To understand who I am you need to understand where I work and what I work on. We typically get two types of fees from clients. One fee is to pay for the concepting and production of
creative ideas that are reactive to business challenges. The other fee is to lead an inter-agency team that might include Public Relations, Experiential, Activation, Digital, Social, Hispanic,
African American, Media, etc. To do transmedia planning you need the ability to impact multiple aspects of the campaign.

We are excited and humbled that we have been recognized by our peers. For transmedia planning to thrive you also need to work inside an agency that values interactive and integrated
marketing. Filming beautiful television spots isn’t enough.

In 2009 Connection Planning had been around for more than 10 years. I was working for a mid-size agency in Tampa Bay and wanted to be on the cutting edge of the next theory in planning.
I started digging for things and found one post on the Tokyo Naked Blog about Propagation Planning by Ivan Pollard. It was the only thing I could find on the idea and so I dedicated my time
and energy to cultivate the theory and make it a true discipline.
WHAT IS TRANSMEDIA?




The definition of Transmedia is one of the biggest debates around Transmedia. Until that becomes agreed upon we are all stumbling through this theory together. So I turned to the founder of
Transmedia: Henry Jenkins
HENRY JENKINS: THE GOD FATHER




                                              http://youtu.be/bhGBfuyN5gg

I’m going to let Henry do the talking here.
HOW DO I SELL THIS IDEA TO MY CLIENT?
                                   (spoiler alert... it’s hard)




I’m going to role play a scene between me and a fictional client. I will play the role of the Strategist and my co-star, the Client will be the Screen behind me.



Transmedia planning is a communication model, derived from the ideas found in the book “Convergence Culture” that former MIT professor, now current Provost at USC, Henry Jenkins

coined.
(voice of a fictional client)




                                            THAT GUY SOUNDS SMART,

                                                                       I’M LISTENING.




In this model, there will be an evolving non-linear brand narrative.
(voice of a fictional client)




                                                  I SAW THE SHOW ‘LOST’

                                               IT WAS HARD TO FOLLOW




Different channels will be used to communicate different, self-contained elements of the brand narrative that build to create a larger brand world.
(voice of a fictional client)




                  WORLD BUILDING SOUNDS EXPENSIVE...




Consumers then pull different parts of the story together themselves.
(voice of a fictional client)




                         COPY TESTING SHOWS CONSUMERS
                           HATE COMPLEX STORY LINES...




Since there would be more elements to the narrative than any single person could consume, people come together to share elements of the narrative – driving word of mouth and creating

communities.
(voice of a fictional client)




                             GIVE CONTROL TO CONSUMERS...

                                          I’M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS




END SCENE. You can see how easy it is to say no to Transmedia, but the clients that are saying yes are coming from the Entertainment sectors and what we have seen over the years is

that movie marketing has a way of changing how everyone does marketing over time.

BUILDING BRAND WORLDS TOGETHER




The fan base has a role to help make the world big. You as the client don’t have to do everything but you need to embrace consumer interpretation of the idea. I think consumers can handle

more than a single core idea. In fact, I think we are in an age where increasingly consumers control the media they consume, and we can no longer simply interrupt, entertain for 30 seconds

and then sell them something, we have to offer them more than a core idea well told.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE REST OF US?
A ‘MATCHING LUGGAGE’ CAMPAIGN

What most clients do is reproduce the same idea in different ways to match the specs of different channels. This makes it easy to test, it makes it easy to manage the brand and the comms

because you know when it’s on campaign and off campaign.

Agencies typically start with a strong TV spot and then extend that narrative idea into other media spaces. This is a great example of this model.

Building complexity into a range of communications, using channels to cultivate different ideas that build into a larger brand world, rather than reproducing the same idea in different ways. For

me its about building a world of references and images, held together by a value system and a narrative, communicating it in ways that respects that content and the fluidity of channels.
AXE ANARCHY: TEASER AD




Teaser Ad was seeded with Bloggers. We have a more simple narrative to set up what is to come.
AXE ANARCHY: HERO SPOT




This ad was released in Cinema and television. We have a new epic narrative here that shows the sheer extent of this proposition.
AXE ANARCHY: ACTIVATION




Razorfish introduced new characters allowing real people to be written into the ongoing narrative. This was a better and richer storyline for digital and mobile.
AXE ANARCHY: ACTIVATION




The Facebook App and YouTube Brand Page became portals into the story. As you engaged with the story you had a chance to be written into the final one.
HOW THIS GETS CLOSER TO TRANSMEDIA




       1. Teaser Campaign around Cops and Robbers

   2. Girls and Guys with the power of AXE create Anarchy

3. Comic book narrative where consumers co-create the world


 However, it’s not so complex that they needed a community.
 This is an entry into transmedia but it didn’t fully embrace it.
EMBRACE COMPLEXITY




There is a book by Steven Johnson that explains How Today’s Popular Culture is actually making us Smarter. This was published in 2005, it is based upon Johnson’s theory that popular

culture - in particular television shows and video games - have grown more complex and demanding over time and is improving the society within terms of intelligence and idea. He argues

that the structure of video games uniquely invite exploration and stimulates the reward centers of the brain. He asserts that television is a “brilliant medium” for determining how skilled people

are at understanding interpersonal connections, and that reality shows realistically display the complexity of “social network maps” in human relations, where a group of people have complex

and intertwined engagement.

HOW TRANSMEDIA STORIES SPREAD?
KNOW HOW TO START A MOVEMENT




                                        The basis for Propagation Planning
The best way to kick this off is with a TED talk about “how to start a movement.” They quickly frame up many key principles of Propagation Planning.
So how do you do Propagation Planning, you start a movement. You act like a lone nut (why do you think viral videos go viral?) or you find a lone nut (Bloggers, Gamers, Fanboys) and work
with them to tell your story.
MARKETING MODELS OF PROPAGATION

Before I explain the Propagation models you need to know how media is typically viewed. Media agencies cast a wide net with lots of waste and trickle down to those that will consider and
purchase your product. This is typically called the Awareness Funnel. What we want to do is introduce a new shape into your media planning, this is the Propagation Megaphone. This starts
small and grows big over time.

                                                              (Most creative targets the mass majority)


                             Early Adopters >                                                                                          < Laggards

In this model the Innovators and Early Adopters don’t have a chance to break the news. They see communications the same time the majority can see them, which makes it less cool to talk
about because it’s not special or exclusive. Plus this creative has been copy tested against the majority. It has been watered down to be liked and revered by the greatest amount of people
possible. If you were a Blogger or a Journalist you would want to break the story, you wouldn’t want to just add your POV to it.

         STIMULUS




So... what if we targeted influencers? This creative wouldn’t look like the creative we put into Broadcast Media, that’s too safe. This creative needs to be raw, perhaps unfinished so the
influencers have a chance to affect and shape the creative. Perhaps they have a chance to become part of the story themselves? Perhaps they have a chance to invite their followers to become a
part of the story? This happens a lot in good Movie campaigns.

Now that we layer Transmedia onto the Propagation Model you see multiple strands of activity that all have a chance to go big. The brand made a call to start the movement but now the
community has added their own interpretation to the narrative.
WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN FOR US?
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR PLANNERS




 Understand the relationship between creative and media
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR STORYTELLING?




Think about the myth that is the brand you are charged with building. Find the brand’s point of view, create the brand’s world. Don’t treat consumers like idiots. John talks about expected

endings. If we can predict the ending from the first chapter of the book it isn’t going to be an interesting read.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF




             Can we create a Brand World?

What are the mythology, challenges, rewards in this world?

          Who are the heroes and the villains?

Planning for Transmedia

  • 1. PLANNING FOR TRANSMEDIA Griffin Farley Hamburg, Germany APRIL 2012
  • 2. WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY FROM TODAY An understanding of who I am and where I work How I define Transmedia Planning 2 Case Studies from the Entertainment Sector An AXE Cross Media Case Study An AXE Trans Media Case Study A deeper understanding of choreographing the narrative of a campaign
  • 3. WHO I AM AND WHERE I WORK So you can decide if I am complete bullshit or not.
  • 4. GRIFFIN FARLEY Title: Strategy Director, Engagement Planning Lead Work: Bartle Bogle Hegarty in New York City Twitter: @griffinfarley Blog: propagationplanning.com
  • 5. BBH NORTH AMERICA CLIENTS 5 To understand who I am you need to understand where I work and what I work on. We typically get two types of fees from clients. One fee is to pay for the concepting and production of creative ideas that are reactive to business challenges. The other fee is to lead an inter-agency team that might include Public Relations, Experiential, Activation, Digital, Social, Hispanic, African American, Media, etc. To do transmedia planning you need the ability to impact multiple aspects of the campaign.
  • 6. SOME RECENT ACCOLADES 2012 Agency of the Year. 2012 Webby’s Agency of the Year. Time Magazine: Top TV ad for 2011. 2011 A-List. 2011 Most Awarded Digital Agency of the Year. 2011 #1 Interactive Agency in the U.S. 6 We are excited and humbled that we have been recognized by our peers. For transmedia planning to thrive you also need to work inside an agency that values interactive and integrated marketing. Filming beautiful television spots isn’t enough.
  • 7. WHAT IS TRANSMEDIA PLANNING?
  • 8. WHY TRANSMEDIA? Account Planning inspire creative thinking (JWT, BMP) Connection Planning inspire media thinking Pre-1964 (Fallon, Chiat/Day) 1965 Field Services 1999 Propagation Planning 2006 inspire WOM thinking (Naked) Transmedia Planning inspire storytelling 2008 (MIT) In 2009 Connection Planning had been around for more than 10 years. I was working for a mid-size agency in Tampa Bay and wanted to be on the cutting edge of the next theory in planning. I started digging for things and found one post on the Tokyo Naked Blog about Propagation Planning by Ivan Pollard. It was the only thing I could find on the idea and so I dedicated my time and energy to cultivate the theory and make it a true discipline.
  • 9. WHAT IS TRANSMEDIA? The definition of Transmedia is one of the biggest debates around Transmedia. Until that becomes agreed upon we are all stumbling through this theory together. So I turned to the founder of Transmedia: Henry Jenkins
  • 10. HENRY JENKINS: THE GOD FATHER http://youtu.be/bhGBfuyN5gg I’m going to let Henry do the talking here.
  • 11. HOW DO I SELL THIS IDEA TO MY CLIENT? (spoiler alert... it’s hard) I’m going to role play a scene between me and a fictional client. I will play the role of the Strategist and my co-star, the Client will be the Screen behind me. Transmedia planning is a communication model, derived from the ideas found in the book “Convergence Culture” that former MIT professor, now current Provost at USC, Henry Jenkins coined.
  • 12. (voice of a fictional client) THAT GUY SOUNDS SMART, I’M LISTENING. In this model, there will be an evolving non-linear brand narrative.
  • 13. (voice of a fictional client) I SAW THE SHOW ‘LOST’ IT WAS HARD TO FOLLOW Different channels will be used to communicate different, self-contained elements of the brand narrative that build to create a larger brand world.
  • 14. (voice of a fictional client) WORLD BUILDING SOUNDS EXPENSIVE... Consumers then pull different parts of the story together themselves.
  • 15. (voice of a fictional client) COPY TESTING SHOWS CONSUMERS HATE COMPLEX STORY LINES... Since there would be more elements to the narrative than any single person could consume, people come together to share elements of the narrative – driving word of mouth and creating communities.
  • 16. (voice of a fictional client) GIVE CONTROL TO CONSUMERS... I’M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS END SCENE. You can see how easy it is to say no to Transmedia, but the clients that are saying yes are coming from the Entertainment sectors and what we have seen over the years is that movie marketing has a way of changing how everyone does marketing over time.
  • 18. DARK KNIGHT ARG http://youtu.be/483Tb0NJ1T4 43 Entertainment
  • 19. HBO TRUE BLOOD http://vimeo.com/8268162 Campfire NY
  • 20. BUILDING BRAND WORLDS TOGETHER The fan base has a role to help make the world big. You as the client don’t have to do everything but you need to embrace consumer interpretation of the idea. I think consumers can handle more than a single core idea. In fact, I think we are in an age where increasingly consumers control the media they consume, and we can no longer simply interrupt, entertain for 30 seconds and then sell them something, we have to offer them more than a core idea well told.
  • 21. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE REST OF US?
  • 22. A ‘MATCHING LUGGAGE’ CAMPAIGN PAID PAID PAID PAID Cross Media PAID OWNED PAID OWNED What most clients do is reproduce the same idea in different ways to match the specs of different channels. This makes it easy to test, it makes it easy to manage the brand and the comms because you know when it’s on campaign and off campaign.
  • 23. AXE ANGELS CASE STUDY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRnBHHcdHJQ Agencies typically start with a strong TV spot and then extend that narrative idea into other media spaces. This is a great example of this model.
  • 24. AXE ANGELS CASE STUDY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFuUFeQIdpk Take the same narrative and plug it into every media space available. This is cross-media, not transmedia.
  • 25. AXE ANGELS CASE STUDY http://youtu.be/3C7-v_R-r94 Take the same narrative and plug it into every media space available. This is cross-media, not transmedia.
  • 26. AXE ANGELS CASE STUDY http://youtu.be/uc5yTo4viwQ Take the same narrative and plug it into every media space available. This is cross-media, not transmedia.
  • 27. MEDIA NEUTRAL PLANNING Take the same narrative and plug it into every media space available. This is cross-media, not transmedia.
  • 28. ‘MATCHING LUGGAGE’ CAMPAIGN REMINDER PAID PAID PAID PAID Cross Media PAID OWNED PAID OWNED
  • 29. HOW IS TRANSMEDIA DIFFERENT PAID UGC UGC PAID TransMedia OWNED UGC OWNED PAID Building complexity into a range of communications, using channels to cultivate different ideas that build into a larger brand world, rather than reproducing the same idea in different ways. For me its about building a world of references and images, held together by a value system and a narrative, communicating it in ways that respects that content and the fluidity of channels.
  • 30. AXE ANARCHY: TEASER AD Teaser Ad was seeded with Bloggers. We have a more simple narrative to set up what is to come.
  • 31. AXE ANARCHY: HERO SPOT This ad was released in Cinema and television. We have a new epic narrative here that shows the sheer extent of this proposition.
  • 32. AXE ANARCHY: ACTIVATION Razorfish introduced new characters allowing real people to be written into the ongoing narrative. This was a better and richer storyline for digital and mobile.
  • 33. AXE ANARCHY: ACTIVATION The Facebook App and YouTube Brand Page became portals into the story. As you engaged with the story you had a chance to be written into the final one.
  • 34. HOW THIS GETS CLOSER TO TRANSMEDIA 1. Teaser Campaign around Cops and Robbers 2. Girls and Guys with the power of AXE create Anarchy 3. Comic book narrative where consumers co-create the world However, it’s not so complex that they needed a community. This is an entry into transmedia but it didn’t fully embrace it.
  • 35. EMBRACE COMPLEXITY There is a book by Steven Johnson that explains How Today’s Popular Culture is actually making us Smarter. This was published in 2005, it is based upon Johnson’s theory that popular culture - in particular television shows and video games - have grown more complex and demanding over time and is improving the society within terms of intelligence and idea. He argues that the structure of video games uniquely invite exploration and stimulates the reward centers of the brain. He asserts that television is a “brilliant medium” for determining how skilled people are at understanding interpersonal connections, and that reality shows realistically display the complexity of “social network maps” in human relations, where a group of people have complex and intertwined engagement.
  • 36. HOW TO START? To take advantage of To sell a campaign, To sell an ad, everything todays media you need a you need a story landscape has to offer character you need a world
  • 38. KNOW HOW TO START A MOVEMENT The basis for Propagation Planning The best way to kick this off is with a TED talk about “how to start a movement.” They quickly frame up many key principles of Propagation Planning. So how do you do Propagation Planning, you start a movement. You act like a lone nut (why do you think viral videos go viral?) or you find a lone nut (Bloggers, Gamers, Fanboys) and work with them to tell your story.
  • 39. MARKETING MODELS OF PROPAGATION Awareness Funnel Propagation Megaphone (Paid Media) (Earned Media) Before I explain the Propagation models you need to know how media is typically viewed. Media agencies cast a wide net with lots of waste and trickle down to those that will consider and purchase your product. This is typically called the Awareness Funnel. What we want to do is introduce a new shape into your media planning, this is the Propagation Megaphone. This starts small and grows big over time.
  • 40. ADOPTION CURVE WITHOUT PROPAGATION BROADCAST MEDIA Early Majority > < Late Majority (Most creative targets the mass majority) Early Adopters > < Laggards Innovators > TIME AND SALES In this model the Innovators and Early Adopters don’t have a chance to break the news. They see communications the same time the majority can see them, which makes it less cool to talk about because it’s not special or exclusive. Plus this creative has been copy tested against the majority. It has been watered down to be liked and revered by the greatest amount of people possible. If you were a Blogger or a Journalist you would want to break the story, you wouldn’t want to just add your POV to it.
  • 41. ADOPTION CURVE WITH PROPAGATION BROADCAST MEDIA Early Majority > < Late Majority Early Adopters > < Laggards Innovators > (This creative targets the influencers) PROPAGATION TIME AND SALES STIMULUS So... what if we targeted influencers? This creative wouldn’t look like the creative we put into Broadcast Media, that’s too safe. This creative needs to be raw, perhaps unfinished so the influencers have a chance to affect and shape the creative. Perhaps they have a chance to become part of the story themselves? Perhaps they have a chance to invite their followers to become a part of the story? This happens a lot in good Movie campaigns.
