Catch+Release, the content licensing marketplace, introduces a series of transformative features for full team collaboration. Helping teams comprising creatives, producers, editors and business affairs to have visibility into how each campaign is progressing.

Jim Beam, a beloved whiskey brand, ran a TV ad in May 2024. The spot, aptly named “People are Good” focuses on humans and has little to do with the taste and attributes of the product. Instead it’s focused on the outcomes and yes, the value. In other words, bringing people together to experience life’s precious moments. As a viewer, it pulls you in, tugs at your heart-strings. It’s real and therefore believable.

What does bowling have to do with Catch+Release's mission to raise creators of all kinds and make it possible for brands and agencies to simply License The Internet? A lot more than you'd think.

During the COVID crisis, a major social networking company developed a new community support feature. For the product launch they created a powerful short film showing images captured by real people. Catch+Release saved the team time and increased consumer trust with authentic content in just 5 days. The ad received +25M views on Facebook in the first 24 hours.

After the country song “Fancy Like,” which mentions Applebee’s, went viral on TikTok, they needed to capitalize on this trend.

This year, we're witnessing an unprecedented confluence of technology, consumer behavior, and market dynamics. We've distilled these complex changes into actionable insights for modern marketers and creative professionals.

How to find audience insights and create compelling campaigns with content found anywhere

Humans have always connected through content. In this e-book, the content licensing experts at Catch+Release make the case for why Human Made content can be more effective than stock - or even original production. This is the guide for modern marketers who are interested in adding more humanity to their campaigns.

We will explore the strategic value of curation within the marketing ecosystem, learning how a proactive and continuous curation process can lead to deeper audience engagement, enhanced brand narrative, and ultimately, a more compelling marketing campaign.

There’s been an explosion of creator content in recent years. And smart marketing teams are finding it valuable to gather relevant creator content on an ongoing basis. This creative exercise is known as curation. Historically, many marketers have left curation to their creative partners, like a social media manager or social agency. But the act of curation can unearth insights and give you a deeper understanding of your audience. And, honestly, anyone can do it. So we thought it was time to create a class.

Even the best laid plans often go awry. When you’re producing a spot, you might end up with film you can’t use, or time frames that still require visuals. Other times, your team might have a gut feeling that certain shots need to be swapped out for better options.

You can’t make this stuff up. Literally. The best visual content isn’t scripted. It’s real. And it’s being posted on social channels by people like you every second. Its now easier than ever to license the perfect shots for your campaigns. Let ECD Tom Christmann and Marketing pro Phoebe Wang show you how fast and easy this is in a step-by-step demo of Catch+Release. You’ll get insider tips on how to find and safely use fresh, authentic content that will engage and move your customers to action.
