A unified experience across all channels improves recall + consideration.
20. 4. Blockbusters Should Feature Brand Characters
People trust people more than faceless corporations

Leading indicator of how to GTM with content should be entertainment industry
Over past 10 years, bought Pixar, Marvel, Star W
Since focusing on repeatable franchises, Disney’s revenue is up 61%
And this can be used across all marketing channels, search, social, fb, lnkd, etc
PWC is doing this well, no one else really is
Why drive offsite? It cuts reach by 99% probably, since no one clicks on things, instead it could be 10 infographics

Why? These three reasons
So think of your framework with targeting layered into it

But the recall part is more important
Lower costs because you earn relevancy and can optimize bigger data sets
Money saved on creation can be poured into distribution
