«El marketing tradicional no está funcionando». Con esta contundencia y precisión describe el gran maestro del marketing moderno, Philip Kottler, la situación a la que nos enfrentamos quienes, profesional o académicamente, nos ocupamos de esta disciplina. El marketing tradicional, desarrollado sobre todo a partir de los años sesenta, hoy aparece como un anciano irreconocible. Estamos en un nuevo contexto que exige nuevas comunicaciones de marketing centradas en la creación y distribución de unos contenidos tan relevantes para el consumidor que sea él mismo quien decida acceder libremente a ellos. Algunas marcas han elegido la producción de entretenimiento como vehículo de transmisión de sus mensajes de marca, aplicando los conocimientos de la industria del entretenimiento a la creación de unos contenidos propios, al servicio de los valores de la marca, capaces de despertar deseos y emociones por sí mismos. Estas marcas, han optado por el branded entertainment: contenido de entretenimiento, creado y producido por una marca, lo suficientemente interesante y atractivo como para que su público lo elija frente a otros productos de entretenimiento. En este libro, se profundiza en el conocimiento del branded entertainment; una herramienta de comunicación comercial que debe alcanzar un adecuado equilibrio entre la identificación de la marca y la capacidad del contenido creado para proporcionar una experiencia positiva para el consumidor. A través de sus páginas se van desgranando las características del branded entertainment y, mediante los ejemplos, se ponen de relieve las posibilidades de esta técnica capaz de llegar al consumidor como nunca antes se había logrado. Ha llegado el momento de decir adiós a la interrupción de contenidos elegidos para el consumidor, forzándole a ver publicidad que no desea, y de dar la bienvenida al branded entertainment, contenidos relevantes para el consumidor, que él mismo elige, distribuidos por una marca.

This is a critical study of the changing relationship between media and marketing communications in the digital age. It examines the growth of content funded by brands, including brands’ own media, native advertising, and the integration of branded content across film, television, journalism and publishing, online, mobile, and social media. This ambitious historical, empirical, and theoretical study examines industry practices, policies, and ‘problems’, advancing a framework for analysis of communications governance. Featuring examples from the UK, US, EU, Asia, and other regions, it illustrates and explains industry practices, forms, and formats and their relationship with changing market conditions, policies, and regulation. The book provides a wide-ranging and incisive guide to contemporary advertising and media practices, to different arguments and perspectives on these practices arising in industry, policy, and academic contexts, and to the contribution made by critical scholarship, past and present. It also offers a critical review of industry, regulatory, societal, and academic literatures. Jonathan Hardy examines the erosion of the principle of separating advertising and media and calls for a new framework for distinguishing marketing communications across 21st-century communications. With a focus on key issues in industry, policy, and academic contexts, this is essential reading for students of media industries, advertising, marketing, and digital media.

In a globalized world full of noise, brands are constantly launching messages through different channels. For the last two decades, brands, marketers, and creatives have faced the difficult task of reaching those individuals who do not want to watch or listen to what they are trying to tell them. By producing fewer ads or making them louder or more striking, more brands and communications professionals are not going to get those people to pay more attention to their messages; they will only want to avoid advertising in all media. The Handbook of Research on the Future of Advertising and Brands in the New Entertainment Landscape provides a theoretical, reflective, and empirical perspective on branded content and branded entertainment in relation to audience engagement. It reviews different cases about branded content to address the dramatic change that brands and conventional advertising are facing short term. Covering topics such as branded content measurement tools, digital entertainment culture, and government storytelling, this major reference work is an excellent resource for marketers, advertising agencies, brand managers, business leaders and managers, communications professionals, government officials, non-profit organizations, students and educators of higher education, academic libraries, researchers, and academicians.

This book addresses innovative and new aspects of branding and advertising communication, by drawing on a broad, interdisciplinary range of theories, methods and techniques– from body image, identity and mental imagery, to self-exposure and LCM4P – intersecting with branding and advertising constructs and practices. The editor combines the perspectives of an international group of scholars to establish new theoretical frameworks and proposes new methodological designs to conduct comprehensive studies in the field. Situated at the intersection between society, communication and psychology, each chapter presents an innovative approach to branding and advertising research. The book explores topics such as social robots, body image in video advertising, brand personality, transmedia personal brands, erotic content in commercial images, and brand fandom communities. Innovation in Advertising and Branding Communication will be a valuable resource for scholars working in the fields of marketing communication, branding and advertising, online communication, sociology, social psychology and linguistics

As media evolves with technological improvement, communication changes alongside it. In particular, storytelling and narrative structure have adapted to the new digital landscape, allowing creators to weave immersive and enticing experiences that captivate viewers. These experiences have great potential in marketing and advertising, but the medium’s methods are so young that their potential and effectiveness is not yet fully understood.

Highlighting a wide range of topics including promotion strategies, business models, and prosumers and influencers, this book is ideally designed for digital creators, advertisers, marketers, consumer analysts, media professionals, entrepreneurs, managers, executives, researchers, academicians, and students.
