Pro Athletes Mentor Elite High School Athletes In Inspirational New Series
Production studio Scatterlight Studios recently completed work on “Scouting Myself,” an original new digital series on The Players’ Tribune that offers elite high school athletes an opportunity of a lifetime — to learn straight from the pros themselves as they aspire to make it to the next level.
New episodes will roll out weekly on The Players’ Tribune, the new media platform launched by New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter that provides athletes with a platform to connect directly with their fans, in their own words. Featured athletes in the series include: NFL players Clay Matthews, Greg Olsen, DeMarco Murray, and Larry Fitzgerald; WNBA players Elena Delle Donne and Maya Moore; and NBA All-Stars Paul Pierce and Harrison Barnes. Each superstar unexpectedly pops in during the filming segments of the high schooler they’re paired with. From the film room to the practice field, the relationships unfold as each pro imparts his or her own wisdom and insights to achieve excellence. The series was created by The Players’ Tribune in partnership with American Family Insurance.

Sonic Branding For Social Media: Engage, Align, Connect
By Chad Cook -- With more than five billion people accessing social media daily, savvy brands understand the importance of cultivating a strong social identity. They devote massive resources toward brand awareness, audience targeting, content strategy and community engagement. Yet, while they know that social platforms are critical to boosting sales and attracting new customers, many neglect one of the most effective tools for connecting with consumers: sonic branding. Marketers often associate sonic branding with catchy mnemonics used by big brands like McDonald’s, Netflix and Intel in their advertising. But that is a very limited view of what sonic branding is and what it can do. Sonic branding is a way to build awareness and stimulate engagement across all touch points, from advertising to broadcast digital, in-person and social. And it’s not limited to members of the Fortune 500. Brands at all levels can benefit from a sonic identity that is memorable, engaging and reflective of its core values. Sound has been scientifically proven to be deeply tied to memory and emotion. There’s a reason that certain songs stick in your head and bring back memories formed years or even decades earlier. So, it’s surprising that sonic branding is often an afterthought in marketing plans. That is especially true in social media marketing. Faced with tight deadlines and strained budgets, creative teams are often tempted to select music for their content simply because it “fits.” Unfortunately, that may result in content that is in tune with what’s trending but is out of tune with brand identity.
