Tubefilter’s Marc Hustvedt is heading to OMMA Global up in San Francisco next month to lead a panel all about the big deals in branded entertainment. March 1st. Come join us, kiddos! (it’s free for MediaPost members)

Brands, Content and Distribution: The Holy Trinity in Branded Entertainment

Winning deals in branded entertainment on the web usually entail smart packaging around the “holy trinity” of content, brand and distribution. With the major online networks like Hulu, MSN, AOL and Yahoo competing for seven-figure ad deals, they are turning to a higher caliber of content creators to develop the kind of entertainment content that rivals TV. Recent examples like the Mattel-sponsored ’Genuine Ken’ series is the first half-hour web original on Hulu, and is proving it can compete with its pricier network TV comparables. What’s the state of branded entertainment in 2011? Does traditional celebrity or internet star prove to be more valuable in terms of talent? What kind of ROI are brands looking for now with the latest generation of online series?

Tubefilter Panel at SXSW Interactive!

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 13:22:51 -0800

We just found out today that our panel—Decision Trees: YouTube’s New Breed of Interactive Storytellers—was accepted for SXSW Interactive in Austin this March.

More details on the specifics and who’s speaking as we get closer, but we can tell you this: it will be one of the most fun (and interactive) sessions in the entire conference!

With over 2,400 panel submissions this year, we were honored to be selected out of that very competitive pool of applicants. Check out the other panels just announced here.

Here’s our overview from our submission:

YouTube’s annotations tool opened up a whole new way telling stories, with the rise of interactive videos that let viewers “choose-their-own-adventure” as they navigate through the story. This panel bring together the best and most creative of YouTube’s new breed of interactive storytellers to share their secrets of how they pull off these complex creations—including a walkthrough of actual viewer decision trees from their projects.

As if you needed one more reason to go to SXSW, make sure to read our recap of last year: “Why Your Web Series Should Have Gone to SXSW”

See you in Austin!
