Hello Brand Journalism Community. I’m PC thanks for tuning in to The Brand Journalism Advantage Podcast. Here we go with the inside scoop. On today’s show, it’s Part2 of our Expert Predictions from the Best Of 2014.
If you’ve listened to previous episodes of The Brand Journalism Advantage Podcast then you know that one of the questions I ask is where we will be in 2025. The answers certainly vary but most agree that one of the biggest changes for the business world will be the ways brand communicate to consumers.
Brand Journalism community, 2025 is 10 years away…technological advances will come quickly in just the next five years. Getting a good understanding of how your brand fits in and makes the most use of technology now, will help keep you ahead of the pack.
My prediction, like many of our guests is that brands will further develop and make use of their own channels that feature not only their content but likely also curated content such as we do on PCIN.TV our internet TV Network channel. These channels will be easily accessible to everyone anywhere in the world. This programming will change the relationship that consumers have with brands. It will help create stronger ties and reliance on the brand for knowledge not just about their products but about the industry. So, for instance, Patagonia which currently produces a highly-watched Youtube channel, will continue to share content that talks about its clothing and its impact on the environment. Brands that are highly regarded and watched will establish a star-like quality and become known for their “shareable” content. We’ll see more consumer interaction such as citizen journalism not just on breaking news stories but also submissions for and about brands. Consumerism will be less about impulse shopping and more about thoughtful spends that have been researched by consumers through content that answers their questions about products and services.
