Transmedia and the corporate world
One of the things I’ve been doing more of lately than ever before is talk to companies and corporations about their communication strategies and how they approach their own stories. It should probably come as no surprise, since the companies I’m talking to are very much not in the media sphere, that the knowledge about…Read more Transmedia and the corporate world

First, a full disclaimer. I’m writing this post not so much for you, dear reader, as I’m doing it for myself. Let me explain.

Combining for cross media – the Filmteractive Festival
Last year I attendend the Filmteractive Festival in Poland for the first time. It was an energetic event with a certain evangilizing feel to it. As cross media and transmedia is not yet as widespread in Eastern Europe as in other parts of the world, Filmteractive felt like it had an important role to play…Read more Combining for cross media – the Filmteractive Festival
