			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>we have a new piece of wall art in the Origin Whistler studio.</p>
<p><a href="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/barn-doors.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5110" title="barn doors" src="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/barn-doors.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="960" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8230;the goal of which is to torment the creatives with the promise that, if they get their work done on deadline, they will be let out to play.</p>
<p>But seriously. The wood came from an old Pemberton barn that was built by an immigrant gunsmith from Uruguay in 1946. It sat on the corner of the artisan&#8217;s property until recently, apparently hiding a bad-ass rifle collection that has mysteriously disappeared&#8230;</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://www.elainerempel.com/index.html" target="_blank">Elaine Rempel Design</a>, Ars Lignea Woodworking and to our designers, who masquerade as interior decorating consultants when it&#8217;s quiet. (And to Jenny, who keeps us organised, hand-framed all the other new art acquisitions, makes sure we don&#8217;t run out of coffee, and takes photos when blog posts need them.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ViagraVideo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4909" title="ViagraVideo" src="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ViagraVideo.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="224" /></a><strong>Demand for video is up</strong> (from consumers, brands, marketing departments and the C-suite).  But creating a good video/piece of digital content is resource intensive. So what should you be thinking about, before you hit the record button, to make sure you maximize your ROI?</p>
<p>The aim of <a href="http://www.ted.com/initiatives/aws">TED’s Ads Worth Spreading</a> is to encourage a shift away from “ambushing people’s attention by shoving videos down their throat, and instead to ask them to view by invitation.”</p>
<p>The snow industry has been doing this for decades with ski and snowboard movies. The ultimate branded content, shred films’ traditional MO of capitalizing on pre-season anticipation and hosting screenings and premieres, dialed the invite-and-engage model.</p>
<p>But in today’s SoMoLo world (social, mobile, local), an annual feature film is not enough of a content strategy. Demand for content is constant now, but budgets haven’t kept up.</p>
<p>The solution? Short of finding a formula or quick fix magic wand (send us the SKU and we’ll order one too,) there are some fundamentals to laying down a smart digital marketing strategy.</p>
<p><strong>1.	Wizard photography does not a filmmaker make.</strong> Just because your superstar staff photographer has a digital SLR, doesn&#8217;t mean he can capture a story arc, or single-handedly creative direct a video while simultaneously shooting your catalogue. When you ask her to shoot video and photography at the same time, your most likely deliverable is disappointment, in the shape of sub-standard versions of both.</p>
<p>Video and photography are different mediums: a photographer is more likely to compose a still shot, whereas, someone trained in film looks for movement. Video is about a sequence of events – traditionally with a beginning, a middle and an end. A photo captures a moment. Photography is powerful because it&#8217;s stripped bare. Video is powerful because it&#8217;s layered: Music. Action. Script.</p>
<p>Doing things well means choosing what not to do, choosing what to leave out. That’s why marketing briefs are always trying to distill things down to “The Point”. What’s your point? What’s the single most important deliverable from a shoot? Pick the medium that will serve it best.</p>
<p><strong>2.	Be clear on whether a video is tactical or inspirational.</strong> <a href="http://www.contentmarketinginstitute.com/2012/01/reduce-your-video-content-budget/">The Content Marketing Institute </a>suggests segmenting your video needs into three tiers, to help allocate your budget.</p>
<p>Inspirational or showpiece videos need to be more timeless and warrant higher production budgets. Tactical pieces will have a shorter shelf-life and warrant a different treatment.</p>
<p>Mike Douglas of <a href="http://www.switchbackentertainment.com/">Switchback Entertainment</a> talks of hot, warm and cold content.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Events become dated very quickly. You can tell something was done three years ago because the tricks are all different. Events are what we call hot content. Most ski stuff that came out at the end of January was all around the X Games. There were masses of it. So anything real-time, you’ve got to get up fast. That’s why with Salomon Freeski TV we don’t cover events. We don’t want to be a hot content provider. At Switchback, we’re trying to build things, like XXS or First Timers, that will stand the test of time.”</p></blockquote>

<p><strong>3. Have a story. Let it out to breathe. </strong>For a more enduring video, have a story.  Behind the scenes with the bros, shot fast and loose, with the videographer cueing “hey, say something to the camera, man”, is not a story. It’s popcorn. It’s fast food with a short shelf life.</p>
<p>Last year, <a href="http://www.whistlerbike.com/elements/index.htm">Whistler Blackcomb Bike Park </a> did a great job of creating videos that aligned with the story of their print marketing campaign.</p>

<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/26444997">Elements of Perfection &#8211; Pt3 &#8211; Air</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/whistler">Whistler Blackcomb</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p>Why did the videos work so well they generated 30,000+ views each?</p>
<p>1.	Whistler Blackcomb had the confidence to relinquish a marketer’s traditional death grip on “key messaging.”<br />
2.	In part, this was because the videos totally integrated with the entire campaign, so tactical pieces could cover off key messaging, and let the inspirational pieces breathe. Video is a show as opposed to a tell medium. It works best when you trust your audience to “get” what you’re showing them… (Mountain biking is fun and freshly raked dirt makes my knees go wobbly. Yep. Got it. See you at the Whistler Mountain Bike Park.)<br />
3.	The music choices were killer.</p>
<p>Which brings us to:<br />
<strong>4. Don’t chintz on the music.</strong></p>
<p>When the first comment from the community is “what song is that please?” you know you’ve aced it.</p>
<p><strong>5. Embrace friends in high places and frictionless sharing.</strong></p>
<p>In the social world, sharing happens on two levels: the instant share (“I just saw the most hilarious/brilliant/inspiring thing, you’ve got to see it”), and the more calculated share (this content will show people who I am and what I’m about, “I want you to know this about me”.) Those two blur… but what isn’t fuzzy is this: no one is going to share a hardcore infomercial (unless it’s a spoof, that person is getting into a pyramid selling themselves and on the fast-track to alienating all their friends, or it features Zac Galifianakis (see spoof.))</p>
<p>Consider your portals. Viewers have a huge selection of content available and they are increasingly choosy – they’ll trust a portal, a curator, an athlete.  Align your brand with brands that also serve your niche – you’ll all enjoy a broadened reach.</p>
<p>So how to you get it out there? We’ll post our top 5 tactics on the blog next week.</p>
<p>As for all your other questions and conundrums like: <em>Is “intern cam” ever okay? What’s the contemporary version of a Video News Release and when should I use it? How do I make my CEO not sound like a robot in his next state of the union address? Did anyone actually think that Twitter Recruiting spoof video was funny? And Cats? Seriously? Do I need to get an office cat for our promo series?</em> tune into our blog for Film Club Fridays, where our resident expert weighs in.</p>

<strong><a href="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ViagraVideo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4940" title="ViagraVideo" src="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ViagraVideo.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="224" /></a>La demande pour les vidéos est à la hausse</strong> auprès des consommateurs, des marques, des départements marketing et des chefs des entreprises, mais la création d&#8217;un bon clip ou contenu numérique exige beaucoup de ressources. À quoi devez-vous penser avant d’appuyer sur le bouton d&#8217;enregistrement pour être sûr et certain de maximiser votre RCI (rendement du capital investi)?</p>
<p>L&#8217;objectif des <a href="http://www.ted.com/initiatives/aws">Ads Worth Spreading par TED (</a>Technology Entertainement Design) est de ne plus « gaver les gens de publicité/clip mais bien de les inviter à regarder les vidéos ».</p>
<p>L&#8217;industrie des sports d’hiver fait cela depuis des décennies avec des films de ski et de snowboard, jouant des extraits de clip, misant sur l’anticipation de la pré-saison, lançant des premières et des projections spéciales, toutes des stratégies qui entraînent un climat d’invitation.</p>
<p>Mais dans le monde SoMoLo (social, mobile, local) actuel, un long-métrage annuel ne suffit pas. Si la demande en contenu numérique est stable, les budgets n’ont pas suivi.</p>
<p>Même s’il n’existe pas de solution miracle ou de formule magique (si vous en trouvez une, partagez-la avec nous svp), il y a tout de même certains principes de base pour établir une stratégie de marketing numérique intelligente.</p>
<p><strong>1.	Une photographe hallucinant ne fait pas un cinéaste.</strong> Ce n’est pas parce que votre photographe vedette a un appareil photo SLR qu&#8217;il peut capturer l’angle narratif, ou encore tourner d&#8217;une main un clip vidéo tout en prenant des photos pour votre catalogue de l’autre. Lorsque vous lui demandez de tourner une vidéo et de photographier en même temps, vous risquez fort d’être déçu, car dans les deux cas le résultat sera sous les standards.</p>
<p>Le vidéo et la photographie sont deux médias différents : un photographe compose des scènes immobiles, alors qu’un vidéaste recherche le mouvement. La vidéo vise la séquence d&#8217;événements &#8211; habituellement avec un début, un milieu et une fin &#8211; tandis qu’une photo capture le moment. La photographie est puissante parce que minimaliste. La vidéo est forte parce qu&#8217;elle est complexe : la musique, les péripéties et le scénario.</p>
<p>Bien faire les choses signifie choisir ce qu’on ne fera pas, ce que l’on laissera de côté. C&#8217;est pourquoi nos briefs de marketing visent toujours à  saisir l’essentiel du « Message ». Quel est votre message? Quelle est la chose la plus importante qui doit être retenue de la séance de photo ou du tournage? Choisissez le média qui le rendra le mieux.</p>
<p><strong>2. 	Déterminez si le clip doit être source d’information ou d’inspiration.</strong> <a href="http://www.contentmarketinginstitute.com/2012/01/reduce-your-video-content-budget/">Le Content Marketing Institue</a> suggère la segmentation de votre vidéo en trois parties, pour mieux répartir votre budget.</p>
<p>Les clips plus inspirants doivent être intemporels ce qui justifie un plus gros budget de production. Pour ce qui est des vidéos plus informatifs, ils n’auront pas une longue durée de vie et ne nécessitent pas le même budget.</p>
<p>Mike Douglas de <a href="http://www.switchbackentertainment.com/">Switchback Entertainement</a> parle de contenus brûlant, chaud et froid.</p>
<blockquote><p>« Un évènement n’a pas une longue durée de vie. Il est facile de voir que quelque chose a été fait il y a trois ans parce que les acrobaties sont maintenant différentes. Les événements peuvent être qualifiés de contenus brûlants. La plupart des produits médiatiques reliés au ski sortis fin janvier tournent autour des X Games et il y en a eu des tonnes. Donc, si vous voulez quelque chose en temps réel, il faut agir rapidement. C&#8217;est pourquoi avec Salomon Freeski TV nous ne couvrons pas les événements. Nous ne voulons pas être un fournisseur de contenu brûlant. Chez Switchback, nous essayons de bâtir des choses, comme XXS ou First Timers, qui résisteront à l&#8217;épreuve du temps. »</p></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/34687342">Do You Remember Your First Time?</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/whistler">Whistler Blackcomb</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.<br />
<strong>3. 	Trouvez une histoire. Laissez respirer.</strong> Pour une vidéo qui dure, vous devez trouver une histoire. Le fait de filmer rapidement et négligemment les coulisses avec les chums avec en trame le vidéographe qui dit « Hey! Un mot pour la caméra! » n’est pas une histoire. C&#8217;est comme du pop-corn : léger et sans contenu. C&#8217;est de la restauration rapide avec une courte durée de vie.</p>
<p>L&#8217;an dernier, le <a href="http://www.whistlerbike.com/elements/index.htm">Whistler Blackomb Bike Park</a> a réussi à créer des vidéos qui s’harmonisaient avec l’histoire sur les pièces publicitaires imprimés.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="225" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=26444997&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=cc3333&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="225" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=26444997&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=cc3333&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/26444997">Elements of Perfection &#8211; Pt3 &#8211; Air</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/whistler">Whistler Blackcomb</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p>Qu’est-ce qui fait que les vidéos ont si bien fonctionné qu’elles ont généré plus de 30 000 visites?</p>
<p>1. Whistler Blackcomb a eu l’assurance nécessaire pour renoncer à l’emprise traditionnelle du pro du marketing sur les « messages clé »<br />
2. Parce qu’en partie, les vidéos s’harmonisaient avec la campagne, permettant aux pièces informatives de livrer les messages clé et laissant les pièces inspirantes vivre. Les clips sont un spectacle, pas un morceau d’information. Il est préférable de faire confiance à vos auditeurs et de les laisser comprendre le message&#8230; (du vélo de montagne, c’est cool, et de la terre fraîchement ratissée, ça me donne le goût. OK. J’ai compris. Rendez-vous à Whistler Mountain Bike Park.)<br />
3. Les choix musicaux étaient top.</p>
<p>Ce qui nous amène à :<br />
<strong>4. Ne sous-estimez pas le pouvoir de la musique.</strong></p>
<p>Lorsque le premier commentaire de la communauté est « De qui est cette chanson ? », vous savez que vous avez réussi.</p>
<p><strong>5. Pensez aux amis bien placés et partagez avec transparence.</strong></p>
<p>Dans le monde social, le partage se passe sur deux niveaux : le partage immédiat (« Je viens de voir la chose la plus hilarante/brillante/inspirante, tu dois voir ça! »), et le partage plus réfléchi (ceci va montrer aux gens qui je suis et ce que j’aime : « Je veux que vous sachiez cela à propos de moi »). Ces deux types de partage peuvent s’entremêler&#8230; mais ce qui est sûr et certain c’est que personne ne va partager une infopub abrutissante (sauf s&#8217;il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;une parodie, ou que la personne ne veuille se vendre et est sur le point d’aliéner tous ses amis, ou encore que le vidéo met en vedette Zac Galifianakis [voir parodie]).</p>
<p>Pensez à vos portails. Les spectateurs ont un choix énorme de contenus et ils sont de plus en plus exigeants &#8211; ils font confiance aux portails, aux conservateurs et aux athlètes. Alignez votre marque avec des marques qui visent le même créneau &#8211; vous bénéficierez d’une plus grande portée.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/WouldYouDoIt.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4887" title="WouldYouDoIt" src="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/WouldYouDoIt.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="120" /></a><strong> Truism 1: Word of Mouth has always been at the heart of business growth.</strong></p>
<p>People trust recommendations from their friends, friends of friends, or other consumers, almost six times more than they trust brands and traditional advertisements.</p>
<p><strong>Truism 2: Social Media is word of mouth on steroids.</strong></p>
<p>If you can create a buzzworthy destination marketing campaign that is profoundly shareable, your community will do the marketing for you.</p>
<p><strong>Case study:</strong> <strong><em><a href="http://wouldyoudoit.whistler.com/">The Whistler Sabbatical Project</a> </em></strong>for Tourism Whistler, a showcase of a community’s passions told in 15 video challenges. The vignettes ran weekly from November to January, and featured unique Whistler experiences, from champagne sabering to steeps skiing to go-go dancing to ziptrekking in the dark, through the passion of Whistler personalities, award-winning chefs, gold medalist athletes, Olympic coaches, and mountain climbers. They engaged viewers throughout Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.</p>
<p><strong>The benefit to the consumer:</strong> a dose of inspiration was delivered straight to their in-box, offering a chance to self-identify as daring/adventurous/curious/experienced/willing. Each viewing provided the consumer a chance to win an all expenses paid month long sabbatical in Whistler. In addition, each video was easily shared and commented on via twitter, facebook and email buttons.</p>
<p><strong>The benefit for the client:</strong> member-spotlighting stories identified the destination as a place full of passionate people who provide opportunities for visitors to have the time of their lives especially if they take a sabbatical in Whistler.</p>
<p><strong>The results:</strong> Over 15 weeks, the campaign saw tens of thousands of video views, generated 13,000 contest entries, and sizably boosted the resort’s social media engagement. GoWhistler’s facebook following almost doubled to 17,000, facebook interactions increase by 123% and twitter followers boosted to almost 9000.</p>
<p>Almost 40% of traffic to <a href="http://wouldyoudoit.whistler.com/">wouldyoudoit.com</a>, the campaign’s microsite, came from the campaign marketing efforts through traditional marketing tools, over a third came from email campaigns, and the remaining quarter came from social media and third party referrals.</p>
<p>In concert with excellent snow conditions, this resulted in record levels of resort visitation in both December and January.</p>
<p>So, if you’re developing a creative platform with aspirations of going viral, boosting engagement, or developing a high rate of referrals, test it against this Fit to Share checklist, developed for the Whistler Sabbatical Project.</p>
<p><strong>Checklist: Will your concept go the extra mile? Is your campaign idea fit for word of mouth sharing?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Does it put a face to the organization? Does it make the brand more relatable?</li>
</ul>
<p>The Whistler Sabbatical Project was positioned, for the first time in the history of the organization, as “an initiative of Tourism Whistler and its more than 6,500 members, created as a means for sharing the passion for the mountains that defines this place.” The members stepped up to share their stories. Not as salespeople or spindoctors, but as people with unique passions to share.</p>
<ul>
<li> Does the “big idea” encapsulate a simple story about the brand that everyone can easily grasp?</li>
</ul>
<p>The big idea was that everyone who works in Whistler is driven by a particular passion that they want to share. That, and not just the physical scale of the place, creates a destination that measures up to meet whatever fantasy, expectation or desire a consumer could have.</p>
<ul>
<li> Does the content have the potential to become a story?</li>
</ul>
<p>Every video vignette was like a story seed, spinning off other content in blogs, interviews, advertorial, and media editorial. The bigger story, about winning a month-long sabbatical in Whistler and a chance to experience all these things, also resonated in traditional media channels.</p>
<ul>
<li> Is there a hole for the consumer to get in?</li>
</ul>
<p>“Would you do it?” was the campaign tagline. Would you unplug from your everyday life and take a month-long Sabbatical in Whistler? Would you saber champagne? Would you ski a run called Dead on Arrival? Would you dance in your ski boots until midnight?</p>
<ul>
<li> Is your content frictionless? Is it in the right size and format, and supported by social sharing buttons, to make it easy to share?</li>
</ul>
<p>Sharing and commenting was enabled through facebook and twitter, where Tourism Whistler’s social media team welcomed the engagement and nurtured a spirit of community.</p>
<ul>
<li> Is it people-centric?</li>
</ul>
<p>The campaign was never about selling products, experiences, room-nights. It was about sharing the idea of a place that people come to, to push their personal envelopes and come away recharged and revitalized. From the community members to the organisation’s members, the Sabbatical Project was all about the people.</p>
<ul>
<li> Is it entertaining? Out-of-the-ordinary? Insightful? Does it challenge conventional wisdom?</li>
</ul>
<p>People want to appear savvy when they’re sharing. By encapsulating the Sabbatical vignettes in micro-dares: would you go-go dance on a speaker? Been there, done that. &#8211; people were able to share something about themselves with their own social networks, while they were sharing Tourism Whistler content.</p>
<ul>
<li> Is it part of a larger, integrated campaign?</li>
</ul>
<p>Every piece of great content can use a little push.</p>
<ul>
<li> Does the product, the actual experience of coming to Whistler, deliver on the promise?</li>
</ul>
<p>If so, then your social mobile visitors will post up a storm about their incredible experience, and keep the circle turning.</p>

<strong><a href="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/WouldYouDoIt1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4890" title="WouldYouDoIt" src="http://origindesign.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/WouldYouDoIt1.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="120" /></a>Truisme 1: Le bouche à oreille a toujours été au cœur de la croissance des affaires.</strong></p>
<p>Les gens font confiance aux recommandations d’amis, amis d’amis ou d’autres consommateurs, presque six fois plus que dans les marques et leurs formes traditionnelles de publicité.</p>
<p><strong>Truisme 2: Les médias sociaux sont du bouche à oreille sur stéroïdes.</strong></p>
<p>Si vous parvenez à créer une campagne de marketing capable de générer un buzz et qui est en plus très « partageable », alors la communauté va faire le marketing à votre place.</p>
<p><strong>Étude de cas: </strong><a href="http://wouldyoudoit.whistler.com/">Le Whistler Sabbatical Project</a> pour Tourism Whistler, une vitrine de 15 défis vidéo inspirationnels d’une communauté de passionnés. À chaque semaine de novembre à janvier, une nouvelle capsule montrait une expérience unique vécue à Whistler qui allait de sabrer le champagne à skier dans les falaises, en passant par le go-go dancing et le ziptrekking de nuit, le tout vu sous l’angle passionné de personnalités de Whistler, de chefs primés, d’athlètes médaillés d’or, d’entraîneurs olympiques et d’alpinistes. Ces capsules ont capté l’attention de spectateurs à travers le Canada, les États-Unis, le Royaume-Uni et l’Australie.</p>
<p><strong>Le bénéfice consommateurs</strong> : une dose d’inspiration livrée directement dans leur boîte de réception, permettant à chacun de s’identifier comme audacieux/aventureux/curieux/expérimenté/fonceur. Chaque visionnement offrait également la chance au consommateur de mériter un mois de congé sabbatique, toutes dépenses payées, à Whistler. De plus, chaque vidéo était facile à partager et à commenter par Twitter, Facebook et les boutons de courriel.</p>
<p><strong>Le bénéfice client</strong>: Les capsules mettant en vedette des membres de Whistler ont permis d’établir la destination comme un endroit peuplé de gens passionnés et qui permet aux visiteurs de se payer du bon temps, tout particulièrement s’ils viennent passer un congé sabbatique à Whistler.</p>
<p><strong>Les résultats</strong>: Sur 15 semaines, la campagne a généré des dizaines de milliers de visionnements de vidéo et 13 000 participants au concours, tout en augmentant notablement l’engagement dans le réseau social du centre de villégiature. Le nombre d’abonnés Facebook GoWhistler a pratiquement doublé pour atteindre 17 000 adeptes, les interactions sur Facebook ont augmenté de 123 % et le nombre d’abonnés Twitter est monté jusqu’à 9000.</p>
<p>Presque 40 % du trafic sur le microsite de la campagne wouldyoudoit.com est le produit d’efforts de marketing de la campagne par l’intermédiaire d’outils de marketing traditionnels, plus d’un tiers grâce à des campagnes de courriels, et le quart restants provient des médias sociaux et les références de tiers partie.</p>
<p>En conjonction avec d’excellentes conditions d’enneigement, cela a produit des niveaux record de fréquentation de la station en décembre et en janvier.</p>
<p>Alors, si vous développez une plateforme créative avec l’intention d’être viral, stimuler l’engagement ou créer un haut niveau de références, faites le test avec la liste de vérification Fit to Share (Prêt à partager), créée pour le Whistler Sabbatical Project.</p>
<p><strong>Liste de vérification: Est-ce que votre concept peut vous propulser encore plus loin? Est ce que votre idée de campagne est conçue pour générer du partage par le bouche à oreille ?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Cela met-il un visage sur votre organisation? Cela rend-il la marque plus accessible?</li>
</ul>
<p>Le Whistler Sabbatical Project a été positionné, une première dans l’histoire de la station, comme « une initiative de Tourism Whistler et ses quelque 6 500 membres, comme le moyen de faire partager la passion de ces montagnes qui définit la marque ». Les membres se sont impliqués pour faire connaître leurs histoires.  Pas en tant que vendeurs ou façonneurs d’image, mais à titre de personne avec une passion à partager.</p>
<ul>
<li> La « Grande idée » contient-elle une histoire simple que tout le monde peut comprendre facilement sur la marque ?</li>
</ul>
<p>La grande idée était que tout le monde qui travaille à Whistler a une passion personnelle à partager. Cette notion, qui dépasse l’ampleur géographique des lieux, établit mentalement une destination à la mesure des rêves les plus fous, attentes ou désirs, de tout consommateur.</p>
<ul>
<li> Le contenu a-t-il le potentiel de devenir une histoire ?</li>
</ul>
<p>Chaque capsule vidéo était comme l’embryon d’une plus grande histoire, essaimant d’autres contenus dans des blogues, entrevues, publireportages et information dans les médias. La grande histoire, soit la possibilité de gagner un congé sabbatique d’un mois à Whistler et de pouvoir faire l’expérience de tout ça a également eu des échos dans les canaux médiatiques traditionnels.</p>
<ul>
<li> Y a-t-il une porte d’entrée pour le consommateur?</li>
</ul>
<p>“Would you do it?” (« Le feriez-vous ? ») était le slogan de la campagne. Décrocheriez-vous de la routine de la vie de tous les jours pour un congé d’un mois à Whistler? Sabreriez-vous le champagne ? Skieriez-vous sur une piste appelée Dead on Arrival (Mort à l’arrivée)? Danseriez-vous en bottes de ski à minuit ?</p>
<ul>
<li> Votre contenu est-il sans aspérités ? Est-il de la bonne taille, du bon format, appuyé par le bons boutons du réseau social pour faciliter leur partage ?</li>
</ul>
<p>Il a été possible de partager et de commenter par Facebook et Twitter, où l’équipe de médias sociaux de Tourism Whistler accueillait la conversation et stimulait l’esprit de communauté.</p>
<ul>
<li> Est-ce gens-centrique ?</li>
</ul>
<p>La campagne n’a jamais essayé de vendre des produits, des expériences, des nuitées.  Essentiellement il était question de partager l’idée qu’il existe un endroit où des gens se rendent, se dépassent personnellement et repartent les batteries rechargées, plein de vitalité.  Qu’il s’agisse de membres de la communauté ou de membres de l’organisation, le Projet de congé sabbatique était centré uniquement autour de personnes.</p>
<ul>
<li> Est-ce divertissant ? Hors de l’ordinaire ? Informatif ? Cela remet-il en question les conventions ?</li>
</ul>
<p>Les gens aiment bien paraître sous leur meilleur jour quand ils partagent.  En produisant les capsules de sabbatique sous forme de micro-défi – Danseriez-vous le gogo sur une boîte de son ? Je suis passé par là. – les gens avaient la possibilité de partager quelque chose sur eux avec leurs propres réseaux sociaux tout en partageant du contenu de Tourism Whistler.</p>
<ul>
<li> Est-ce intégré dans une campagne plus large?</li>
</ul>
<p>Aussi bon soit-il, tout contenu travaille encore mieux en synergie.</p>
<ul>
<li> Le produit, l’expérience véritable d’être à Whistler, remplit-il ses promesses ?</li>
</ul>
<p>Si oui, vos visiteurs socialement mobiles afficheront des commentaires sur leur expérience absolument incroyable, faisant tourner la roue.</p>
