How do you transform the digital experience and culture of a stalwart in broadcasting, news, and media? CNN Digital, the leading digital news outlet, recognized that in an era driven by an insatiable demand for real-time news and multimedia content, the landscape of media consumption has undergone a profound shift towards digital experiences. Recognizing this seismic change, CNN understood the imperative to strategically reassess its digital presence to maintain its dominance in the digital realm. Alexander Hsiao, VP of Product Design at CNN, embarked on Project Elevate together with Amanda Rottier, SVP and Head of Product at CNN. Alex explains, “I felt the need for a spark to guide us forward, and it was clear that we needed a game-changer so I initiated Project Elevate. I wanted to paint a vivid picture of what our future could look like, to inspire and propel us forward in the face of uncertainty and rapid change.”  Read the full impact story: https://lnkd.in/gXXiAj_J #designleadership

In a captivating discussion from 1966, Marshall McLuhan foresaw the profound shift in our relationship with the media. He astutely noted the transformation from mere product obsession to a heightened concern for the consequences of media dissemination. McLuhan articulated how television, with its immersive nature, was reshaping societal attitudes and behaviors, fostering a more inward and thoughtful generation. He emphasized the need to comprehend these shifts to effectively navigate the evolving media landscape. Reflecting on McLuhan's insights, it's evident that our current digital age continues to amplify these dynamics. As professionals in media and communication, it's imperative to not only embrace innovation but also to critically evaluate its implications and empower others to do the same. #internetrevolution #digitalage #visionarythinking #humancentereddesign #techrevolution #linkedin

Juggling Rings and Political Things: How NBC Can Keep Viewers Hooked During the Olympics and DNC For advertisers, the Olympics is a golden opportunity to capture attention during a traditionally slow period in the entertainment cycle. As most shows conclude their spring seasons before Memorial Day, summer programming is typically dominated by live-action unscripted content, specials, and reruns. This makes it challenging for advertisers to achieve quality reach and frequency. The Tokyo 2021 Olympics averaged 15.5 million viewers per night, highlighting the growing complexity of engaging audiences in the digital age. The opening weekend of the Paris 2024 Olympics saw a significant improvement, averaging 34.5 million viewers across all NBCU platforms, an increase of nearly 80% over Tokyo. As we approach the DNC, NBC faces the challenge of balancing Olympic coverage with a political spectacle that could dominate the nation's focus. This situation calls for the same Sorkin-esque emotional finesse seen in the network's political drama “The West Wing.” I may not be Aaron Sorkin, but my book, “Moving Your Brand Out of the Friend Zone,” underscores the vital role of emotional engagement in marketing, and this is a prime example. Even amid the political drama, NBC must maintain a strong emotional connection with the viewers, ensuring they remain deeply engaged with the Olympics. Creating resonant narratives can ensure compelling content. The brand value equation (value = experience divided by price), also mentioned in my book, remains crucial. For NBC, the viewing experience must significantly outweigh the “price” of viewers’ time. Ensuring that audiences find value in it will minimize churn. Additionally, programming during such a pivotal moment requires careful planning. NBC should analyze data from past overlapping events and leverage digital platforms for both live and on-demand Olympic content. Advertisers must also diversify strategies, integrating campaigns across television and digital to maintain reach and frequency. Balancing Olympic coverage with an open DNC is a challenge and an opportunity to showcase strategic acumen. Edu-Tainment at its best!
