Brands are acting like media companies
In today's world, brands are transitioning to act like media companies. With the decline in the effectiveness of traditional marketing strategies, brands are now focusing on producing valuable content to solve problems and engage their target audience. By becoming a trusted source of information, brands can organically attract customers and build stronger relationships. The shift towards acting like a media company also allows brands to have more control over their messaging and content distribution.
Networking power of media creation
One of the major benefits of creating media content, such as podcasts, is the networking opportunities it provides. By interviewing industry leaders and experts, brands can establish connections and build relationships with potential clients and partners. This networking power goes beyond just finding customers and can lead to collaborations, speaking engagements, and business opportunities. Additionally, repurposing the content into various formats, such as videos, blogs, or books, allows brands to extend their reach and maximize the value of their media assets.
Challenges and monetization of media assets
Building a successful media asset requires time, persistence, and careful planning. Brands need to have a clear understanding of the problem they are solving and the target audience they want to attract. While monetization can be a challenge for independent podcasters, being part of a network or finding sponsors can provide revenue opportunities. Brands can also benefit from programmatic advertising and repurposing their content in different ways, such as creating books or compilations. Creating a media asset is a long-term strategy that requires patience and a focus on creating valuable content.
