the visual content explosion 2013
DESCRIPTION
Visual content is the centerpiece of your brand's world across online paid, owned, networked and borrowed media. In this briefing I explored the importance of using visual content to capture user attention, add value to a consumer’s relationship with a brand and drive earned media. I also covered off the visual content toolkit for marketers, explored visual storytelling and showed some examples of visual content I've developed with the team.TRANSCRIPT

Considerations
IP and rights - what images/content you can or cannot use
Reality check for brands (across ALL platforms):
Even if platform terms allow you an implied licence to use content, will individuals complain about commercial exploitation?
Be wary of editing, not crediting, overlaying with brand IP
What if the third party content itself infringes IP?
A brand is FAR more likely to be sued than an individual for infringing content
How far you should go in using 3rd party IP depends on context
Remember image rights are not the same as copyright – nothing in the platform terms gives you permission from the individuals featured in an image or video. This requires individual consent
