Tent-Pole versus Derivative Content
Tent-Pole = the steak• Longer form, deeper engagement
• More time/commitment to produce
• More time/commitment to consume
• Client investment means it has to deliver a LOT of value
Derivative = the parts• Shorter form for different
channels —cast a wider net
• Efficient to produce
• Taste test for your targets – are they interested in learning more?

Mobile and social are where you will first engage
• Mobile engagement is strong and growing
