You are a Media Company

Chat #94 – How Podcasts, Video, YouTube or IGTV Can Be Part of Your Marketing Mix

This is Talk Number 19 in a series that will become the You are a media company course. This is the 1st of the final 4 that I will speak about other types of marketing tools out there. In the last chats I spoke about things like social media. This chat, I will focus on the future of podcasts and video.
Definition of a Podcast: First mentioned by Ben Hammersley in a 2004 Guardian newspaper article in which he rattled off possible names for this booming new medium, the “pod” of podcast is borrowed from Apple’s “iPod” digital media player; and the “cast” portion of podcast is taken from Radio’s “broadcast” term. As a matter of clarity, just because it’s named after Apple’s iPod, does not necessarily mean that you have to own or use an iPod — or any portable digital media player for that matter — to enjoy a podcast.
Technomedia defines a podcast is a type of digital media, usually audio, that is available in a series of episodes or and is streamed or downloaded by the end user over the Internet. Podcasts can be made available via a release schedule or uploaded to the Web randomly.
YouTuber is a frequent user of the video-sharing website YouTube, especially someone who produces and appears in videos on the site. YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim created the first YouTube channel “Jawed” on April 23, 2005.
