Watch with Mother – 6 part Web Series on itunes

March 30, 2012 Leave a comment

Like the sound of this project. The horror genre always works well virally online, and with the creative edge of The Glue Society should be some engaging content.
Its ballsy using online as the distribution model through iTunes
Hopefully they will have a good marketing and media campaign to gain audience quickly

The Glue Society presents Watch With Mother.

A teaser campaign for The Glue Society’s forthcoming sketch show unlike any other has launched on Facebook.
Watch With Mother is a six-part sketch horror series written and directed by The Glue Society and produced by Revolver.
Before the show goes live online on June 13 (unlucky for some), the Watch With Mother Facebook page will feature updates, teasers and access to behind-the-scenes material.

BMW Tate Live: Performance Room

March 29, 2012 Leave a comment

BMW Tate Live: Performance Room is an innovative series of performances broadcast viewable exclusively online around the globe, as they happen.

Five artists each present works for the BMW Tate Live Performance Room beginning with choreographer and dancer Jérôme Bel on 22 March 2012 and continuing monthly with Pablo Bronstein, Harrell Fletcher, Joan Jonas and Emily Roysdon. Audiences can pose questions to the artist and curators, and interact with other viewers via social media.

You are invited to enter the online BMW Tate Live Performance Room via Tate’s YouTube channel at 20.00 hrs in the UK and at exactly the same moment across the globe on the specified dates.

So if you are on the East Coast of America, log on at 15.00 hrs for a mid-afternoon art break, if you are located in Europe then join us at 21.00 hrs for an evening performance and for those in Russia, needing some late night art at 23.00 hrs.

The global audience are encouraged to chat with other viewers via social media channels during the performance and to put questions to the artists or curator following it using Tate’s social media channels on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube and the Twitter hashtag #BMWTateLive.

This ground-breaking series is completely unlike anything Tate has done before.
The events will be broadcast live to anyone with an internet connection, bringing the global community together to experience the Tate programme simultaneously wherever you are in the world.
Each performance will be archived and available to view online at a later date.

See Jérôme Bel online on 22 March, Pablo Bronstein on 26 April, Emily Roysdon on 31 May, Harrell Fletcher on 28 June and Joan Jonas later in the year.

BMW Tate Live is a partnership between BMW and Tate, which focuses on performance, interdisciplinary art and curating digital space.

BMW Tate Live: Performance Room is the inaugural strand of the partnership and features five commissions in 2012.

Culture boom – How Digital Media are invigorating Australia

March 29, 2012 Leave a comment

6 months ago I was interviewed by the Boston Consulting Group about digital media in Australia. I spent a very enjoyable two hours over a long lunch dissecting the industry, assessing the key trends and players, and crystal ball gazing as to the future.

Had forgotten all about it when the report got sent to me. Some great research here.
Revenues are up, employment is up, consumption is up, yet stil digital plays a minor role compared to the other traditional mediums. The report forecasts this to change.
And some great case studies – including the work we do for The Sydney Opera House

Nice little project from LinkedIn mapping your followers

Infographic on Australia’s digital evolution

March 28, 2012 Leave a comment

Taken from Marketing Magazine

Keep a close eye on the future. That has been the message to come out of the trend reports on digital, as online behaviour continues to change and evolve rapidly.

Published in March’s issue of Marketing magazine, the infographic below shows some of the changes in Australia’s online behaviour between 2010 and 2011.
Drawn from TNS’ Digital Life study and Nielsen’s Online Ratings, the data shows shifts in the activities consumers engage in during their leisure time.

As has been well documented, social media use is surging, up by 127% during 2011 and increasing its share of leisure time pursuits by 36%. Australians now spend 9.3 hours per week on social networks. In contrast, email is down 18% year on year, to 3.7 hours of leisure use per week.

Gaming is on the rise, up from 2.1 hours per week to 3.5 hours per week for the average Australian. Weekly gaming on social networks, online gaming sites and gaming consoles is heading towards one in two online Australians, highlighting the gamification trend as one to watch.

Time spent shopping grew 21% to account for 1.7 hours of our online leisure time. On a selff-reported basis, 17% of retail purchases were made via online retailers, with more buying from online retail brands than brand/ manufacturer sites. Amazon was the leading mass merchandising retailer in terms of traffic according to Nielsen.

Multimedia use continues to grow with online video now accessed weekly by 52% of online Australians (81% of sophisticated users).
Music streaming is now accessed weekly by 43% of online Aussies.

This graphic draws on TNS’ online consumer segmentation to contrast how sophisticated internet users (‘Influencers’) against basic internet users (‘Functionals’).

Madonna and Jimmy Fallon will ‘break the Internet’

March 22, 2012 Leave a comment

See Jimmy Fallon blog post:

It’s not surprising that late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon will be interviewing Madonna on Saturday, but this time it will be streamed live to everyone who’s on Facebook rather than be on TV.

The interview will take place in front of a live audience, and fans are invited to submit questions for the live stream chat hosted on Madonna’s Facebook page March 24 at 6 p.m. EDT.

“I’m going to break the Internet,” Fallon said on his Late Night with Jimmy Fallon television broadcast. “This interview with me is the only live press she’s doing … We’re going to take questions from fans on Facebook, and the whole thing will be broadcast live around the world.”

Viewing is free but requires fans to “like” Madonna’s page first. The superstar’s Facebook page has already started to share video shot behind-the-scenes at tour rehearsals and other sneak previews in the buildup to the release of MDNA, her 12th studio album, on Monday (March 26) on Interscope Records.

The first single off MDNA is “Give Me All Your Luvin,” which already has become Madonna’s 41st No.1 dance hit.
