Campaign Online Briefing: Cross-platform content – how to do it right
Date: Wednesday | September 15, 2021
This webinar highlighted how content should live on different platforms and how to utilise it for best outcomes – taking into consideration audience behaviour. Webinar speakers shared their tips on how advertisers can capitalise on cross-platform content, from a client and agency point of view.
Gone are the days of a brand’s campaigns living in silos. Above-the-line, digital, events, PR and all other aspects of branding and communications now need to live together. They need to both work together and play to their individual strengths. And that can be a delicate balancing act for marketers.
Campaign’s Cross platform cotent webinar took a close look at cross-platform content, at how media companies break up, repackaged and rethink their content and how advertisers can do the same to make the most of the media channels available to them and fit comfortable alongside cross-platform media content.
Our panel of experts asked how consumers differ across platforms. How do their demographics, their consumption habits, their intentions and their states of mind change as they move between platforms?
And what does this mean for marketing? Where do long ads work better than a short one? Where do brand-building ads work better than performance tactics? How do you make sure your brand’s presence across platforms is consistent, yet plays to the strengths of each media channel?
2:00 – 2:45 pm – Panel 1: Across the board: The right content on the right platform
In the first panel, experts discussed how top programming – from sports coverage to reality shows – lives across multiple platforms. Our panel looks at how consumers’ habits and expectations change according to where they are, how content providers adapt their offerings accordingly, and how marketers can make the most of the many options available to them.

2:45 – 3:30 pm – Panel 2: Doing it right – cross-platform best practice
In our second panel, a popular advertising professor presented a case study of cross-platform marketing – and subjects it to critique by agencies and a client. What do they think worked? What do they disagree with? How would they do it different, and what examples do they have of times they got it spot on? Join us for a lesson in constructive criticism and how to look at work from all angles to make it as good as it can be. (And keep your fingers crossed it’s not your campaign being put under the microscope.)
