BRANDED CONTENT SERIES: ADVERTISING WITHOUT ADVERTISING

In its first two seasons on Facebook alone, video plays were close to 6 million. It has now been seen in over 14 countries. Mohegan Sun (“Back of House”) has also been recognized with multiple Adrian, Telly, and Vega Awards for digital marketing innovation.

LEVERAGING BLACK TWITTER TO CATAPULT CONTENT

In this session, Cheryl Overton of Egami Group shares insights from P&G's award-nominated campaign RedefineBlack: Call for Change" aimed at driving dialogue and meaningful change in the way the word "black" has historically been defined. This campaign motivated online dictionaries to review and update the negative definitions and associations with the word “Black” and prioritize the histories and identities of Black people in their definitions, above outdated references of the term. It also leveraged social media actives and activists to drive conversation and activists to drive conversation and change.

CONTENT IN A POST-LIKE WORLD

In this session, Ben Grossman of FCB NY will discuss how brands should think about their content in a world where “likes” are less and less important. Instagram is eliminating “like” counts. Data is driving transparency into effectiveness. And brands are awakening to the fact it’s behavior – not social engagement rates – they must influence. Hear about how FCB NY has worked with the FDA’s The Real Cost campaign to produce content that has gone beyond “likes” to save lives, preventing over 350,000 from smoking.

THE HUMMUS REVOLUTION

Sabra and Thrillist joined forces to put Sabra at the center of the hummus revolution, making it a must-have element of every foodie's morning menu. Thrillist used the swagger of its brand and local expertise to drive local engagement, and used its national scale to make sure everyone could get a taste of hummus’ myriad new use cases (like delicious hummus breakfast toast).

The omnichannel approach included influencer partnerships, a custom video, branded articles, digital and social campaigns, and even brought the hummus revolution to life by creating Hummus Week in Washington, D.C.

Hear from Sabra how this multifaceted campaign successfully increased brand awareness, brand favorability, and purchase intent, and brought to life hummus-inspired recipes that foodies could obsess over.
