Good Video, ‘Bad’ Video


Tune into Naked Media on June 30 to discuss this and other advertising and PR with digital strategists from Ogilvy and Marsteller.

Viral video is, well, viral. Which means it’s out of control and spreads beyond wherever it’s launched from.

For handlers of the Dove brand, that was considered a good thing when its “Dove Evolution” video (also above) was picked up around the Web and got more than 7 million views on YouTube. But it also launched parodies, like this one, with the tagline: “Thank God our perception of real life is distorted. No one wants to look at ugly people.”

And what about the award-winning but fake J.C. Penney “ad” that shows a teenage couple scheming to hide their sexual exploits from the girl’s mom? J.C. Penney is very upset, and by the time you click on the below, it might have been removed from YouTube.

On Tuesday, June 30, we’ll be talking to digital strategist Ben Ezrick of Ogilvy, who produced the Dove campaign, and Erin Byrne, Chief Digital Strategist at PR firm Marsteller about viral video and other uncontrollable media on Naked Media, the show we’re producing in partnership with Scribe Media.

Digital vs. ‘Legacy’ Staff: No Problem

managing staff or digital success Well, maybe a leeeetle bit of a problem, for those trying to get their staff at a magazine — or any media company — to work well and play nice across the digital divide. The folks on the traditional side have priorities that might not be the same as the folks on digital. Can be as simple as the difference in weekly or monthly vs. daily or moment-by-moment schedules, to the differences in orientation when you’re working on search engine optimization and a web of digital products vs. production schedules and printing with color separations. The questions are operational, cultural and financial, and have a great bearing on strategy.

We’ll explore the issues Wednesday morning, and try to get to answers — the actual implementation — at a Magazine Publishers of America breakfast with some leaders of magazines in the digital space: Michael Silberman, General Manager, NYMag.com; Bill Stump, VP, brand editor of Men’s Health, editor MensHealth.com; Philippe Guelton, COO, Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. and Toni Nevitt, President, eMedia Advantage. The lessons hold not just for magazines, but across the divide.

You can sign up to attend at the MPA website. We’ll also be shooting a video with partners Scribe Media for later use (but believe us: Attending live is best, if you can). The formal name of the event: “Organizing Your Staff for Digital Success“.
