'House of Cards' And Video Games: Product Placement Or Plot Point?

'House of Cards' And Video Games: Product Placement Or Plot Point? | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Paul Tassi:  "Unlike many out there, I don’t believe the validity of video gaming as an adult pastime lives and dies by its depiction in other forms of media, especially television. And yet, there is something to be said about a nuanced portrayal of a non-traditional gamer in a show like House of Cards, even if it only gets it right some of the time."

Is Twitter a Gold Mine for Character-Based Brand Storytelling?

Is Twitter a Gold Mine for Character-Based Brand Storytelling? | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Jon Thomas:  "In August 2009, Sloth tweeted “Hey you guys!” His handle: @SlothGoonies. His location: In a basement. His run on Twitter lasted only two months and garnered only 20 followers, but they were a glorious two months for those of us who love Goonies."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

It's not just Brands who will find this article interesting. Points discussed are of value to all storytellers.

Nicole O'Rourke's curator insight, September 4, 2013 8:34 PM

This is an interesting take on affective disposition theory using twitter. Characters actions, intentions, attitudes or statements can remind people of their own life. The use of twitter allows people to become active participants. This article describes clearly how social media can be used as a form of entertainment as well as opening the door for marketers to use social media to create characters or transfer previously used characters in order to relate and interact with consumers.

Gunther Sonnenfeld:  "With global economic parity looming, companies can no longer rely on themselves for the answers. They must co-create new value systems with their customers and other businesses not only to survive, but to grow. And stories – or the act of curating them – can provide amazing new opportunities for growth."
