Transmedia?

Transmedia is not new thing, even if you are unfamiliar with the term. There has been some form of it since the ‘70s.  It can be defined as “the technique of telling a single story or story experience across multiple platforms and formats using current digital technologies…” Do to the increasing inter-connectivity in our daily lives, this may be a major direction media and entertainment could be taking in the future.

Choose the media based on the strategy

Each media has a purpose.

Choose the media based on the marketing strategy.

Broadcast TV – To reach the masses with a single :30 spot. Reach is the goal.

Radio – To reach narrowed, targeted, niche groups of people with frequency being the goal.

Trade Publications – One business talking to another.
Cable TV – “Radio with pictures.” Same goal – same objective.
Consumer Magazines – To reach upscale people in their leisure time with high ticketed items.

Outdoor – A “reminder” medium. Similar to a :10 spot in broadcast. Good to reach the masses with reach and frequency the goal.

In radio, it takes twice as long to get the message across to the listener, because there is no visual. In radio, :60 is the most used spot length.
