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.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to harness the power of the Collections features to supercharge your creativity.

Every creative in advertising has been there: You spend a week of your life in an edit room putting together a manifesto video for a client using beautiful content from movies, TV shows, and commercials meant to capture the “feeling” of the campaign.
