Is organic product integration truly transmedia? Or is it just a case of semantics.
I’m particularly interested in this area since this week I was just asked to do some similar work in video games. I think video games is often used as a vehicle to market entertainment brands, but what if you reversed it? Where you make the game the campaign. Where you build the backstory elements for the video game brand instead of using the video game as the backstory.
I may want to follow up with you on your ideas in this area in the future.
I’ll be very interested in the 3rd part of the interview since any time I discuss this LOST conversation, people inevitably ask a question, “Sure…LOST can do this, but it’s an entertainment property, this really doesn’t apply to consumer brands does it?”
It would be great to get Dan’s opinion on LOST’s use of transmedia. I gave a spiel at NextWeb about LOST’s use of cross platform and their community….but I never used the word transmedia.

I think “Up in the Air” and American Airlines did a very nice product integration that was basically done on trade.

I believe LOST knew how to actively engage their fans on multiple levels within multiple formats.
