Storytelling is arguably the most important thing in social media & brand marketing. Lately, my team has had some new exciting ideas on how to develop and grow our social presence, something that often takes the back seat in the financial services space, and focus on content that represents who we are as a brand. These are some questions we asked ourselves to keep storytelling at the forefront of our social strategy: - Are we giving our audience the authenticity & emotional engagement that they need to connect with us? - Are we telling stories that show our values in every day life? - How do we show more of the people behind the brand? - Will this content educate, entertain, or excite our audience? (if not, don't post it!) - Are we posting this just to fill a content slot? We keep reminded ourselves that if we're not exciting about sharing it, our audience won't be excited to read it 😊

#LockdownLove Series: An Integrated Brand Campaign by The Mighty and The Mercy 🖤 All marketing is brand marketing 🔗 In 2020, we launched #LockdownLove, a campaign that transformed a difficult time into a celebration of resilience and self-connection. Created from concept to execution by Giselle this campaign was about more than just storytelling—it was about bringing warmth and community to this message of self love that continues to change in 2024. Shot during Lockdown through laptops by @xx_niquita_xx, this was creative highlight during a particularly slow and lacklustre time. As an integrated brand campaign, #LockdownLove brought together creativity and thoughtful engagement. Every element, from visual storytelling to strategic messaging, was designed to resonate deeply and authentically with the campaign featuring on national television after its launch. At MM, this is what we’re about crafting campaigns that feel real and make a lasting impact. We love to let the creatives do the talking when it comes to content marketing.

Benefits of In-Branding in Films for Brands. In-film branding, or product placement, has become a powerful marketing tool for brands looking to reach wider and more engaged audiences. By integrating products or services naturally into a movie’s storyline, brands can leverage the emotional connection between viewers and the film, gaining subtle yet impactful visibility. Here are some key benefits of in-film branding: 1. Increased Brand Exposure: Films have a global reach, and in-film branding allows companies to expose their products to large, diverse audiences, often across multiple countries and platforms. 2. Organic Integration: Unlike traditional advertisements, in-film branding seamlessly incorporates a product into the narrative, making the brand appear as part of the story rather than a direct marketing effort, leading to more authentic engagement. 3. Emotional Connection: Viewers often connect emotionally with characters, plots, or settings in films. Associating your brand with these elements can create a strong, positive association, increasing the brand's relatability and recall value. 4. Longevity and Repeated Exposure: Films are timeless and often rewatched, giving brands extended exposure long after the movie has been released in theaters. As movies circulate across various platforms like TV, streaming services, and DVD, brands enjoy long-lasting visibility. 5. Targeted Reach: Brands can strategically align themselves with movies that reflect their target audience, enhancing relevance and strengthening the impact of the placement. 6. Cost-Effective Marketing: In many cases, in-film branding can be more cost-effective than traditional advertising, offering extended reach and engagement with fewer costs associated with ad production and placement. In-film branding is not just about visibility—it’s about embedding your brand into the cultural conversation, making it a part of the viewer’s experience. It’s a strategic way to engage audiences in a meaningful and lasting way. If you're interested to showcase your brand in films, then what are you waiting for ?
