O ‘ere it were a silent night, I sleep in jest, my eyes in burdensome heap

Far o’er the time that I have woke, to see the path is trodden and me, beneath

In this new world to which I have found presence, I see the dwindling beauty

Alas ol’ times my loss of life lies heavy under tales of fear and strife

 

Tomorrow comes and morning brings a most loyal friend,

O companion, your light does greet me hence,

Whilst I lay silent beneath the ground you kindly shone upon my bed

O dear companion, O light of day, unburden me until the end and stay with me 'till I wake again


O from head to toe my pain resides

lest lost in fortune those moments we share to rid me of this sentiment,

Good grief and kind sorrow arise and carry me forth

Alas, you are more than just acquaintances now




- Shakespeare, W.

Act 3 Scene 1: Fixing Shakespeare's image through clever advertising

-
No longer the loved bard who returned from the dead, Shakespeare is now hated around the globe for exploiting copyright law and leaving many starving artists in his wake. No one will work with him, and based on his current lavish lifestyle, financial experts estimate that he will be broke within the next 3 years. Shakespeare needs to fix his image. Despite his newfound love for 1959 Dom Perignon, Shakespeare remains a man of strategy backed by a stellar team of marketing experts. Some of their previous marketing ploys can be found here . Now, while their marketing was extremely effective in attracting new fans, more is now needed to fix Shakespeare’s image in the public eye. Shakespeare and his team turn to advertising, in other words, paid marketing. His team has labelled their elaborate advertising campaign ‘Shakespeare 360’, hoping that by the end, Shakespeare’s image will have 360ed. Here is a summary: Step 1 – Sponsoring Local Theatres Shakespeare will set up a ‘foundation...

Act 3 Scene 3: The road to Burgeoning Success

Growth (https://sproutsocial.com/insights/growing-your-agency/) We live in a reactionary society. In most part we act after the fact, learn what was needed to be learnt and build systems to ensure what went wrong never goes wrong again. Over time and with technology we have begun to build systems whereby we can, to some degree, pre-empt struggles and work to stop them before they ever begin. This, we understand transcends all systems within life, include and especially entertainment. We can therefore begin here to determine how Shakespeare can use reactionary feedback from audiences to improve the experience and quality of his works, how he can use past successes and failures within the industry to manage costs and ultimately build a lasting and successful career. Here then is where we uncover how Shakespeare will maintain the success he has built and win over audiences across the globe once more. Gathering and Acting on Feedback  We touched on briefly in Act 2 Scene 1 the importan...

Image: https://crimereads.com/poison-in-the-ear-why-iago-is-the-ultimate-thriller-character/ “See first that the design is wise and just; that ascertained, pursue it resolutely.” Shakespeare and Strategy The lasting influence of the Bard's greatest pieces. The bard hath sprung to mind amongst the team  - a strategic man, old, dead and supreme. Introduction - The Team's Choice Shakespeare - I love him, some of y'all hate him (and rightly so, the bard has indirectly given millions of students across the globe PTSD and carpal tunnel syndrome. Quite the legacy!). The team  and I love creative writing, literature and English so it was a no brainer that Shakespeare would be our strategic leader of choice. Through subsequent posts we'll explore how he, having risen from the dead and integrated himself into 21st century life, could use today's technology to further his strategies and spread his philosophies.  He's a bit of a Bard boy and who can resist one of those? Th...
