EA1 is Hiring a Designer for our Visual Rebrand

We are looking for a dynamic, clever designer to rebrand our visual identity. We need a coherent brand architecture and visual identity to use across presentations, letterhead, reports, case studies, website, and social media.

Everybody at Once (EA1) was founded in 2013 by Kenyatta Cheese and Kevin Slavin. The company focuses entirely on audience development and social strategy for media, sports and entertainment brands. It has offices in New York City and Los Angeles, CA.

EA1’s core beliefs are that the audience has an audience and that existing fan communities can be used to attract new audiences when you enable fans to become better fans.

Our mission is to facilitate the connection between creators, their fans, and the communities that they inspire.  

We believe that the greatest shift in media is in the visibility of the audience to itself. To build an audience, you have to understand where, how, and why content spreads within a network.

People love content -- but they love each other more. We facilitate connection and create joyful experiences that generate energy. We direct people toward action that supports both creators and their communities. This is why our company celebrates Integrity, Curiosity, Empathy, Collaboration, Authenticity, and Creativity as our core values.

We know who we are. We know our core messages. Now we’re looking for branding that articulates our work in a clear and meaningful way.

Suggested Deliverables:

logo - full, icon, gif,

fonts,

color palette,

templates for reports, social skins and presentations,

guidelines for use.

Creative inspiration

Our work is about:

Our values: Integrity, Curiosity, Empathy, Collaboration, Authenticity and Creativity. “Everybody at Once”. Joy. Friendship. Connectivity. A sum that is greater than its parts. Humanity. Honoring diversity. Pathways.  Adventure. Understanding -  we take lots of small stories and show how they’re related. Three parts - creators, fans, communities.

People know us for:

Our reputation - “we get it”. We’re leaders - we connect, energize, contextualize. Being storytellers - we enchant, explore, inspire, participate, adventure. Standing out - we’re unique. Data mapping, diagrams. Having an abundance of information. Stability - proof.

Voice and Tone:

Tell the story simply. Give clarity. Focus on the core idea. Give information that travels without explanation. Be self-aware. Be plural. Include participants - think about what you want them to feel or do.

We provide the structure and organization to hold information and communication together so that within, we can focus on stories and exploration.

Visual inspiration:

Entry points - access. Purposeful breaks in the structure. Look at it from a higher resolution. Solid shell - inside it’s varied. Legible fonts. We need text to pop. Hive, forest, pathway, mazes, ants. Color: grounded, deeper, vibrant. Pink. Varied opacity with purpose. Contrast is important.

See visual references here: http://ea1brand.tumblr.com/

Next steps/Expectations:

Submit a proposal via email to: [email protected], preferably as a pdf, by August 21, 2016.

FOX, ABC and NBC Secure Top Online Rankings for Their Lineup of New and Returning Fall TV Shows

"As we're seeing on Facebook and Twitter, major networks like FOX, ABC and NBC continue to release TV shows geared toward its network's demographic, generating a loyal following and resulting in increased engagement on social media," continued Segal. "On the other hand, niche networks also generate strong social media followings and engagement. For example, BBC America's Doctor Who ranked in the top five for both channels and MTV's Faking It and AMC's The Walking Dead both broke into the top ten. You do not have be the largest brand or have the most resources to succeed on social media, you just have to understand your audience and feed them the content they desire."

Teens, Social Media & Technology Overview 2015

Teens are avid users of the Internet: 92% report going online daily — including 24% who say they go online “almost constantly.” The ways teens use the Internet vary widely by race, age, class and even the venues in which they go online. Teen girls dominate visually-oriented social media platforms such as Tumblr where 23% of teen girls are users, compared to 5% of teen boys.

I have this perverse theory that, in about ten years, sections of the internet will have become like the American inner cities of the 1980s. Like a John Carpenter film – where, among the ruins, there are fierce warrior gangs, all with their own complex codes and rules – and all shouting at each other. And everyone else will have fled to the suburbs of the internet, where you can move on and change the world. I think those suburbs are going to be the exciting, dynamic future of the internet. But to build them I think it will be necessary to leave the warrior trolls behind. And to move beyond the tech-utopianism that simply says that passing information around a network is a new form of democracy. That is naive, because it ignores the realities of power.

Digital technologies and social media only partially account for the willingness of museums to explore, at least tentatively, relaxing their control over historical authority. The current trend is in part a legacy of the New Social History of the 1960s and its interest in telling history “from the bottom up.” Having worked for a generation to tell stories that de-center elites, museums are now de-centering elite storytellers, too. The anti-authoritarian bent may be as well a legacy of the so-called culture wars of the 1990s. The fierce backlash against revisionist historical interpretations in the Smithsonian’s The West As America and in the planned Enola Gay exhibition may have made museum administrators more than happy to hand off interpretive authority to outsiders. Finally, we must consider the impact of changes in realms much broader than the museum world. The country’s growing ethnic diversity and its economic crises have pushed museum leaders to recognize that the field’s traditional business models need to be revamped. Instead of taking public support for granted, museums are desperate to prove their worth to their communities, a stance that makes them more receptive to outside partners, voices, and interpretations.

Enough people tweet/quote when I’m in front of audiences that I thought it was time to explain myself with a little more clarity. (I tend to be a bit hyperbolic sometimes.) So over the next few weeks I’ll try and explain.  Thanks @soyuri, @samrogoway, @lucas_shaw, @BingChen, @kelzell, @MyManDK, @RobertJohnDavis, @CarlosAlimurung, @htilert, among the many others who thought I had something to say @Vidcon.

But this ESPN thing is interesting. ESPN is the king of the cable bundle, leading both in prime-time ratings and in the carriage fees that cable providers hand over – about $6.61 per subscriber per month, according to SNL Kagan. Its carriage-fee advantage is huge, as illustrated by this Bloomberg Businessweek graphic.

Also, because viewers are much more likely to watch sports live, rather than recording it or catching it later on a streaming service as with so much other TV programming, ESPN also enjoys a favored relationship with advertisers.

That last attraction remains. Live sports events retain a unique position in an increasingly fragmented media landscape. But other media companies know that too, which is why the price of sports rights keeps going up. Meanwhile, ESPN is caught between trying to follow its audience as it migrates away from cable TV and holding together the cable bundle that is the source of so much of its profit.

Social media is just one example of our quest for belongingness and validation from others. Our idolisation of celebrities is simply another way we express our desire for acceptance. When girls become fans of Zoe Sugg (Zoella to her millions of YouTube fans), they aren’t just building a relationship with her – they are also building a relationship with the entire community around her. When Sugg talks about cosmetics or her anxiety issues on YouTube, it feels like a two-way conversation, rather than a mass broadcast. Her fans feel a deep connection with the best-selling novelist, despite the fact that most of them will never even have the chance to talk to her. There’s a scientific term for this phenomenon: a parasocial relationship. Fandom creates a common connection between others. Celebrities are the most prominent example, but the same is true for those who love certain video games (League of Legends or Minecraft, anyone?) or love certain sports. For millions, being a fan of Liverpool or Manchester City football clubs is an important piece of their identity. Belongingness and validation are fundamental human needs. And although many people don’t seek fame or the famous to fulfil these needs (introverts especially), almost everyone is seeking the validation or empathy that shows they are loved. Without it, it’s easy for people to fall into a dangerous path.

Fascinated by celebrities? You just need more friends (Ben Parr for Wired UK)

the linkbaity headline is 😂 but the piece articulates a good grasp of why fandoms are infinitely wonderful and fascinating.

There are tumblr bloggers who obfuscate their communication by hiding entire posts in tags. My colleague, Molly Templeton introduced me to what she calls “delete culture”—the act of removing social media posts from the Internet that are no longer relevant to the exact moment you are in. She’s shown me Instagram users who limit their accounts to a carefully curated collection of nine photographs that fit in the above-the-scroll grid. We’ve seen super-long Twitter conversations disappear the moment a TV show’s credits roll. This is not the way users are supposed to behave. You cannot data mine deletion. This is the opposite of permanence. I think there’s a lot to learn from these behaviors that are less about meeting consumer needs and more about respecting the human desire to be understood.

I did an interview with psfk about Internet culture and everybodyatonce and we touched on a bunch of the things we obsess about like folks who hide their communication from the rest of the internet. (h/t mememolly)
