How do you tell a compelling story?
That was the question that Summit Media, the parent company of SmartParenting.com.ph, sought to answer during its Digital Summit Storytelling, a digital conference the media company has hosted for brands and the advertising industry since last year.
The answer, Summit Media tells advertisers via its roster of speakers, is content collaboration. Speaking before a full house at the Samsung Hall in SM Aura last August 2, Chris Guenther, vice president for business operations at Hearst Magazines International, says the most successful digital advertising campaigns happen when there is trust and teamwork between an advertiser and a media website to create branded content.Learn more about brands, media, stories, and the emerging digital world here at #DigitalSummitStorytelling pic.twitter.com/agiGJHB0Ma

And when it comes to the content’s distribution, Guenther states it should be “content that can, and should live everywhere.”
