As the main site is getting a overhaul, I come to address this Autumn here on Schoolyard Tuesday Night. So I hope you can understand for now. Another keynote in January will kick off on the updated main site. So for now, this will be the official place to catch a good read about the rest of 2017.
Welcome to Autumn 2017: The return of the classics.
2017 has been a year. Besides that, I feel this is like a rebirth of Schoolyard's classics. This autumn will finally be the mark where many of Schoolyard's heroes are born. From Maya Hatfield to the Kinko Squad, these are the staples that makes up SYBC's identity. These characters are as different as they come. That difference is what makes Schoolyard what it is. So it's finally time to bring them to life. This year, you will get to finally experience their worlds, in so many ways.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The very thing that made Schoolyard will make Schoolyard. I think it's time to finally introduce the world to it's mainline IPs. Every single tool SYBC uses will be at the task of bringing the reader to our worlds. From the One Dollar series, Schoolyard Dailies, Gorbo animation, and much more. I deeply apologize in not introducing these great characters for you to enjoy what they have to offer. Now those redundant days will be behind SYBC. Look forward to upcoming products and projects, as this will be the era of Schoolyard's birth.
Creating a deeper sense of content development. -
Content is very important these days. More important then it's ever been. As a new decade is rising, it's essential to make sure Schoolyard has a deep library of content. Of course, SYBC's superheroes will make this possible. From this autumn on, one of the main focus will be to build a deep sense of a large content library. This commitment will be an championing philosophy to Schoolyard's content development.
A more colorful social media. -
Color is another important element to Schoolyard. And as SYBC continues to tweak all of the sites meaningful to the entire Schoolyard Network, color will be a front runner for this design. All forms of the social media networks will continue to be overhauled with many splashes of colorful content. This will become a huge help in introducing you to Schoolyard's characters. Color is one of the great ways communicating what kind of information that needs to be offered. Check out the social media accounts in the near future to see this take place. Starting with the banner above.
Notes as the new advertisements. -
Schoolyard will also be changing the delivery method of advertising products. Creating information notes will be a more bold, direct, and creative way to send news. It will open up a larger scope of ideas, in making sure this way of displaying our products is effective, and colorful. Expect to start seeing notes as early as next week. These will be located in the "notes" tag. Along with whatever tag that the corespondent product is informing. An archive tag will go under "SchoolyardBtakingnotes".
Facebook and Twitter will not be under neither tag, yet these will have more exclusive content coming to these pages. All of these notes will be relative to every campaign for each SYBC product.
Building an even larger network. -
As Schoolyard begins to recreate the next phase of it's main site, the Schoolyard Network among all its webpages will become even more connected. You will be able to navigate through the website better, than ever before. You won't have any problems getting to an specific item. The main site will always continue to polish itself in bringing you the best of what we offer. Stay tuned soon when the site is finally updated.
Bringing a new found enjoyment to this new era. -
In the 19 years of creating Schoolyard up to this point has been a learning experience. A very hard stance of enjoyment. This new era will now be the birth of making the best Schoolyard can offer. All the tools, from over the span of years accumulated will now bring it all home. Schoolyard will become even more accessible, and reliable than it's ever been. You will be able to now keep up with SYBC in so many ways. Also, you will be able to enjoy many ways Schoolyard will bring it's heroes to your fingertips. Be prepared, because we are enjoying getting ready to bring you the classics.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That concludes the 2017 Autumn Keynote. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your 2017, holidays and all. I will continue to ensure that this Schoolyard journey will become an amazing one. Every single step of the way. Thank you this evening, and as always. Enjoy!
