| Silicon Beach Fest celebrates tech / entertainment in LA |
 The first-ever Silicon Beach Fest attracted more than 2,000 attendees from LA, San Francisco, San Diego, Santa Barbara, New York, Toronto, and London to celebrate LA startups and entertainment with panels, parties, pitch fests, hackathon, and beach games: volleyball, basketball and surfing lessons in Santa Monica and Venice on June 21-23. TechCrunch, Forbes, and other national and local media covered the fest, centered in Santa Monica and Venice at venues with views of the beach on picture-perfect sunny days. "LA's best chapter is about to be written," said Eric Garcetti, LA City Council Member and Mayoral Candidate. He kicked off the fest with his opening keynote, saying LA is a unique city of mash-ups, where tech, startups and entertainment - plus creativity, cultures, and passion - mix with successful results. "Let us come together and celebrate..."  The mashup theme was reflected in the SBF programming, which included panels highlighting accelerators, VCs, startups, developers, movies, TV, music, web content, art, fashion, social good, surf & skate, and more. Panels were based at hubs including Leadership, Branding / Advertising, Social Media, Entrepreneurs, Community and more. Speakers gave engaging insights on panels, from companies including: VCs, accelerators (StartEngine, Amplify, Launchpad, MuckerLab, Originate), entertainment (Sony Pictures, FOX, NBC, The GRAMMYs, Interscope Universal Music Group), startups (BeachMint,  ShoeDazzle, Pose, Viddy, Mogreet, DocStoc, PageWoo, PromoJam, Machinima, Riot Games, SGN), advertising (OMD, Ignited, Deutsch, TBWA \ Chiat \Day, Edelman, engage:BDR), as well as CAA, Klout, Ustream, Rock the Vote, and many more. Silicon Beach Fest, created by Digital LA and presented by engage:BDR, is the first startup / entertainment fest in LA with programming by tech community team effort including companies (Digital LA, engage:BDR, StartEngine, TechZulu, PromoJam, PageWoo, venues (Hotel Erwin, Viceroy Hotel, Cross Campus, Coloft, CoWorks, Working Village, io/LA).

"It's great to get the tech and Hollywood  communities together to celebrate digital innovation," said Kevin Winston, creator of the Silicon Beach Fest, and Digital LA CEO/Founder. "You could feel the energy and excitement from getting everyone together, from the opening party to the inspiring panels; the creative pitches at the hackathon, demo day, angel pitch fest, and student pitch fest; and the good-times bonding from the nightly parties to the beach volleyball court. Tons of info and tons of fun!"  Attendees love the SBF energy. "Thank you for putting together such a fantastic festival with such smart minds and genuinely collaborative people from so many parts of Digital LA and beyond," said Callie Miller, a panelist on the PR for Startups panel. "I had an incredible time, met so many great people, and I'm inspired by several of my SBF conversations to launch three new projects in LA. This would not have happened without SBF."

| Digital LA - Game Marketing and PR
|
  BEVERLY HILLS - Speakers from EA, Square Enix, IGN, GameTrailers, Maker Studios, Miller PR, mOcean shared tips on video game marketing, from development to game launch day, to events at our pre-E3 Video Games Marketing & PR panel at Beverly Hills Porsche. Highlights: plan your marketing campaign early, reach core influencers with assets like trailers and stills. Broaden your reach to mainstream audiences via ads and smart PR. At our networking reception, attendees enjoyed playing games in the GameTruck, and complimentary Breezy Freeze snowballs, in the lot of Beverly Hills Porsche.Article. PICS.
Highlights:  - Plan your marketing campaign early. Don't wait til the game is released - start marketing during development, releasing news, assets (game stills, trailers, casting, etc) steadily to build crescendo for launch day. IGN covers game news including news, screen shots and trailers months before game release, building anticipation among its gamer audience, and measures impact and intent to buy via its GamerMetrics stats tracking. GameTrailers releases video game trailer for its avid vidgame fans, who spread cool trailer links via social media including Facebook and Twitter. Some game companies, like Square Enix, use marketing feedback to impact development of future franchise titles.
- Identify your target core demo and reach them via online communities and influencers. IGN and GameTrailers have fan profiles, so fans can comment, review, and get to know / respect each other. Maker Studios' Game Station consists of hundreds of avid gamers with YouTube channels covering game news, viral videos, etc. Promoting game news and assets among these game influencers helps increase game reach.
 - Advertising campaigns such as trailers, commercials and viral videos focus on key aspects of your game, and can be targeted to core gamers or mainstream. The mOcean agency worked with publishers to create compelling spots for Star Wars Kinect, Star Trek, and more. When creating video game trailers and ads, it's important to show enough of gameplay, and leave the viewer wanting more.
- Trailers: High-profile games with large ad budgets have started to create live-action trailers, like Activision's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 'Vet and the n00b' ad starring Sam Worthington and Jonah Hill w >22M YouTube views, or the recent viral Prototype 2 live action trailer.
 - PR: try to figure out what general interest / mainstream angle your game has, and promote via related press releases.
For example, Miller PR helped promote Rockstar Games' LA Noire to mainstream audiences by focusing on its revolutionary facial motion capture detail, its artistry capturing film noir visuals, and its detail at replicating LA cityscapes and geography from the 1940s and 50s. LA Noire articles appeared not just in hard core gaming magazines, but also in the LA Times and USA Today.  - Make game release day an event. IGN and GameTrailers let game advertisers buy out homepage takeovers to promote a title. Maker Studios' Game Station game reviewers who get early or first-in-line copies of the game start to livestream and make comment on gameplay to fans eager to catch a glimpse of new game play.
- Events such as E3, Comic-Con, and PAX are also popular ways to promote games to game fans. Warner Bros Interactive promoted its Lord of the Rings games with a live orchestra playing in a section of the LA Convention Center at E3. and with a Gaslamp block takeover at Comic-Con, complete  with costumed characters. Attendees Facebook status updates, tweet pics and check-in to events, creating free viral buzz for a game. Sponsors seek to align their brands with games at events to reach young demos, like Sprint's sponsorship of IGN's game kiosk and photobooth tents at Comic-Con.
- Measure your performance of your game marketing campaigns via video views, comments, Facebook likes/shares, beta downloads, number / publication of press articles, etc.

| Digital LA - NewFronts: Monetizing Content @ UCLA
|
 WESTWOOD - Our expert speakers from Maker Studios, EQAL, ICM, Big Frame, Fishbowl, and more presented their NewFront YouTube channels and original shows, and discussed content monetization via advertising, product integration and sponsorship.
See the Article and PICS. Watch TechZulu's recorded video  HIGHLIGHTS
- The NewFronts in New York heralded the first time for digital content pitches to showcase their shows to advertisers. Digital shows emphasized their premium content, and brought out talent and top execs to promote their shows, with great energy and excitement.
- The Shows. Panelists form LA's top digital production studios and agencies showcased their shows. The shows appeal to a wide range of demographics, including young male with Felicia Day's Geek & Sundry comic book/ geek humor and Big Frame's Bammo vidgame explosion humor, to teen girls with EQAL's u look haute, to moms with Maker Studios' Moms View and DECA's Momversation, to Fishbowl's Petsami pet channel with cats on skateboards and talking dogs for wide family audiences.
- Marketing and Social Media. Content creators have created new shows and channels leveraging their fanbases on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. to promote the show.  Traditional TV content usually takes several weeks for audience to tune in to the show each week. With digital shows, YouTubers and influencers can generate instant online buzz, driving views, channel subscribers, and tweets to watch the show, available online all the time. Also, your shows should promote each other and partner channels/ shows via annotations, social media shoutouts, etc.
For example, George Ruiz from ICM described how the Guild's creator and star Felicia Day leveraged her 2M Twitter fans and Guild audience to tune in to her Geek & Sundry YouTube channel, which has more than 200,000 subscribers and more than 7.5M views in its first month.
 - Advertising. Typical CPM banner ad splits are 45 creator / 55 YouTube.
- Funding. Most of the speakers have YouTube funded shows, part of the YouTube's $100M investment in premium content. Panelists predicted this is just the beginning of much more support for original content.
- Product Integration. Brands are getting smarter at trusting content creators to subtly integrate their products in ways that appeals to their audiences, because they know their auds best. Avoid the 'cringe factor' - if your talent is holding a product and it feels fake, forces, or cheesy, then try another product integration approach. Big Frame's YouTube stars are pros at figuring out how to best integrate products. When DeStorm created a rap video in a Home Depot store for Home Depot, it was fun and funny, and fans appreciated the set and higher production value, said Big Frame's Sarah Penna.
 - Legal: Make sure your legal is set to protect creator rights and clear songs. You don't want to have to take down a viral vid because a song rights expire.
Thanks to our awesome speakers!
