A WORKING DEFINITION? >
For me, something that is worth the consumer’s time is the best definition of branded content. So if you think more radically and try and stretch that definition, then even a 30 second spot is branded content if it’s worth the consumers’ time. And I’m fine with that, as I like to play through those lines.

In advertising, people are thrilled if an ad goes viral or even gets watched. Then there’s a few thousand people in LA who create work that people pay to go and see. ”

I keep hearing everyone talk about content, but I’ve never heard anyone define it. Gradually, I began to get the idea that what content actually is wasn’t important at all. Content is seen as just stuff… the unimportant stuff that gets delivered by efficient, exciting new delivery systems..” DAVE TROTT

BUT WHAT IS CONTENT >
Dave Trott: Content, content, content (2015)
Brands need to understand that connecting with people is a social exercise that is conducted through the messy, murky construct called culture: the stuff we consume, talk about, watch, and interact with.
MORE THAN JUST CONTENT-LIKE STUFF >

STORIES ARE THE MEANS BY WHICH YOU CONNECT WITH PEOPLE VIA CULTURE
Chris McCarthy Interview (2015)
Brands are going to have to change their processes, the skillsets of the people they hire, the timeframes they work on, the way they allocate and think about budgets, and their definition of creativity.
