 “We are in an industrial revolution in attention!”

The world´s attention is ever more focused on online content. We are bombarded by images, videos and text at an ever-increasing rate, on multiple platforms and devices, and practically 24 hours a day. It would seem an impossible goal for Brands to break through this level of noise. And yet somehow, the cleverest and most dynamic advertising solutions are being created online, with budgets that range from meager amounts to millions, and that when done effectively, can reach millions and millions of users through disruptive and surprising content that tells their Brand Story. These highly-creative and innovative campaigns communicate Brand Identity, Emotional Engagement and Intellectual Stimulation that reach right into consumers´ hearts and minds, building relationships often without every mentioning or showing a product. Above all, they TELL BRAND STORIES.

Learning Objectives
1. To examine the process of Branded Content Creation
2. To understand the powerful role of Storytelling in Brand Communication
3. To learn to translate Brand Personality and Values into a Powerful Story
4. To learn to communicate Brand Personality and Values through Branded Content
