar year, both entries are listed separately.

Before we move on to that I just want to invite Monica Soeting and Isabel Duran to say a little bit about the European Journal, so over to Monica. MS: Right, thank you very much, Max. Actually just three things we want to talk about really briefly. Firstly, at the European Journal we’re firefighting, we’d really like to invite you to send us articles based on your papers of this conference, so would you please think about that and contact me if you want to. Thank you very much for that. Now, Isabel’s going to very shortly say something about her next conference. ID: Good morning everyone, I said it on the first day but some of you were not here yet, so just we should announce that IABE 2019 will be hosted by the Complutense University of Madrid, the Department of English Studies where I teach and where I belong. And, well, you know, Madrid is a very nice place to visit, the university has a tube station right in the middle of the campus so it’s approachable and reachable. The hotels are reasonably inexpensive, so it’s, I think, a good place to have a conference.

The New Path Companies are starting to stray from solely endorsing traditional celebrities and moving into the tight knit communities of YouTube.

  • Trabalho Objetiva Analisar O Papel Dos Youtubers, Produtores De Conteúdo Audiovisual Online No Youtube, Que Possuem Milhões De Fãs
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XXXVIII Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Rio de Janeiro, RJ – 4 a 7/9/2015 O que Aprender com um Youtuber com Canal com Muitos Inscritos e Visualizações: Reflexões sobre Mídia Propagável, Comunidades de Fãs e Reputação1 Krishma CARREIRA2 Resumo Este trabalho objetiva analisar o papel dos youtubers, produtores de conteúdo audiovisual online no YouTube, que possuem milhões de fãs. Eles não produziam conteúdo até pouco tempo, quando saíram do anonimato e ganharam o direito de expressão desde que a expansão da internet e de outros avanços tecnológicos tiraram o monopólio das mídias tradicionais. Nativos digitais, eles sabem explorar bem o mundo online conectado e convergente. O sucesso de alguns youtubers vem do fato deles fazerem conteúdo fortemente propagável com a ajuda de uma comunidade engajada e participativa que alimenta um poderoso sistema de reputação. Neste trabalho, acompanhamos os canais de um grupo de youtubers brasileiros e estrangeiros. Analisamos também a presença deles em outras redes sociais e em sites de notícias. Palavras-chave: YouTube; youtubers; conteúdo audiovisual; fãs; engajamento. Introdução O mundo contemporâneo consome cada vez mais conteúdo audiovisual. O que era um sonho para os modelos tradicionais de mídia, como emissoras de televisão, está se tornando uma ameaça aos modelos de negócios desses conglomerados. Dentro desse novo contexto, foi criado o YouTube, em 14 de fevereiro de 2005, uma plataforma que transformou o conteúdo audiovisual online em um fenômeno de massas. Ele é “o marco zero, por assim dizer, da ruptura nas operações das mídias de massa comerciais, causada pelo surgimento de novas formas de cultura participativa”.
