Own the Media. Or the Media Will Own You
For a long time the business of media was all about buying people’s attention. Not so long ago, “spontaneous media” (whatever it really means) stepped in. But the growing fragmentation of media landscape and more social driven media experiences are making people’s attention harder to get.
Don’t panic. It’s time to add owned media to the equation. Audience is value, and if your can build one or use better one that you already have you will own the greatest asset of all. And, at some point, a consequence of this might be to stop buying media and start selling it. Is your marketing department is ready to start making money instead of spending it?
LiveAD, brazilian award winning creative hotshop (and 2011 SXSW interactive activism finalist!), talks about the importance of owned media along side paid and earned media. And shows some advantages of platform building and some nice results achieved for clients such as Nike, C&A, Lacoste and Oi (one of the biggest mobile carriers in Brazil).
