50 Genius Print Ads With Brilliant Design Techniques – Design School

50 Genius Print Ads With Brilliant Design Techniques – Design School | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

We are constantly exposed to advertising in our daily lives, be it online, in print, on billboards or through our television screens. In fact, research suggests we are exposed to, on average, 362 ads per day (not including brand exposures) but only 3 per cent of these will make an impression. That’s just twelve ads a day that actually engage us.

So how do you break through the advertising clutter and make a memorable advertisement for your audience or target market? First come up with a solid concept and then consider your design. Attention to layout and presentation will help your ad get noticed; but attention to concept and creativity will help your ad be remembered.

Here are fifty print ads that are creatively brilliant. They have a solid concept topped off with great design....

"We are in the sunset of the age of paid advertising as the dawn of content marketing arises. Consumers are now 'ad skippers' and 'banner blind,' but consumers respond to relevant and authentic content.

 

Great brand stories, images, infographics, information, videos and even ads can be used as a new form of 'currency.'”

What's The Secret Recipe for Viral Content Marketing Success?

What's The Secret Recipe for Viral Content Marketing Success? | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
We know that content marketing is one of the best ways to engage with audiences and potential customers online. But what happens when a business has tried content marketing and has seen few returns?

 

"What if you don’t have years; don’t have the time, energy, or budgets to create compelling content on a regular basis; or simply need to build an audience fast? The answer is this: you must create something viral; content that can spread in a way that creates massive attention. Content that will boost you above the writhing masses, and make others take notice."

What if you don't have years? The heck with that, what if you don't have any appreciable time at all. If your like most small businesses you need a steady stream of action and growth yesterday, the luxury of waiting for results doesn't exist for you.


Kelsey Libert lays out one of the best explanations of how content marketing may go viral, and how emotions may be the determining factor of viral success.


Libert deftly winds us through the maze of viral content marketing but beware this is not a walk through the park where you'll learn and understand everything in 5 minutes. Stick with it and you'll find lots of gems.


Step 1: Understanding the truth about your competition


Step 2: Engagement is good, but viral is better


Step 3: Understanding what it means to “go viral"


Step 4: Creating content with a viral coefficient above 1


Step 5: Decreasing viral cycle time


Step 6: The limitations of virality and the importance of audience.


Step 7: Considerations for fractal virality


Take this with you: Be Willing To Fail

Facebook Shares Jump on Upgrades

Facebook Shares Jump on Upgrades | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
After a slow start, Facebook's effort to squeeze more money from advertisers on mobile devices is starting to pay off. Its shares opened sharply higher Wednesday, helped by analyst upgrades.

Mobile advertising is a mine field so it will be interesting to see if Facebook can maintain this rise in profits from it. As we have seen lately from Google's 'minor' blip, keeping an increasing growth from online advertising is tricky business.

Social Media Advertising: A Complete Ad Size Cheat Sheet

Social Media Advertising: A Complete Ad Size Cheat Sheet | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Are you considering paying for social media adverts? Want to know the correct size graphics you should use for each network?


Organic social media reach can only get you so far (especially as social networks keep trying to reduce it). Creating posts that go viral every time is near impossible so if you have an sales offer or piece of content that you need to be shared, adverts may be a route you want to go down.


The guys at Bannersnack have included ad size dimensions for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google Plus in the infographic below....

Thought provoking, however, montetization of curation is still very limited. Scoop.It & others offer no means for monetization at all. Like content creation, & most everything on the net, compensation for cuation is still a giant question mark.

Monica S Mcfeeters's curator insight, July 23, 2013 7:26 AM

I've heard everyone from Jaron Lanier to Tim Berners-Lee and a number of other noteworthy tech brains bring up this topic up. How do the creators of content and innovative ideas cash in on the contributions they have made that everyone is passing along and sharing? No one wants their work and thoughts stolen and most everyone I know wants creative people to keep creating what we need and want and would like them rewarded and to be able to earn a decent living doing that. This article is about how we can make sure that happens.

corneja's curator insight, July 23, 2013 5:24 PM

Thanks for this reflexion about contents and their creators in the times of the content curation!  Sorry, I didn't intend to make a rhyme. :-/

Is Google the Killer of Newspaper Print Ad Sales?

Is Google the Killer of Newspaper Print Ad Sales? | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
The U.S. newspaper industry has lost more than $40 billion in ad revenue in the past decade — over half of that in the last four years alone — and Google’s ad revenues are now more than twice what the industry pulls in.

Google transformed advs and made them accesible to SME's. So low budget marketing departments can act more easily, even if they run their campain through agances.
Guillaume Decugis's comment, April 22, 2013 11:33 AM
@Jalp: good point and an essential reason that drove this change. Not just attention but lowering the barrier to entry. Thanks!
Kitty A. Smith's comment, May 6, 2013 2:37 PM
People are always looking to place fault. Things change when something better comes along. Just because newspapers were first doesn't mean they are best. Tobacco knows time is limited, that would explain why they bought Kraft Foods!

Extract from United’s campaign video, February 2011


Matmi is proud to have so many very happy clients – but this was a first. Not the quote so much as the fact that our client (via our American partner, Barrie D’Rozario Murphy) was so happy with the results of this campaign, they made a video about it!
