all the king's papers

King George III wrote about the Revolutionary War. He mainly wrote to himself about the War.

Nearly 350,000 documents from the King are about to be released to the public. These are part of the Windsor Castle's Royal Archives. These papers will reveal how King George III felt about and dealt with the Colonists.

Only a portion of the material, roughly 15 percent, has ever been seen in print. Long a shadowy figure in American history, George III and his world reemerge via his private papers. There are plans to digitize the documents for a new website to launch in January 2017.

that "something special"

Challenge
Create content that stands out. Blogs, news, videos distribute content.
Content must have that "something special" to get noticed.

That "something special" is high-value, interactive content.

It's content that:

• Incorporates dynamic elements such as videos, animations, and image carosels.
• Involves the participation or feedback of the end user.
• Engages the viewer by giving them a role to play in the unfolding story.

Brands are leveraging the power of interactive content. They are telling their story.

One of there interactive approaches is the e-magazine (interactive magazine). This way, cool features are shared. The latest news is published. The users get a great feel of the brands presence.
