SXSW 2024

Tony Soprano, Shiv Roy & How Brands Can Become Antiheroes

Description:

From Sopranos to Succession, viewers have fallen hard for the unrelenting antiheroes who unapologetically act out our darkest urges on the screen.
It took a tremendous leap of faith for TV execs to back series leads that weren't “good,” but the result has been one appointment TV megahit after another.
Is it time for brands follow suit?
Should yours?
This session will introduce you to a brand-new brand development tool, Antihero Archetypes, and show you how to use it to help your brand break bad.
