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.

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.

Join Catch+Release experts Liz, Head of Curation, and Lisa, Creative Director, who bring over 40 years of combined experience to this insightful session. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to harness the power of the Collections features to supercharge your creativity. Discover how to effectively use Topics to organize content into focused groupings, which can then be developed into Storyboards and transformed into Rip Reels for a streamlined creative process.

The client loves it so much, they want to run it everywhere. That’s when you have to tell them the cold hard truth: this is a rip reel full of unlicensable content.
