Learn how to get started with branded content, what good looks like, and how to make a lasting impression with consumers
Branded content is everywhere. In ad-funded programming, dynamic ad banners, tailored commerce assets, and more.
In fact, by 2026, forecasts suggest brands will be spending as much as a billion dollars in this space.
But why all the attention? What are benefits of investing in branded content? How do you get started? And how do you get it right?
In ‘Conquering Branded Content’, the first episode in The Shift Sessions, Pollyanna Ward, Social Account Director at PHD, and Luke Southern, CEO of DRUM, Omnicom’s branded content and entertainment agency, discuss:
- Why there’s never been a better time to invest in branded content
- How to design an effective branded content strategy (and what makes content ‘stick’).
- How to maximise returns on investment when working with ‘Branded Content Orchestrators’
As Southern explains: “As a brand, your competition today isn’t just commercial. You’re competing with culture, entertainment, music, fashion, and sport. The fight for attention is massive, but that’s where branded content can help. Because, when done right, branded content has the power to engage audiences, build connections, and create associations that last.”
