Theater of Public Influence - Ep. 035 Theater of Public Influence - Ep. 035 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 21:23:45 +0000 Last week, streaming media giant, Netflix set the internet ablaze when they announced significant changes to their pricing model. The resulting 60% price hike for most customers sparked a torrent of negative backlash on the Nextflix blog and various social media channels.

In the latest episode of the Theater of Public Influence podcast, our roundtable dissects this story from every possible angle.  Could Netflix have handled this change differently?  What (if any) effect did the social outcry have on this decision and similar decisions to be made by other companies?  Was this a necessary move to combat rising costs or a greedy cash grab by a near-monopoly?  What is the cost of bandwidth and who’s ultimately getting paid?  We follow the money and analyze the move by Netflix and the greater question of bandwidth as a commodity which looks more and more like the oil of the digital age.

In this episode Ben, Brady and Travis are joined by a group of forward-thinking healthcare marketers, including Nina Coolidge (from the Brain Injury Association of Mass.), Kevin McDonald (KMcD Strategy and Communications Solutions), Amy Lantaigne (Eastern Connecticut Health Network), Andrea Seaton (Grace Cottage Hospital), Jeff Steblea (Market Street Research), Courtney Paige (Stamford Hospital) and Rolf Olsen (Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center).  We discuss the concept of branded content as it relates to the healthcare industry. What kind of content is most effective? How much should you produce and how long should it be?  When to regulate content and when to engage in a social environment? Should you buy content or create your own?  These questions and more are answered in this special edition of The Theater of Public Influence.

With more and more television content available online from Hulu to Netflix to the network websites themselves, the value-conscious viewer can conceivably get their weekly TV fix without giving a dime to the cable company.  But, with many new devices and services on the market, bringing that content from your computer screen to your wall-sized flat-screen HDTV can be a daunting process. 

As usual, your hosts help you cut through the clutter and break down the pros and cons of Roku, Apple TV, Google TV and a good ol' computer hooked up to your TV.  All this, plus GY&K Q&A, (a bit more than) 30 Seconds of Rage and more!
