You may have
already established that your business will benefit from podcasting,
but you still need a strategy that will suit the business.
There are many applications for podcasting
in the commercial environment - PR and corporate communications, advertising
and marketing, entertainment, travel, leisure, education and training to
name but a few.
Many companies can benefit by using podcasting,
both internally, to aid the flow of information, keep staff informed
and enhance esprit de corps, and externally, to customers, investors,
stakeholders.
At Talking Voices we have the skills
in-house to integrate podcasting within the context of your media output,
keeping overall balance with your existing communication strategy.
We are
well versed in finding the right format for your content, and bringing
podcasting into play where it will enable valuable and effective
communications.
Content Creation
Establishing your own audio-visual
content channel has never been easier, but skillsets and facilities needed
to produce well-focussed, technically sound, editorially consistent
end results are not always immediately accessible.
Podcast production is a mix of all aspects
of program-making, plus internet-specific skills, and online services:
Audio and video production -
not just technical skills, but also style choices
Editorial, journalism
and copy-writing - keeping good flow of information
Presenting and interviewing, voice-over - the
right tone for your audience
Graphic design - as always, people do judge books
by the cover
RSS - it is Really Simple - yet there
is more to it than meets the eye...
Media file hosting - success can cost you, unless
you are prepared for it!
SEO, directory placement - target your content accurately
and maximise reach
User feedback - comment-ready content - email, phone,
old-fashioned post...
Metrics - it is essential to analyse
your user data.
If you are taking podcasting seriously,
you really need a solution which takes all of these into account.
