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.
