Branded Content & Entertainment: Relationship and brand lift

11 January 2019

Branded content & entertainment is perceived by the consumer-viewer as a reward from which to benefit (even if the reward is “only” entertainment) rather than an interruption of an activity. This is how brands create the sense of gift giving: thanks to a clear and unambiguous identification of the brand (the consumer knows exactly who the “giver” is), the content acquires a meaning (the consumer knows what the brand is giving them and why). The goal is creating a win-win relation between the brand and consumers.

Branded Content & Entertainment Impacts the Brand in 2 Ways: Relationship and Brand Lift.

Relationship: Within a content marketing strategy, the content created by a brand has an inherent value that is difficult to ignore because it gives a sense of the experience in itself: it requires involvement, and attention, as opposed to traditional forms of communication (eg.: commercials) that follow the interruption-repeat model (which are within breaks in the flow, they are not the flow in itself).

Brand lift: The content strategy’s final goal is to strengthen the brand awareness and recall and to improve the attitude towards the brand, especially when its values link with the symbolic and evocative dimension of the narrative.

A branded content & entertainment strategy is usually pursued to change the behavior of the consumer who is enticed to inquire about the brand, to test the product (intent/likelihood to purchase), and to suggest the purchase (favorability/likelihood to recommend).

Since you’re here…
Our mission is to monitor Advertising to make certain that companies obey ethical standards of trustworthiness and transparency while communicating their commitment to addressing the great challenges of the New Millennium. From climate emergency to social inequality through all the issues included in the Sustainable Development Goals Agenda, we monitor the consistency of their statements, if they are ‘walking the talk’. With rising misinformation and commercial ownership, independent information is more and more rare. We think citizens deserve access to accurate analyses with integrity at their heart, so we can all make critical decisions about our lives, health and enviroment – based on fact, not fiction.
Our editorial independence means our content agenda is set only to voice our opinions, supported by in-depth research, free from any political and commercial bias, never influenced by interested owners or shareholders (which we don’t have). It means we can stand up to mainstream and give a voice to those less heard. We hope this will motivate you to make a contribution in support of our open, independent journalism. Every reader contribution, however big or small, is so valuable. Support BeIntelligent from as little as €5 – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.

I have been dealing with communication for 20 years, I have worked in marketing for large international and Italian companies and I know the mechanisms of advertising persuasion. I decided to invest my know-how and my skills to use the available resources of companies (budgets but also human capital) in positive transformation. Because to students from all over the world I teach at Purpose Brands in Catholic University I wish to give more and more examples of virtuous companies that have invested for the future, of everyone (and there are already many!). Because if we watch, without acting, without taking responsibility, we have no excuse.
