From ad agencies like Victors and Spoils that consist of a core team, who then crowd-source everything else globally, to Adobe moving the software most of the creative industry depends on to the Creative Cloud, it’s all getting mashed together.
Adobe’s published ‘vision’ for the Creative Cloud business move is
to remove friction from the creative process and make it more productive and connected.”

We can see a similar path in publishing of photography media too. Stipple and ThingLink are taking publishers by storm with dynamic metadata links built into images shared freely across integrated media campaigns. Other uses can add links within image too, so the photographs become a living visual media source of information, e-commerce, and brand awareness delivering maximized data analytics to the marking director.
How will you use Mashup Media to develop modular advertising designs, and interactive media with crowd sourced creatives to produce interactive video and images?
