MAKE YOUR CONTENT PRICELESS
ONLY THEN WILL THE MARKETING BE EFFECTIVE
@AdamBroitman
I am sure all of you are aware of the priceless campaign. Today I am going to tell you a bit about how an iconic brand leveraged the most succesful campaign ever to tell stories and activate experiences
How many people have heard of our campaign, Priceless? How many people realize the campaign was created in 1997, putting it in it’s 17th year.
At the time the campaign was created, social media was not a term people used, not even Friendster was on the market. But I like to think of The Priceless Campaign as one of the first social media campaigns given it’s conversational tone. The original spots presented a very familiar scenario and invited people to share their version of Priceless.
How many people know the tag line here? Shout it out.
The question is, is this content marketing?
I suppose not as, at that time, that was not the buzz phrase du jour
Since that time we have taken our marketing from simply observing priceless to enabling it through priceless experiences. Part of that is on our Priceless Cities platform where we have one of a kind experiences. But we also wanted to create content that enabled priceless experiences
And as that platform develops, content is playing an increasingly important role—so we get to the topic of content marketing
This term is packed with two masters—often, one is at odds with the other
This is one master---storytelling, or content. People love great content.
This is the other, great marketing. People put up with great marketing, and sometimes they love it
But put the two together and you have a conflict of interests
With this conflict of interest, how does a brand approach content? Well, it is actually a simple formula. It is the very same way anyone else approaches content creation. Tell great stories.
I don’t care how scientific your research is and how “optimized” your content is—the human heart does not care about these things
Great is defined as telling a story people want to hear. If you want a sure fire way to tell a story people want to hear, tell a story they have already started
A similar formula to priceless was used, this time we were in the social age and rather than asking people what was Priceless to them, we listened to what they were already talking about and amplified it
We wrote this homage as our north star to for this initiative. It guides our editors and writers and gives our content purpose beyond simply serving the commercial interests of MasterCard.
