WCN TRANSMEDIA SHOWCASE: Oprah's Master Class OWN, Maya Angelou & Jay-Z "A LESSON IN TRANSMEDIATION"

WCN TRANSMEDIA SHOWCASE: Oprah's Master Class OWN, Maya Angelou & Jay-Z "A LESSON IN TRANSMEDIATION"

Its been said that we may get our 15 minutes of fame and many of us don't yet understand that in those moments you have to be ready.  

It was maybe about 20 years ago when I got on a plane leaving Boston's Logan Airport heading home to NYC.  The moment I got on the plane there she was an Angel: The inspirational, The Kind and The Loving Mentor who I spent 3 hours talking to because of a rain delay…the venerable Maya Angelou. She is a True Transmedia Icon, who touched my life personally, and it’s my honor to award Maya with the 2011 WCN Social Media Legacy Award. 
Yes Maya Angelo allowed me to sit in the open seat in the first row of the plane.  There she was with her assistant and an open seat.   My heart raced because I recall my mother reading her books & poems and learned true SHEROISM, here is someone who has come against impossible odds, yet had a perspective on leadership and decision making that I carry to this very day.

OPRAH'S Master Class is a Brilliant Television Concept that I hope will make OWN very successful in communicating and reaching its audience.  And even more important is the Audience can OWN the lessons from the show to make the world a better place.


MY SHERO
"MAYA ANGELO"




MASTER CLASS: JAY-Z
DREAMS DO COME TRUE:

A LESSON IN TRASMEDIATION: Inspired by Michael Moon of GISTICS Incorporated, Reported by Jay O'Conner CEO or WCNTV Transmedia Catalyst.

Transmediation entails the optimization grand narratives for engagement and immersion across multimodal (multi-format, multimedia, multi-device) content.

Transmediators use focused imagination and resonance to maintain COHERENCE of their narratives across the Web, print, packaging, signage, and satellite TV as well as beverages, cosmetics and personal care, events, fashion apparel, food, industrial design, and Web services for PCs and mobile devices (including Apps!)
 

Transmedia practitioners--transmediators--assume a market condition of *hyper-transparency*, wherein the personal truths of each actor (consumer, customer, intermediaries, originating service provider or product innovator, and the entire "upstream" raw material, component, and assembly providers) remain accessible to each other.
 
Transmedia parallels the emergence of "slow food" and the idea of "soil to plate" and "farmer to diner" — wherein *social* becomes the newest active ingredient in consumption.

Hyper-transparency thus demands the following of all key actors

• Personal authenticity and congruence
• Willing communication and engagement with other stakeholders
• Earned and sustainable trust  



This will entail the transformation of marketing--from hucksters putting lipstick on smelly pigs to authentic and congruent "brand advocates" attracting and engaging consumers in conversation, discussion, and reasoned argument.

Who are Transmediators?


We believe that Transmediation will resonate with these stakeholding groups:


• CREATIVES in advertising and marketing services seeking a broader economic framework for their creative work 


• Digital "dotcom" BRAND OWNERS seeking effective physical presence of their purely digital brands 


• DIGITAL CONTENT INFRASTRUCTURE providers view Transmedia as the next big category for generating demand for the content services 


• MULTIMEDIA PUBLISHERS transforming their content portfolios into active and vibrant guilds, communities, and congresses


What we do? -  Transmedia Match.com

We are building a pipeline to increase the amount of Production that can be released to a Social Networked Audience allowing viewers to instantly buy anything seen via IPTV.

We provide Advertisers the opportunity to use product placement to sell more products to the targeted demo for their product having been invited into the Transmedia Relationship.

We provide Content Owners access to a revenue share opportunity on the click and buy, through rates for each unique impression delivered to that advertiser leading to the interaction with said retail fulfillment operation.

We provide reporting tools for Advertisers and Content Owners as to who clicked, on what item, by time, zip code, IP Address and/or Payment Processing systems for merchandising and fulfillment.

We protect Intellectual Property Online as the monetization is in the click, removing the incentive for bootlegging or restriction barriers from international distribution of content online.

We are building a Sales Team to support Producers to attract Advertisers to monetize their content at all levels from the BIG BLOCKBUSTER STUDIO to a College Student who has the right to Distribution of his Film about anything he wants to say.




The Way Forward

Now technically let’s set this as a given.  If Mark Zuckerberg, Zynga Gaming and the Hulu and others can keep their systems up and running so that 500 million people can be communicating, playing, looking at pictures and spending billions in virtual money for everything from Farmville to Poker, our proposal to monetize streaming video has the expandable capacity via cloud computing and with companies like PayPal, Playspan, Micro transactions are more than possibly in any currency.

Transmediation is here and this is an incredible opportunity to take this to a mainstream audience.

WCN TRANSMEDIA EVENT SHOWCASE "TVOT" TV of Tomorrow Show 2011 May 17-18, 2011 Yerba Buena Center for the Arts San Francisco, California



WCN TRANSMEDIA EVENT SHOWCASE "TVOT" TV of Tomorrow Show 2011     May 17-18, 2011  Yerba Buena Center for the Arts   San Francisco, California Hosted by  Tracy Swedlow Founder, CEO, Editor-in-Chief, Co-Producer TVOT, Sponsorships.



First let me say that there has never been a more informative and exciting conference or time to be alive.  The acceleration of Facebook, Gaming and literally Trillions of dollars in global distribution opportunities for Artists, Fans, Innovators and yes friends even Customers.  The ultimate win win is on the horizon and may just be the economic change we have all been looking for.  What Tracy and Team has created in my opinion is the Social Media Equivalent to NAPTE, NAB, MIPCOM, and more. As convergence allows Producers of Content access to Advertisers for Product Placement WCN Transmedia Group is conducting several Transmedia Research Projects to match Content to Advertisers.  Those of us who have invested our lives in creating content only to find that Scarcity is a tool to limit creativity and access to licensed content. And speaking of Licensing what has it done for you lately.  Well should a invitation come I would love to share 
Transmedia Brandcasting will affect the future of the entire Entertainment Supply Chain.  Folks no need to be afraid we can bridge the gap between Traditional Media and New Social Transmdia. We are so confident that for the first 100 Advertisers, Agencies and Content Owners who join our Transmedia Brandcasting Research Project will get Free Mapping of 10 Hours a $100,000 Dollar Value for content to be monetized for instant purchase opportunities pushed throughout the Global Social Media Universe. And Agencies will receive a double their income guarantee from WCN matching whatever Agency Fee charged to an Advertiser WCN will match that commission.  WCN 
will be seeking Strategic Alliances for Transmedia R&D and the deadlines will be coordinated with through the end of TVOT Conference May 18th Register a Like on Facebook and be one of the first 100 to make Transmedia History.
