Ouch. (more…) NBC’s 30 Rock Hulu Stunt Pays DividendsWednesday, November 5th, 2008Please welcome Liz Lemon!!! NBC debuted 30 Rock last Thursday to series-high ratings as 8.7 million viewers tuned in to watch Tina Fey and her cadre of witty quippers poke fun at their craft. What’s notable is that the show hit those record numbers after the same episode had been available online exclusively on Hulu and NBC.com for over a week.

How Passive Consumers Became Active TrollersThursday, August 21st, 2008Take an hour out of your life and watch this important video. It’s an excellent overview of the evolution of new media’s impact on human interaction. It highlights the role that YouTube is playing in the development of Fan Fiction (a somewhat inaccurate yet my current preferred euphemism for User Generated Content). If you’re short on time, skip to the conclusion at 45:15 and listen to Lawrence Lessig’s take on the cultural inflection point that we have communally reached due to the connectivity and access provided to us through digital distribution. The Safran Digital / Xbox Original Content Deal - Why it MattersWednesday, July 23rd, 2008
The directors involved include James Wan (Saw, Death Sentence), David Slade (30 Days of Night, Hard Candy), James Gunn (Slither), Lucky McKee (May), Andrew Douglas (The Amityville Horror) and Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th). I’m extremely proud of the filmmakers and their camps, the deal we’ve put together and what I believe it represents for the future of digital content economics.

More on Cuban’s The Ala Carting of Video on the Net - Will it lead to disaster?Tuesday, May 27th, 2008
Incidentally, it was my most trafficked day and much to my surprise, I received a comment from one of my favorite bloggers, Hank Williams, who writes the influential whydoeseverythingsuck.com?” Mark’s post has sparked a debate that has spilled over from the circle of web video bloggers into a broader conversation. Next week I’m in New York for the Advertising 2.0 event and plan to bring Mark’s position, and my rebuttal, to the panel on which I’m speaking. (more…) A Really Good Viral Video Campaign. Who Financed it?Tuesday, May 6th, 2008
Let’s make a bet. I’ll bet that by the time you’re halfway through watching the below video your commercial instinct will suggest that what you’re watching is a piece of marketing material. I’ll also bet that you’re going to keeping watching until the video is over. It’s that good. (more…) George K. Talks Hulu, But How Long Will NBC.com Get All The Love?Monday, April 21st, 2008
I’ll bet the folks that run NBC.com did. In fact, they mention it, but Hulu represents a threat to NBC.com and all network vertical sites. But as we know, a threat is opportunity unspun, which might be why I found last week’s Ad Tech Keynote discussion with NBC’s Chief Digital Officer, George K. so interesting. There’s No Free Lunch With Lew HendersonWednesday, April 2nd, 2008
Lew Henderson, who oversees the William Morris Agency’s digital business, is one of the most respected players in the digital entertainment business. And for good reason. He’s been making deals during every cycle of convergence fever: from the CD-ROM to Bubble 1.0 to the Dot Com Bust to Web 2.0 to Rise of the Social Nets to the M&A Frenzy of ‘05/’06 to Video Site Landgrab of ‘07 to today. That depth of experience translates to a sophisticated perspective of the ways things work. When Lew talks, I listen closely. |
