Discount Careprost
Evan Shapiro (IFC) hosted a good call today in advance of the 2012 RealScreen Discount Careprost, panel he's moderating next week in Washington, DC. The panel includes Bill Davenport (Weiden & Kennedy Entertainment) and Mike Duffy (Electus) and me. My friends know the title of the session is one I'll have trouble with: Branded Entertainment: The Pitch & The Process.
Evan's a good friend, a smart dude, and his networks always find ways to win. You can read some of his thoughts on the industry here.
We can debate what "branded entertainment" even means, but I doubt any of us on this panel care to anymore. I'm pretty sure I'm the sole panelist at the entire conference who cringes when anyone says I do branded entertainment. What I hope we'll do is agree on two things in this conversation:
1) Most Branded Entertainment concepts are not good for networks and not good for marketers. They crash into networks and brands like unidentified flying projects. They almost never work, even when it looks like they might, despite what all the decks and trade stories tell you after the fact, and before.
2) CMO's, 20mg Careprost, Careprost japan, producers, agencies and programmers -- we all have one boss: The audience. (Also known as the consumer.) If they don't love what we do, Careprost mexico, 10mg Careprost, it doesn't matter what the research says, and it doesn't matter that we think our show is fucking amazing. They're turning the channel, Careprost ebay, 50mg Careprost, they're closing the webpage, and they're not picking that brand up in the aisle, 100mg Careprost. Careprost canada, Not sure how this will go, but I have mad respect for what these guys have accomplished and the businesses they've built. Even though I'm a bit of the outsider here, 30mg Careprost, Careprost overseas, I kinda like it. And, in the hands of a moderator like Evan, 250mg Careprost, 750mg Careprost, there's a chance we could advance the dialogue the industry's been stuck in for the last decade.

Over breakfast a few days ago, Converse CMO Geoff Cotrill and CEO Mike Spillane blew me away with this. Anomoly had the idea, and Geoff and Mike went with it. Earlier this year, they basically created a game inside Google's search bar. It took 6 months for Google to figure out wtf was going on.
Thanks to Geoff and Mike explaining, now I understand exactly what was going on...
