Transmedia communication campaigns have become a fundamental strategy to capture the interest of a wide range of audiences. Their objective is based on the power of telling stories through different channels and formats that, independently, have a meaning of their own, but that together provide an overall experience.
In this week's post we tell you how, from Communication Agencies, we make these campaigns really effective.
Transmedia communication campaigns are those that develop a narrative The coherent storytelling is enriched through content available on multiple platforms. Each channel brings something unique to the story, leveraging the strengths of that format to connect with different audience segments. For example, a campaign might include a short film as the main piece, complemented by exclusive social media content, a podcast and an interactive experience in a physical space.
