Podcast Episode 03 - Listening To The World (and to my mom first)

The internet is a medium which requires authenticity.

The internet has been a two-way mass medium for a while now. But before that, politicians and advertisers alike, could easily get away with sweeping people under the rug only to stop doing so and play mister Nice Guy whenever there was a camera close enough.

Not anymore. With the internet being a two-way platform, politicians and advertisers alike are being scrutinized by the public 24/7. And pinned to the wall every time they’re not being authentic. Rightfully so. Because ‘not being authentic’ means ‘lying’ in my dictionary. And my mom has always taught me lying is something you simply don’t do, isn’t that right mom?

So, politicians and advertisers, you better listen up and do as my mom says. She’s a wise woman. And since she has learned everything about the internet, she has the means to crucify you the moment you’re not “being authentic”.

Your means of defense? Listen to what the people, aka consumers, say about you. So at least you know what you’re doing right and wrong. And it’s a good idea to take it one step further, join the conversation and act accordingly.

That is what our third podcast is all about: listening to consumers.

If you’ve missed our previous post about listening just click to read.

Enjoy.
