As part of our Ask the Experts series, we’ve been learning from the world’s leaders in content marketing and sharing their advice. In this interview with BuzzFeed’s Director of Creative Strategy, Joe Puglisi, we chat about the explosive popularity of their new food brand, Tasty, and how branded video fits into the organization’s advertising strategy. The following interview contains excerpts …

As part of a large program with AB, I crafted a broad Creative Strategy for one of their new brands, BEST DAMN Brewing Co. This included Creative Development of several cobranded recipe videos which, despite not being seeded on the Tasty platform, gave them more control and still garnered over 1MM views.

In addition to my role as Creative Strategy Director and previously a Copywriter for BuzzFeed’s partnership with GEICO (see sidebar for a full list of work in the partnership), I had an active role in Creative Development of this concept for our second video program.

In August of 2015, BuzzFeed released its first official go-to-market presentation (a story that has been used in every sales pitch until Fall 2016, when the slides were revised). I helped write the story of how BuzzFeed creates an idea, and what makes the creative so shareable.

“Publishers are going to win the content war,” says Joe Puglisi, Director of Creative Strategy at BuzzFeed. “As brands take their creation in-house and entire businesses are built on content marketing, the only two things left to be proprietary will be the audiences and the technology behind distribution.” BuzzFeed’s not worried about social either – the publishers with the audience hold the power. “They are just the tracks,” says Puglisi of Facebook and Twitter. “BuzzFeed is like the train that can move along all of them. Did advertisers pay the people making TVs to put ads on them? No! They paid the networks. BuzzFeed is the new network, decentralized and democratized.“

Bottom line? Try to tell the best story possible and never forget to ask yourself, “Why would people share this? Is it relevant?” Sounds basic, but according to Puglisi, lots of people don’t bother to take a minute to think about these kinds of questions. “Optimization comes with scale,” he says, “but it has to start with good content.”

In addition to developing the proactive Creative Strategy and developing several planned-spontaneity executions as part of a large GRAMMYs program with Pepsi, I ran Creative Development and execution of this real-time piece of content created in a “war-room” with Pepsi’s social agency during the broadcast. Turnaround time from concept to execution was two hours.
