S2 32 Multichoice Agency Day & a Presentation on Podcasting
What do you think? let us know
In this episode Gino gets back to us on what happened at the Multichoice Agency Day, where he was invited to give a talk in which he broke down the era of self-broadcasting and the need for synergy between traditional media such as television and the fastest growing digital format, podcasts, i.e. ACP.
The day kicked off at 9 with various speakers from the Multichoice (MC) group sharing insights about their markets, their marketing efforts and the deal with Canal Plus and how it will affect MC's employees.
One of the fascinating speakers of the day was James Frank who has worked with Beyonce and The Voice on two different continents. He was the one who secured the rights for MC to use Bohemian Rhapsody for one of its campaigns. Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?
No! It's all for real - Time for lunch.
It was Gino's time to talk after lunch and he wowed the audience with his presentation titled "Self-broadcast versus the Small Screen" which he unpacks for you here. The audience loved it so much that they asked for the whole presentation to be circulated - so let's see what happens...
Let us know what you think, what movie or series you would like to see featured, or just to tell us how brilliant it all is:
