Topic:

While words and pictures might have done the trick for your dad's old website, the modern web demands a modern approach. In 2007, that means using audio and video to add personality and panache to your message. The latest session in our series concerning practical branding and the routes to cyber-success takes on the world of sound and vision.

Where’s The Buzz? Podcasting And Video will address the topic from the ground up and enable attendees to make informed judgements about how and whether to invest in a multimedia future.

• What are the advantages? Podcasting and videocasting have become powerful buzzwords, but what benefits do they actually have to offer for a business, an individual or a group?
• Getting Started. What are the entry costs and what do you need to know to make your first broadcast? The hardware and software you need, and the working practices that will save you time and improve the end product.
• Tips and Techniques. What makes a podcast or video transmission that will make people sit up and listen/watch? How can you use tried and tested techniques to add structure, narrative and pace to any subject.
• Who will listen? How to get your podcast and videocasts noticed and listened to. Where to submit them and how to market them. How to get them improved search rankings.

The evening will provide plenty of time for Q & A and will include structured networking.
