By creating a community of positive support, users are made to feel as though they are not alone in their desire make to positive changes.

TOD’s Art Plus Drama Party

April 7, 2011

“Last week I attended the TOD’s Art Plus Drama Party at the Whitehall Gallery in London. This event represented a fusion between the art and fashion worlds, and enter: new media had well known fashion bloggers on hand to film their experiences and put their own spin on the event. The result of the project was a series of high quality HD videos showcasing the exquisite performance and gallery event put together by TOD’s — a brand committed to artists and their craft. We love working with bloggers to capture an insider point of view at events, and we have many more projects like this in the pipeline.”

March 22, 2011

“Over the weekend, A&E Television’s hit show, Dog The Bounty Hunter, gained its one millionth fan on Facebook.  While we can’t take all the credit, this achievement is largely due to our application, “The Hunt for Top Dog”. We are very pleased that fans love interacting with Dog on Facebook as much as they like watching him on TV, and we look forward to rolling out more content to play with in the very near future.”

enter: new media: Notes on Changes to Facebook tabs and Brand Pages

February 11, 2011

Due to recent changes in the layout, backend, and feed on Facebook pages, enter: new media has put together the following notes to help our clients and personnel better understand how this could potentially affect their current pages.

-Administrators now have the option to leave comments and post as their brand, or as their personal profile. Brands are now able to “Like” and leave comments on other people/company profiles as the brand. This type of “cross-personality” behavior will be monitored, to ensure correct brand affiliations and reputation.

-Facebook now gives administrators the opportunity to block negative, harmful, or offensive words. This is a gain for all of our brands, though a third party service is still required to track brand sentiment, as well as alert the Administrator of off-brand content.

-The Administrator of the page can now be visible to other viewers of the page. This gives the brand a face, which could be good for personality, but bad for the person themselves if negative fan interaction is directed at their personal profiles. We will use this feature with caution and continued discretion.

-Photos at the top of the page can be creativity utilized to benefit the brand. This is an exciting opportunity, as more space to grow brand identity is always welcome, and social media is becoming more visual.

This announcement coincides with the news that Facebook will be integrating iFrames into their backend. We are aware of this change as well, and will keep you abreast of any information regarding this news. We hope to find the inherent opportunities in all of these changes, and we thank you for your continued support as we manage these efforts on our side.

Please do not hesitate to reach out, should you have any questions.

Warm Regards,

The enter: new media team.

Heavy Livestream Experience

January 27, 2011

We are were very pleased with the overwhelming viewer response to the Heavy live chat and exclusive live streaming video event. The ability for fans to submit questions during the show and have them answered via live video proved really powerful. The event drew amazing numbers and completely spiked the Facebook fanbase. It was also personally rewarding for me to be in Texas as a part of the production crew and personally meet these inspirational people.

I believe this type of event proves how emotionally invested viewers are in A&E’s programming. Social media is giving them the ability to get closer to other fans as well as closer to the real people they see on TV. A&E continues to pioneer transforming TV programming into “must-see, real-time events.”

Versace Men’s Fall/Winter 2011 Livestream

January 25, 2011

“Streaming the Versace Men’s FW 2011-12 runway show live from Milan was an amazing experience – far from glamorous as our team spent the duration of the show in a closet-sized room with the live stream hook-up! But the fan response was impressive – hundreds of fans chatting and watching live on Facebook. The runway show was a gorgeous collection of statement jackets, textured fabrics and amazing knitwear – excellent updates on classic looks. Looking forward to the Women’s show next month!”
