o 分級授權(quán): 根據(jù)合作伙伴能力與產(chǎn)品定位,授予不同層級的授權(quán)權(quán)限。
真正偉大的IP不是被消費的符號,而是被珍藏的情感。 當(dāng)設(shè)計成為情感的載體,營銷成為共鳴的橋梁,IP便不再是商品,而是融入生活的精神伙伴。IP的永恒價值,不在于它被印在多少商品上,而在于它喚醒了多少人心底的微光。
In an era of explosive IP content growth but severe homogenization, how can we carve out a unique path through design innovation and emotional connection amidst fierce competition? Facing the challenge of balancing IP development with marketing, maintaining artistic purity while achieving commercial value. This balance is not merely a matter of business strategy; it fundamentally determines whether an IP can truly resonate with people and endure.
IP Asset Library Development (Infrastructure)
Goal: Build a rich, high-quality, visually consistent asset library.
Key Points:
Systematic Categorization: Implement detailed tag-based management by character, scene, prop, emotion, style, etc.
Style Guide: Establish strict visual standards (color, line, proportion, composition) to ensure consistency.
Multi-dimensional Assets: Provide multiple character angles/viewpoints, expression packs, action sequences, scene detail shots, etc.
High Quality & Scalability: Use vector formats or high-resolution bitmaps to support applications of all sizes.
Emotional Coverage: Ensure the library conveys the IP's core emotions (joy, passion, comfort, suspense, etc.) across different situations.
IP Derivative Product Development (Value Extension)
Goal: Deliver the IP's core value and emotional experience to users' lives through physical or digital products.
Key Points:
Deep Alignment: Derivatives must naturally embody the IP's spiritual core and emotional value, beyond simple logo application.
Category Selection: Prioritize categories that amplify the IP's emotional experience (e.g., plush toys convey warmth, stationery conveys companionship).
Innovative Materials & Craftsmanship: Enhance emotional connection through unique textures, sound/light effects, or interactive design.
Tiered Development:
Core Collectibles: High-price, high-craftsmanship, limited editions satisfying superfans' sense of belonging and desire to collect.
Daily Consumer Goods: Affordable, highly practical items (stationery, apparel, household goods) integrating the IP into everyday life.
Experiential Products: Games, AR interactions, themed exhibitions/cafes providing immersive emotional experiences.
User Co-creation: Invite fans to participate in derivative design voting or creative contests to strengthen emotional bonds.
Future Directions for Providing Emotional Value in IP Content
Emotional Mapping Construction:
Deeply analyze the emotional dimensions (joy, sadness, courage, loneliness, etc.) of IP characters and worldviews.
Systematically build emotional experiences through plot, visual design, music, and other channels.
Develop emotion recognition technology to adjust interactive content experiences based on user emotional feedback.
Immersive & Multi-sensory Experiences:
Utilize VR/AR/MR technologies to create immersive story worlds.
Design multi-sensory derivatives incorporating touch (e.g., haptic feedback, temperature-sensitive materials), smell (themed fragrances), and taste (IP co-branded foods).
Develop intelligent derivatives capable of responding to user interaction (e.g., AI dolls that can converse).
Personalized Emotional Connection:
Leverage AI and big data analytics to provide users with customized IP content and derivative recommendations.
Create branching storylines and character interactions that adapt based on user preferences or state.
Offer deeply customizable derivatives (e.g., exclusive props engraved with user names).
Community Emotional Resonance:
Build fan communities centered around the IP's emotional core, encouraging emotional expression and story sharing.
Design online/offline activities (themed gatherings, co-creation projects) that foster emotional connections among fans.
Integrate fan emotional stories into official content creation, forming a virtuous cycle of emotional value.
Establishing an Orderly, Sustainable IP Marketing Strategy
"Emotional Value" as the Core Marketing Theme:
All marketing activities revolve around conveying the IP's core emotional experience.
Marketing content itself should be emotionally resonant, sparking empathy and sharing.
Clearly define which emotional need the IP fulfills (companionship, comfort, achievement, belonging).
Tiered and Phased Marketing Cadence:
Cultivation Phase: Focus on core niches (vertical communities, KOCs), building emotional resonance and word-of-mouth through high-quality content.
Explosion Phase: Combine with major milestones/product launches to create breakout events and generate emotional buzz.
Sustained Phase: Maintain emotional engagement through regular content, user activities, and small-scale collaborations.
Revitalization Phase: Introduce new characters, storylines, or innovative derivatives to reignite emotional excitement.
Building an Omni-Channel Marketing Matrix:
Online: Social media (emotional topics, UGC incentives), short video platforms (immersive shorts, behind-the-scenes), content platforms (deep world-building, character columns), e-commerce platforms (contextual marketing, limited releases).
Offline: Themed exhibitions/pop-ups (immersive emotional experiences), specialty retail stores (themed shopping environments), fan meetups/celebrations (emotional bonding).
Integration: Ensure consistent emotional messaging and visual experience across all channels.
Data-Driven Precision Operations:
Monitor user emotional feedback on IP content (comments, UGC, community discussions).
Analyze derivative sales data and user reviews to gauge emotional value realization.
Adjust content creation, derivative development, and marketing strategies based on data insights.
Establishing a Healthy Licensing & Collaboration Ecosystem:
Rigorous Vetting: Select brand partners highly aligned with the IP's tone, values, and emotional core.
Deep Co-creation: Avoid simple logo slapping; promote deep integration at product, design, and marketing levels.
Control Pace & Volume: Prevent emotional value dilution through over-exposure; prioritize quality over quantity.
Tiered Licensing: Grant different levels of licensing rights based on partner capability and product positioning.
Truly great IPs are not consumed symbols, but cherished emotions. When design becomes a vessel for emotion and marketing becomes a bridge for resonance, IPs cease to be mere commodities and transform into spiritual companions woven into the fabric of life. The eternal value of an IP lies not in how many products it's printed on, but in how many sparks it ignites within the human heart.
