"Entertainmented Brand" Controversy
In 2011, Troy Hitch, creator of You Suck at Photoshop and creative director at Proximity Branded Entertainment, started a separate "Entertainmented Brand" movement, urging that entertainment should be placed first and foremost, with the brand's role being secondary to the viewer experience. Inspired by Hitch's falling out with Doug Worple, CEO of Barefoot Proximity, after co-authoring a whitepaper entitled "Branded Entertainment: Distributed Storytelling in a Digital World" during late 2010, the disagreement has since become a hotbed of debate resulting in threats to both parties and unexplained hackings of the Proximity Branded Entertainment website.

Famous quotes containing the words brand and/or controversy:
“The question mark is alright when it is all alone when it
is used as a brand on cattle or when it could be used
in decoration but connected with writing it is
completely entirely completely uninteresting.... A
question is a question, anybody can know that a
question is a question and so why add to it the
question mark when it is already there when the
question is already there in the writing.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
