  • Content Marketing in Practice: Captivate and Convert

    23 April 2013

    Brand storytelling, when done right, allows marketers to lead customers on a journey, captivating them and inspiring them to convert. A recent move by Coca-Cola has seen their corporate website transform into a “dynamic, digital magazine” aiming to tell their brand story in a creative, refreshing way. Macmillan Cancer Support's current 'Not alone' campaign tells a powerful story and drives donations as it brings Macmillan front of mind for cancer patients and their friends and families. 

    So as more and more organisations jump on the content marketing bandwagon, this Brand Republic webcast reveals what it takes to build a flexible strategy with a unified brand message that truly resonates with your audience.

    Tune in live as we reveal the results of our survey on content marketing and hear:

    • How to create rich content and engaging, interactive user experiences across video, mobile and social media
    • How to successfully translate this customer engagement to your bottom line
    • Who is best placed to create the content within your team. Is creating imaginative content instinctive or can it be taught?
    • How to coordinate and manage your content marketing strategy to create a unified voice and message across multiple channels

    Speakers:
    Alastair Mackie, Head of Digital Development, Advertising, Financial Times
    Louise Bolt, Digital Marketing Officer, Macmillan Cancer Support
    Steve Smith, Managing Director, Ear to the Ground

  • New Rules for Online Advertising: Are You Compliant?

    20 March 2013

    New rules from the UK Committee on Advertising Practices (CAP) covering online behavioural advertising (OBA), came into effect on the 4th of February 2013. For the first time, the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) will regulate the way that ad networks and third parties use online behavioural tracking and targeting technologies such as cookies.

    Thousands of advertisers are in breach of this rule so what happens if you are not compliant and how will this impact your marketing?

    Firstly, to comply with these rules, adverts based on browsing history data, will have to include information explaining to consumers that they have been targeted using OBA and advertisers must provide users with a way to opt out.

    If you are an advertiser, agency, publisher or ad network, tune in live to our next webcast where we’ll be drilling into the new CAP rules, consumer attitudes to OBA and the steps you need to take to ensure you are compliant. Find out how to build trust by giving consumers transparency, notice and choice.
