What is competitive socialising? 🥇 Simply, it’s the act of playing a game with others in a social setting such as a pub. It’s all about bringing people together for fun and friendly competition. Some of the most common examples include bowling escape rooms, axe throwing, darts, pool and shuffleboard. These games can all be enjoyed alongside a few drinks and are designed to bring friends and family together. There has been a shift, especially among younger generations who don’t just want to sit still whilst on a night out. The switch from passive spectating to active participation is something the new generation of customers is looking for. But why is it good for pubs?

Are you doing #Kenough? Ryan Gosling's live performance of "I'm Just Ken" at the Oscars lends some great inspiration for buzzworthy resident events. The editor-in-chief of Multi-Housing News, Jessica Fiur, shares the following: "Having fun and doing events that are a little wacky, or having social media campaigns that are a little flashy are going to be what your residents remember, what they’ll share on social media and what they’ll tell their friends, who might be convinced to take a look at your apartments themselves, all of which can encourage lease renewals and new renters." So from costume karaoke to murder mystery games, what kinds of resident event ideas do you have up your sleeve? #residentevents #apartmentliving #apartmentmarketing

Pound for pound, this is one of the best creative concepts and execution of all time. It was a fun, and brutally honest attempt, to reclaim some semblance of relevance in hopes of saving a dying brand. However, it didn't work. To me, the biggest problem is that the Creative mostly resonates with my generation, persons who had already written off Radio Shack. All the nostalgic characters were largely irrelevant to younger customers who never considered Radio Shack a viable alternative. A new generation of customers, which the brand desperately needed, didn't understand most of the pop culture references. Despite what the Cannes Lion community wants us to believe, advertising isn't art, and Creativity isn't enough. Advertising must achieve a commercial objective, and money spent on talent and production must produce an ROI. Radio Shack filed for bankruptcy a year after its massive bet on paid media failed to pay off. Fun ideas are fun, but effective ideas are even better. Don't be bamboozled by a charismatic creative director looking to produce something that will be better for his/her portfolio than your bottom line.

Happy #timelinetuesday! This is the trailer for "Better Together", a sports documentary we've been editing for the past few months that follows a college basketball team on their path to redemption. The timeline may look simple, but man are trailers TRICKY. The pacing, the story structure, THE MUSIC... It always gets more complex than you'd expect, especially when you've only got 2 minutes to tell a story that spans five 30-minute episodes. 🫠 #premierepro #videoediting
