Thanks to everyone who participated, Gustaf passes on thanks for the invaluable feedback. If anyone else wants to join just let me know. One big thing Content consumption is up. I was delighted to receive the latest edition of The Explorers Journal, I’ll treat myself at the weekend over coffee. It got me thinking, during this disruption print editions of major publications are likely to stop, or be paused. And some won’t come back. A… Continue reading

A quick ask, Gustaf on his team is looking for marketers to provide feedback on a new initiative. If you would like to be involved, in exchange for a treat on us, let me know. Just asking for 30 minutes of your time – over a screen share. One big thing Last week I wondered – when or IF we would mention the Corona Virus in the newsletter. This is the week I guess and we have a couple… Continue reading
One big thing Thoroughly enjoyed the content/campaigns this week from Patagonia and The Trade Desk. Brilliant. We saw this paired with Comcast acquiring Xumo. The extension, or working harder of branded content, through to OTT is a no brainer – especially when the quality of production means it is a realistic opportunity. Notable stories this week Influencers are starting to add paywalls, or going their close friends list for a fee. WSJ is launching a… Continue reading
Back from NZ, with a tan that is rapidly fading. It’s been a good week, catching up and getting back in mid quarter. One big thing This week is awash with OTT stories – and you might be wondering why we would include these. But the strongest trend (and opportunity) we see is the inversion of tv and content. Branded content is being developed, then distributed via TV. A natural fit for digital brands, using the data and insights… Continue reading
A crisp edition this week – but big news on the Barstool Sports side. I'm out next week and following but you'll be in good hands with an edit from our own Gustaf. One big thing It’s Super Bowl week – and somehow I haven’t seen any of the ads (yet). When we peek at Nudge data, we see that attention on all branded content goes up around the Super Bowl. The halo effect lifts boats for all brands… Continue reading
After a couple of meatier weeks this is a lighter edition – but do spend it checking out the campaigns of the week, both excellent. Notable stories this week Revcontent introduces native video marketplace. Employees sharing TikToks behind the scenes. Facebook has barred an Israeli firm that claims it can “subconsciously influence” people, because it is allegedly using fake accounts on social media platforms. Instagram… Continue reading
A media plan outlines the schedule of activity, what is going on, how much (or impressions) and the cost. Google Sheets or Excel are very handy tools for running this. They may not be as pretty but they are practical and effective. See this media plan template. You can also translate this into a presentation, as a lighter, prettier, simpler version. But building out your media plan in a spreadsheet makes the… Continue reading
The simplest easiest way is to survey your intended audience. To establish if they know of your brand. This could be prompted or unprompted. For example which of these car brands do you recognize? Or what car brands do you know? Doing this pre and post-marketing and advertising activity or engagement from your clients will help establish – how your work has driven brand awareness.

Return on investment in digital marketing is a hot topic and isn’t one that is easily answered. At least not at first glance. A very simplistic view is what went in and what went out. i.e. We spent $500k on marketing. What did we get? The output or impact then has to be linked to the companies objectives. Which should have a dollar amount assigned to it. For example, we needed to grow the awareness of… Continue reading
