Project Title: The Divided Brain digital
[one_half]
About the Project
The ground-breaking documentary, “The Divided Brain”, needed a digital media component to extend the film and build it’s audience. It was a natural fit for my background that includes science documentaries and digital media.
I came on board early with the client, Matter of Fact Media, to help them secure funding for the digital component and to develop the audience online. Audience profiling revealed that the core target was adults who are educated, had read the source book (The Master and his Emissary), and had their own takes on the book’s ideas according to their fields of interest. Audience research supported a design that included a hub website, integrated social media, a series of web videos, and a shareable interactive quiz.
The project’s social media community grew around the book’s fanbase, brain science niches, mental health, and extended to fields as diverse as economics, ecology, and education. Audience engagement led to many interesting opportunities, including finding financial support and festival interest, and convincing actor-comedian John Cleese to appear in the film![/one_half][one_half last]
