À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Our guest this week on Lost In Found is David Born of Born Licensing. He specializes in licensing a very particular type of Found Content: Fictional characters. Recently, he helped Havas London make the ASDA supermarket Christmas spot featuring Buddy The Elf.
David gives some practical tips about how to put a fictional character in your ad campaign. And why they’re better than celebrities (for one, fictional characters never drink and drive). We also talk about the GEICO angry birds ad, The Uber Famous Rides campaign from last Halloween and a whole lot more, including a heart-warming story about how David got his childhood friend, who also happened to be a talking bunny, a paying gig.
Did you know that consumers trusted Found Content more than stock or original production? It’s true. And the Found Content solution of choice for the world’s most creative agencies and brands is Catch+Release. From user-generated films to five-star customer reviews, if you can find it on the internet, you can license it with Catch+Release. And now you can get a free possibility briefing with our award-winning curation team. Click here to talk to someone as soon as today. And tell them Lost In Found sent you.
