ARE virtual showcase
Are Media is the new name for Bauer Media. And we are pleased to announce the Are Virtual Showcase, to be held on November 5, 2020.
Register for the showcase here – https://tinyurl.com/
Showreel – https://tinyurl.com/
We think this change in ownership and identity will deliver a refreshed local focus to Australian storytelling and our MD David Fare explains below why the showcase comes at a critical time.
“Are is Audience, Reach and Engagement, and they’ve been core strengths historically, but there’s innovation and novelty ahead. The Are tagline is ‘Be Captivated’ and this is an excellent representation of how deeply our audiences engage in food, fashion, beauty, homes, entertainment and lifestyle. People don’t just read, they savour and soak up the content. Media has become experiential, and the new tagline reminds us that these brands are immersive; across magazines, digital, social, video, customer review sites, TV and podcasts.”
Are connects with six in ten Australian women, with unrivalled research on what moves, inspires, and excites women – and what makes them buy.
David: “We regard the virtual showcase as an essential update for Perth media buyers and key agency personnel, not just because it’s a pivot point for the biggest, most engaged digital and print properties in the market, but because it talks to important trends in brand activism and influence, and in bespoke storytelling.”

New media
Ladies and Gentlemen: the flipchart.
Also Quibi, the new streaming service now on Australian mobile phones. Remember local content requirements? Neither do we. Here’s a trailor for their show about a sex doll that comes to life.

Webby for ASIS
Congratulations the Government. ASIS took off a Webby Award for their site ‘The Most Interesting Job Interview’, a recruitment campaign for Australia’s spy agency. [Australian spies good. Foreign spies bad.]
400,000 people have taken the simulated job interview. Click the friendly-looking spy to join the club.
New Zealand also won a Webby for best use of animation on a website. Well done ‘bro. Just keep your evil spies out of our country.
Here’s the winner for Best Media Strategy: it’s Amazon Echo’s launch into India. A pre-roll campaign that promoted their music search capability without paying a rupee to music copyright owners. Sigh.

The best a brand can get
Procter & Gamble successfully positioned Dove as an advocate for girl’s self-worth, rather than a beauty product. Now they are taking a similar line with Gillette, advocating for men’s mental health and respect of women.

Netflix bigger than Disney
Briefly, Netflix market cap exceeded Disney’s, making it the most valuable media stock in the world. Link is here if you don’t believe me.
Netflix also has over US 20 billion in debt.
