There seems to have been a kind of a transmedia-shaped hole in many peoples’ lives, for some reason. I’ve had some quite interesting chats around some of the thoughts floated in the past few blog posts, and I’ve been pointed in the direction of a few research papers and articles that I feel are looking…Read more Generational Transmedia

The second steps in transmedia
It’s been a couple of years since I last updated one of my more popular posts on this blog - the “First steps in transmedia” post that originated in 2014 and has been updated a few times since. Back in the day, transmedia had matured from the original phenomenon. To some extent, I then felt…Read more The second steps in transmedia
Your story vehicle
Earlier this week I published a couple of posts, one about corporate storytelling and the other about the need for anyone in any field related to an audience to start honing and defining their own narrative and their own story world. This notion of storytelling as a vehicle and a method of gaining and keeping…Read more Your story vehicle
Internal structure that makes external sense
In an earlier post I talked about the Ask as a fundamental part of any project, and of the need to be aware of what Asks we make of collaborators, partners, possible funders and not least ourselves. This post will look at another need, one that predates those Asks and give them the sound foundation…Read more Internal structure that makes external sense
How to make your story resonate

I’ve taken part of all the different discussions on what transmedia really is and what it’s…Read more Transmedia in 2015
Laughter and lightness – an interview with Christy Dena
This interview with Christy Dena was done for the publication One Year In Now Media Vol IV. Here it is, complete with embedded presentations of the projects mentioned. AUTHENTIC IN ALL CAPS won a number of awards in 2014, so this was probably a pretty neat year for you? What were the highlights? Yes,…Read more Laughter and lightness – an interview with Christy Dena
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
Taking The First Steps in Transmedia
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. As I’m increasingly working with people who have no or little experience of transmedia (or even cross media or any of the theories or practices behind multiplatform storytelling), I find myself…Read more Taking The First Steps in Transmedia
