FROM PROMOTION TO EDUCATION

From Promoting to Education

• Today’s consumer demands education over promotion

• They favor problem solving content over marketing messages

• Content should be TALK-worthy, relevant & timely

John Deere understood the value of

education over promotional messages as

early as 1895. His 118 year journal, The

Furrow, still educates farmers on

agriculture and new technology*

FROM EDUCATION TO EMOTION

From PROMOTION to EDUCATION to

EMOTIONAL CONNECTION

• Audiences want to be informed, educated,

entertained or inspired on social channels

• For content to be prepped for social channels,

it needs to be emotionally amplified

“…Anyone who tries to make a distinction between

education and entertainment doesn’t know the first thing

about either…”

Wilbur, was portrayed as a big klutz who inadvertently caused harm

around him. Recognizing Mr. Ed’s animal inferiority, we likely laughed at

the perceptual discord created by a horse making wiser choices than his

care taker.

his naïve partner, Gomer Pyle. Barnie was oblivious to his idiosyncrasies

and quirky nature. Seeing himself as a high standing citizen, we often

laughed hysterically at his gullibility and delusions of grandeur.

In the sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond, Robert and Ray Barone often

found themselves in a sticky situation. Both were prone to engaging their

mouths before their brains as regretful statements and actions put them in

the dog house. We laughed, for example, when Ray was forced to choose

between ingratiating his wife or his dominating mother

3 TYPES OF “AROUSAL/SAFETY” MAKE TOP 15

• Relief Theory of Humor

• Humor that works on the physical senses

• Provides an escape or relief from a form of constraint

• We laugh when we release repressions (“Ahh!”)• Letting loose of our inhibitions

• Unleashing our aggressions

• We laugh when relieved to find a dangerous situation

is safe

• 3 Types of Arousal/Safety

• Unruliness

• Social Order Deviancy

• Sentimental Humor

The 3 Stooges were known for their physical farce and extreme slapstick.

Known as Moe, Larry and Curly, their successful comedies included bouts of

face slapping, society defiance and childlike innocence. At the root of their

humor is a desire among many of us to let loose of our inhibitions with

aggressive outbursts and unbridled naughtiness.

UNRULINESS

bellowing, short-tempered Ralph Kramden who would easily spin

out of control. Audiences laughed at his infamous “BANG, ZOOM!

Straight to the Moon!” The Relief Theory would attribute these fits

of laughter to our own desires to let out steam.

• Offensive Behaviors

• Unleashed ManiaIn the 1960’s sitcom, “The Beverly Hillbillies,” Jed Clampett and his poor backwoods family

transplanted to Beverly Hills, California, after striking oil on their land. In the series, audiences

laugh hysterically as the rags to riches family unknowingly mocks the posturing of high society

by retaining their hillbilly lifestyle in a luxurious Hollywood house. Being exploited by rich

bankers, the Clampetts often come out ahead with their provincial wisdom. In effect, they put

high society in their place.

Imagery in Social Media

Visual Marketing

“..Visual marketing has always been important to brands, but with the rise of Pinterest, Tumblr

and Instagram, visual marketing has taken on a life of its own. That’s because images drive

engagement, and engagement is central to the future of online marketing.

Because of the importance of Pinterest in driving web traffic, images have to stand alone – they

won’t necessarily be shared with their accompanying text, so marketers will have to think of

images as a complete concept to be shared organically.

User-generated visuals will also be an important part of brands’ engagement of their fans, thanks

to Instagram, Facebook’s incorporation of hashtags and Twitter’s visual changes: fans can tag a

photo of themselves and share it across multiple platforms, giving a real 360-degree approach to

marketing…”
