8 Rules for Creating a Successful Transmedia "Storyworld" | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Via Simon Staffans
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Max Follmer "[...] with rapidly increasing competition for viewers, growing smartphone and tablet penetration, and the emergence of new platforms, marketing and creative teams are increasingly playing an important role in developing “storyworlds,” experiences that bridge the gap between marketing and content and lay out the mythology, characters, setting, backstories, and events that drive a show."

Eight tips on what to think of when creating transmedia.

Debbie Elicksen 's curator insight, March 29, 2014 7:46 PM

“As the battle for viewers’ attention becomes more and more intense, we’re seeing marketing teams start to build their storyworlds earlier and earlier ahead of launches.”  


Popular television shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, The Good Wife, Dallas, and others do a great job of using transmedia to turn viewers into disciples and also attract new viewers.
