Important NG Trends

Key NG Technologies

Podcast

Podcast

  •  New, moderate-cost channel to get media-based messages into people's hands
  • Grab & go convenience: each individual can play your message when and where
    desired
  •  Subscription model automatically distributes new/updated content directly to your audience

Opportunities exist to deliver existing audio material (talks, radio programs, etc.) to a broader audience and to specialized audiences requiring hands-free/eyes-free delivery (e.g., product information to salespeople traveling by car).

Risks include that the some target audience may not be podcast-savvy, while other demographics will require high production values to remain engaged.

Podcasts & White Papers

Software maker Symantec released its 2007 Green Data Center Report in late November. An innovative approach to disseminating this material was releasing an Executive Summary in the form of a podcast interview with a Symantec executive.  Podcast interviews with authors from magazine and book publishers are increasingly common; similar podcasts accompanying corporate white papers are a newer trend.  Access both the podcast and the full report.
