ESPN’s ‘Quiet Triumph of Storytelling’ a Bold Celebration


ESPN's "30 for 30" sports documentary series is as ambitious an undertaking as anything the network has ever attempted. Hell, it might be one of the most ambitious projects in the history of TV. Set to coincide with the network's 30th year on the air, the series tasks 30 filmmakers with 30 documentaries on a range of sports-related topics from the last 30 years, giving them access to the extensive ABC/ESPN library of footage. As a result, the "30 for 30" project comes across less as a look-at-us! celebration of the network's omnipresence than as a quiet triumph of storytelling.

Magazine Industry Looks to Create ITunes for Print

How to Mobilize Your Social Media

As the iPhone's effect on YouTube uploads has shown, there is an inseparable link between social media and mobile devices. So why aren't more marketers noticing?

Goodby’s Poem House or What Happened to Sign Painters

image1fullHis name is synonymous with advertising genius. Got Milk? That’s his. There Can Only Be One. That’s also him. Now, Jeff Goodby backs Pepsi. He’s also launching an online “Twitter-centered” campaign. To all the advertising geeks reading this, if there was any doubt in your mind about going digital, then let this be your reassurance. If this man is doing it, you damn well better.

In times like these, we need a quote from the man himself. “I like big fonts,” Goodby said.

He’s obviously referring to his 117 year-old Victorian house. That’s really the topic here. Goodby has inspirational and evocative words painted on the outside and inside of his house, words that evoke what takes place inside.

It’s this house that seems to have played a part in Goodby’s digital switch. See, he needed someone to paint the words on the house, and it was done digitally. Upon completion, Goodby created a Web site: www.poemhouse.org and promoted it on Facebook. The rest, needless to say, was history. Once captured by the blogging fanatics, publicity instantly ensued: Tweets, re-tweets, traffic, publications, you name it.

If this is not a prime example of digital prosperity, then I don’t know what is. This small event exemplifies the marketing shift occurring today. The shift that more agencies, like Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, have adapted should be adapted elsewhere. The key here is versatility. The new wave of advertising professionals are versatile (like me!! ):  They take classic technique and weave in a digital mind-set. They are more marketable and more valuable. Now, if more could firms could see that value, maybe we could even afford to live off of it.
