Checklist for creators – are we really doing what we should be doing?

In my podcast series “Evolving Media” (yeah, my imagination didn’t reach further than just taking the name from this blog and using it for the podcast series as well… but hey, why change a winning concept?)

Location based and engaging – telling stories through your everyday world

I will hazard a guess that very few readers of this blog missed that Pokemon Go was a bit of a success last year. It was great fun. For a while, for me, but for far longer for other people.

This, in turn, means more complexity to the project and a lot more work. The upside is that we can arrive…Read more Five focus areas for successful multiplatform storytelling

Possibly impossible – the challenging art of looking past what is possible to what is probable

Cross media, transmedia, multiplatform storytelling, deep media… the terms are legion and intertwining, as I’m sure most readers of this blog know already. At the heart of all of them lies an urge to tell compelling stories over more than one media, in ways that engages and immerses the audience and utilize the strengths of…Read more Possibly impossible – the challenging art of looking past what is possible to what is probable
