Ally and I sit down with Ilana Gelfand, Senior Manager, Global Social Strategy at Disney Consumer Products. With 12+ years of experience in marketing and social media, Ilana has led creative content and brand strategy for some of the world's most popular brands, including Disney and Loungefly. We discuss Ilana's illustrious career in selling a lifestyle over a product and how the organic positioning of that lifestyle is the unlock to greater audience connection. We walk through how to drive authenticity within your brand's consumers through nostalgia, self-expression and niche fandoms.Key Takeaways:// To sell a lifestyle instead of a product - identify your target audience, learn how they want to be seen and align your messaging to how they want to be spoken to.// Build nostalgia for your brand by referencing the past and finding fresh ways to incorporate it in the present.// When choosing influencers for a campaign, consider lookalike influencers that may have various crossover interests that align with the campaign look and feel.// Brands are currently underutilizing Pinterest - Gen Z is using Pinterest as a creative outlet and opportunity to build an individual user world.Connect with Ilana: LinkedIn | Instagram____Say hi!

Just when you thought the bulging TV, BVOD, streaming and video sector had peaked with too many consumer and advertiser choices, along comes the no-subscription, ad-supported international streamer Tubi with 100 million global viewers dominated by a younger set binging TV shows like the 30 year-old Friends and creating new genre “rabbit holes” like horror and Bollywood ‘vertical fandoms’. To boot, half of Tubi’s 1.3 million younger skewing monthly Australian viewers are regularly missing on most of the international streaming and local BVOD services. Seventy per cent of Tubi’s local viewers, for instance, don’t watch 10Play; 59 per cent are not clocking 7Plus and 53 per cent are avoiding Amazon’s Prime juggernaut. Although it’s commissioning originals globally, mostly to top-up the voracious appetite of the younger set diving into the back catalogues of horror, true crime and old hit shows like Friends, Grey’s Anatomy and Lost, Tubi International’s Executive Vice President and Managing Director, David Salmon, says TV and video are on an “interesting parallel” to music consumption – old is still good and big. “This idea of recency [new titles] not being the only thing that drives value in a viewer’s mind is similar to music not being defined by the latest album being released,” Salmon says. “Yes, people are viewing new releases but it is not actually driving the bulk of engagement on streaming platforms. Instead it’s evergreen, comfort viewing, nostalgic viewing and deep and narrow interests.” And it’s a global phenomenon – Salmon cites Digital i’s top 10 most streamed titles across the major global platforms in the second half of 2024 – six of the top ten were “actually more than 20 years old and rather staggeringly it also includes Friends, now more than 30 years old. Consumers are going deeper and going further back and that’s where they’re choosing to spend their time.” For Pippa Leary, News Australia’s Managing Director & Publisher for Free News and Lifestyle, Tubi completes an “All Screens, All Day” line-up blending news and lifestyle publishing with video across all day parts and demographics. Before Tubi’s arrival, the rapidly reinventing news publisher had already created a “small and medium-sized video ecosystem” which topped 1 billion video views from 5 million users – in the past 12 months video views have surged 85 per cent as the publisher cracked how to bring stories across its news and magazine titles together with video to the same user via vertical and shoppable video formats. News’ massive investment in data and segmentation capabilities for full funnel targeting credentials – it has 3000 audience segments across the portfolio – still needed the big TV screen to round it out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kat Jones, Founder of Motiv, shares her expertise in working with fandoms. She emphasizes the importance of securing media coverage that resonates with specific audiences. She highlights the powerful impact of collaborating with creators. She also talks about the values that keep fanbases connected.

In this episode of School of Pop, we're diving into the psychology behind competitive fans. From chart battles and fandom feuds to internal hierarchies and stan wars, we're looking to understand: Why do fans get so emotionally invested in wins and losses that don't directly affect them? Why is sports fandom celebrated while pop fandom is mocked? And what happens when fan spaces become less about community and more about proving you're the best?Dr. Courtney Plante, a social psychologist and professor at Bishop's University, joins the class to break it all down. With over a decade of research on media and fan culture, including fandoms like My Little Pony, anime, and furries, Dr. Plante helps us explore what makes competition in fandoms so common, and what it says about how we connect today.Follow School of Pop: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schoolofpophq/Class Notes: ⁠⁠https://schoolofpop.substack.com⁠⁠Pop Recap: ⁠⁠https://poprecap.beehiiv.com⁠

May has a lineup of fun fandom holidays, and we are taking advantage of the fun this weekend. Producer KellieAnn is joined again by Jonathan Trujillo King of the Utah Arts Alliance, and new nerdly friend Roger Prows, co-owner of The Nerd Store(s).  Together, they discuss their involvement in the local comic, artistic, and pop culture world. Roger expands on the history of Free Comic Book Day, while Jonathan provides the details of Star Wars Day's impact.  All three will be seen celebrating both holidays this weekend in downtown Salt Lake City (with the support and displays of our friends at FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention): The Urban Arts Gallery will have their local-artist-contributed Star Wars exhibit, Clark Planetarium will have some galactic photo opportunities with cosplayers, Dr.  Volt’s Comic Connection will have comic giveaways and many local comic creators, our FanX Hall of Fame Cosplayer friends will have a cosplay competition, there will be a Star Wars Dance party by the Utah Arts Alliance and much more more!  The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.  Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.  Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSLNewsRadio App. Join the conversation on Facebook @FanEffectShow, or Instagram @FanEffectShow.

This week the crew gets drunk on sangrias/vodka while talking about different reboots, remakes that we think should or shouldn't happen, and what media would work in other forms? Tezeta deals with fire alarms, Jake goes off about Power Rangers, Devin makes a lot of Drake Bell sexual predator jokes. You know what to do

The discussion centers around the profound significance of representation, particularly focusing on works by Black women authors within the realms of magic and fantasy. We delve into the cultural impact of series such as Wednesday Season 2, where the titular character navigates a world laced with dark humor and supernatural elements. Additionally, we explore the intriguing premise of Heads of State, featuring John Cena as President and Idris Elba as Prime Minister, juxtaposing comedic elements within a political framework. The conversation further extends to the Predator franchise, contemplating the chilling imagery presented in the Predator: Badlands trailer, where iconic trophies like The Engineer skulls and Kaiju references evoke a rich tapestry of intertextuality. Throughout our dialogue, we emphasize the importance of diverse narratives and the necessity of elevating underrepresented voices in speculative fiction.New Episode Alert!Blerd's Eyeview x Andrea Rose WashingtonThis week, we've got magic, monsters, and mayhem all in one episode!

The upcoming second season of Wednesday promises to explore deeper themes and character development. The casting of John Cena and Idris Elba in Heads of State presents a unique blend of comedy and political satire. The Predator: Badlands trailer showcases intriguing elements, including Kaiju-like creatures and significant trophies like The Engineer skulls. The exploration of the Alien and Predator franchises continues to evolve, introducing new story arcs and character dynamics. The integration of humor and action in upcoming films highlights the growing trend of blending genres for broader appeal.

Most of us can say that we're fans of something – music, sports, art, books. But what does it mean to be part of a fandom? You've probably seen devoted super fans participating in cos play at Comic-Con, painted in their team's color at a football game or dressed up as their favorite characters at a midnight screening of a film series. But is there something deeper than just fun at play here? Something that aligns more with religion or even sacredness? That's the argument of sociologist Michael Elliott, a professor at Towson University who has studied the culture of Comic-Con for 7 years. Elliott joins The Excerpt to share the results of his deep research into fandoms.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're so thankful that you are fans of us, especially on this, our fourth podcasting journey into the mouth of Nerdom where we dare ask "Can a fandom ruin a thing?" Perhaps Rick and Morty is a good enough show to overcome the bittersweet Szechuan rage of it's fans. Maybe Swifties do swiftly make some of us reconsider listening to any pop star. And yeah, we reckon with our thoughts on the Punisher. Don't worry, we keep it find funny and find some positives, but yeah, at times things get uglier than Sonic's teeth.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

This month's episode is a sort of follow-up to that from the start of the year, looking at some of the more problematic areas of dinosaurs and palaeontology when it comes to online discussions. There is an online fandom of dinosaurs that treats them like monsters or superheroes, and can fixate on what is and isn't the biggest / strongest / fastest dinosaur and who could beat up who. Joining us to discuss this is Dr Mike O'Sullivan, a palaeontologist and self-professed member of several fandoms. We talk about how this community works and what it means for scientists talking about research.   Links: Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/terriblelizards   Mike is part of Palaeogames, a company of professional palaeontologists making accurate books and games: https://palaeogames.com/   And here's their latest Kickstarter, a Dungeons & Dragons companion book: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/palaeogames/professor-primulas-portfolio-of-palaeontology
