Our partnership with CIF (The Canadian Institute for the Future) is leading us down a swift path towards a new dynamic publishing platform, designed to build infrastructure in local communities by way of transmedia development and a robust microfinancing engine. Basically, we’re hoping to re-engineer the storytelling process and make it profitable (and equitable) for entire groups of people. In our humble belief, participatory culture is something that must be empowered if we want to affect real change in the near and long term. Look out for more details coming soon…
Going to Gulltaggen
I’ve been invited to speak at Gulltaggen, the Nordic Premiere Digital Media Conference, April 27th – 29th in Oslo, Norway. I will be presenting material based on Transmedia Development and The New World Model, as well as showcasing new work I’ve been doing with Canada’s IFTF (Institute for the Future). I am honored, humbled and thrilled to join such renowned company as Sir Richard Branson, Guy Kawasaki, Mitch Joel and Chris Andersen… and of course, it’s always great to visit Norway!
South Beach, Baby!
Gunther Sonnenfeld will be teaching a communications planning and advertising technology course on November 13th, 14th and 15th at the prestigious Miami Ad School, a partnership with CP+B. The invitation is truly an honor, and special thanks to Frank Striefler (Media Arts Lab) for making the recommendation. The three day course will cover the subjects of media socialization, transmedia development and technology implementation, as well as how these disciplines apply to a thesis project the students are creating to rebrand the city of Miami. If nothing else, 4 nights at The Clinton and 80 degree November weather should be enough to stimulate the senses.
