    The secrets of creating great content with storytelling! Revealed in this episode! The Content Marketing Institute, an online resource for information on all things content marketing related, defines content marketing thusly: Content marketing is a marketing technique of creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and acquire a clearly defined audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action. The key word here is “valuable.” It’s what changes this definition from one that could describe almost any form of advertising or marketing. You can tell if a piece of content is the sort that could be part of a content marketing campaign if people seek it out, if people want to consume it, rather than avoiding it.

    Episode 10: How to tell powerful and purposeful stories with data. With Sam Knowles, Author of Narrative by Numbers

    As jobs become increasingly similar, there are two skills that everyone would need if they are to thrive. These are the ability to interrogate and make sense of data, and the ability to use insights extracted from data to persuade others to act.  Essentially - Analytics + Storytelling = influence. Humans are hardwired to respond to stories and story structure. Stories are how we make sense of and navigate the world. We respond best to stories based on evidence. But storytellers need to use data as the foundation of stories, not as actual stories themselves. To be truly impactful, rational facts need to be presented with a veneer of emotion.  Sam Knowles is a guru in synergizing data with stories. With an unbeatable and unique background of data, statistics and public relations; he presents some simple and effective rules of data-driven storytelling that helps everyone tell more compelling, evidence-based stories, whoever they may need to convince. He discusses his book, Narrative by Numbers in this podcast. The podcast is in partnership with the BCMA.

    Episode 9: The Future Technologies & Strategies in OOH advertising. With Kevin Henry, Ocean Outdoor

    Out of Home (OOH) is defined as advertising that reaches people outside of their homes in public places. This fast-growing industry includes traditional media displayed on billboards and posters, typically in waiting areas (such as train stations or bus shelters), as well as roads, motorways and in-transit. The entire UK OOH industry is worth more than £1 billion.  Digital Out Of Home (DOOH) lets brands distribute creative, dynamic and (vitally) on-the-fly messaging into essentially any venue, including shopping centres, cinemas, restaurants, bars, gyms and petrol stations. DOOH ad spending is growing at a phenomenal rate and is expected to account for 47% of the total UK OOH market in 2018, reports eMarketer.  We speak to Kevin Henry, Head of Content & Sponsorship for Ocean Outdoor.   Having created the Digital Out of Home (DOOH) category in 2005, Ocean has pioneered, driven and established DOOH to be the engaging media channel that it is today, accounting for circa 50% of all OOH spend.  Ocean delivers an advertising channel that exceeds the traditional OOH market through merging the inherent branding strengths of OOH and enhancing through location, audience, research, data and unique technology.    Ocean is the pioneer in DOOH advertising technology, leading a new wave of creative solutions through its Ocean Labs division including proprietary solutions such as Vehicle Detection Technology, SimplyFi (Wi-Fi Sponsorship), LookOut Facial Detection Technology and Augmented Reality 
  Ocean sees digital marketing, in all its forms, as a companion, not a competitor. The most progressive of modern marketers is one that understands the combination of the accuracy and accountability of digital, and the impact, trust & fame building abilities delivered by the overtness of out-of-home, is a winning formula in today’s cluttered advertising market.   Hear the secrets of OOH advertising success.   The podcast is in partnership with the BCMA.
