According to Adweek, Hill Holliday is stepping up to the advertainment plate by creating a new position for John Dukakis. The former governor’s son will be svp, director of branded entertainment for the Boston-based shop.
Baba Shetty, evp, chief media officer at Hill, Holliday, said: “These days we’re not just buying media—we’re often creating media, and branded entertainment is an increasingly important part of the mix.”
I’m wondering…does your agency have a branded entertainment or content team? Are you about to create one? Do you have a solid grasp on how content differs from advertising, and why it’s important for agencies to be in this business (again)?
