Branded Content: Por que é a prática do futuro?

brandedcontent.jpg

Entendemos por Branded Content a prática por vincular conteúdos a uma marca (e vice-versa). Uma forma sutil e criativa de cultivar laços entre uma marca e o consumidor.

Não é nenhum segredo que, com a evolução digital, muitas marcas aproveitaram o espaço livre e democrático da internet para espalhar a sua mensagem, dar conselhos e até mesmo medir a reação dos consumidores. Mas em 2009 foi feito ainda mais com Branded Content. Vimos vários exemplos aqui no ADivertido, e segundo o último relatório do Custom Publishing Council (CPC), os gastos com Branded Content duplicaram em 2009.

Falando de Estados Unidos, o gasto total com Branded Content foi, em média, US$ 1,8 milhões por empresa. Pouco mais da metade (51%) foi investido em publicações impressas, 27% em internet e quase 1/4 (22%) em televisão e rádio. A estimativa é que, em 2010, quase 60% das marcas devem duplicar os números de 2009.

O estudo também constatou que:

  • 61% das marcas acreditam que o Branded Content é “mais eficaz” que a mala direta.
  • Um pouco mais da metade (54%) usam o Branded Content para educar os consumidores.
  • As marcas destinaram quase um terço (32%) dos orçamentos em Branded Content.
  • 24% pretendem aumentar os gastos de conteúdo de marca em 2010.
  • 78% dos entrevistados relataram que o Branded Content é mais eficaz do que a própria publicidade.

Estes dados mostram um crescimento substancial desta disciplina. Por quê? Você só precisa refletir sobre o comportamento do consumidor de hoje e entender que ele não quer mais ser incomodado com mensagens interruptivas, por isso opta por um conteúdo mais pertinente e que, em muitas vezes, pode ser assinado por alguma marca. Só depende da agência e do anunciante na hora de interpretar no briefing a demanda por algum tipo de conteúdo capaz de reter a atenção do target. No mais, a criatividade continua sendo o maior e principal ingrediente.

Sendo assim, vou continuar monitorando aquilo que virá com tudo em 2010.
