Set a realistic target state for digital media content distribution and a defensible route to it.
Building Digital Distribution Strategies for Media Content
A senior-level treatment of digital media content distribution, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Silence during a crisis involving digital media content distribution is itself a statement. Internal audiences learn about content distribution from the news unless you reach them first. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this area of communications and media practice is working and when it is only appearing to. The course sets out a working method for digital media content distribution that participants can apply the week they return. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this strand of communications and media practice that were visible long before the incident. It suits anyone whose decisions touch content distribution, in large organisations and small ones alike. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a communications plan for digital media content distribution as they go. Improvement in content distribution stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the wider communications and media practice agenda that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
