The show begins with a tribute to the recent passing of one of the industry pioneers, then the conversation turns to a stream of consciousness chat about what happened to ValueVision/ShopNBC/ShopHQ/EvineLive/Evine/ShopHQ which caused the bankruptcy of its parent company, iMedia.  

A secretaria de Estado de Segurança Pública informou que reforçou nesta quinta-feira (20) o policiamento nas imediações das escolas, após uma nova onda de boatos de ameaças nas redes sociais. Segundo o secretário Alexandre Ramalho, desde o início desta manhã também houve o acionamento do Gabinete Integrado de Segurança, onde ocorre o monitoramento de todas as informações, incluindo inteligência e Disque Denúncia (181). 

Could this really be it?  The press release and CEO call regarding the iMedia results for fiscal year 2022?  

It's the big day, when iMedia FINALLY announces their 2022 sales.  Are you a betting person? 

It's the second attempt at the numbers coming out for iMedia, the parent company of ShopHQ.  Plus before it was ShopHQ/Evine/Evine Live/ShopHQ/ShopNBC it was ValueVision, and it's time for a look back at how it all started, on the TV station which launched "Mystery Science Theatre".  Shawn will play some audio from ValueVision which hasn't been played publicly since it first aired, and a look at how the company came closer than anyone on TV in being the online leader.  Also, a conversation about the listener reaction to the past three shows.   Shawn Wilsie's Youtube Channel

If you've been in the cable tech industry for more than five minutes, there's a good chance you know Bob Gold, the super-energetic PR/marketing guy and Cable TV Pioneer who's been representing cable tech companies and startups since the late 1990s. Gold got his agency start representing a video remultiplexing company (sexy, right?) called Imedia. Since then, off the top of this hack's head, he's flacked for is currently flacking for companies such as Canal Plus, Pioneer (back when it was making cable boxes and interactive guides), Media One, Incanta and ClearBand (we'll get to that those in more detail), Plume, the recently rechristened National Content & Technology Association (NCTC) and Vidgo, a virtual multichannel video programming distributor (vMVPD) that competes in the market with the likes of YouTube TV, Hulu, Philo and Sling TV.Full disclosure – he and the crew at Bob Gold & Associates have pitched a ton of stories to me about many of them over the years. Bob and I don't always see eye-to-eye, but I've written about many of them over the years. And Gold did nominate me for the Cable TV Pioneers class of 2018, so perhaps I wasn't as big of a jerk to him, his staff and his clients over the years as I thought I was. Hey, I tried. Usually news tied to Gold has to do with a company he represents, but this time it's all about Bob – his agency recently turned 25-years-old. He got that up and running about the time I started writing about the industry and had to Google "DOCSIS" to figure out what the heck I was about to do my first story on.So, we've got a lot of industry stuff in common, enough that it made sense to get together on the podcast and hop in the "Wayback Machine" to reminisce about the last two decades-plus.You can download a lightly edited transcript of the podcast here. If you want to skip around and listen, here's a timestamped list of the convo: How Gold and the crew celebrated the silver anniversary. And, yes, a PR crisis did interfere (1:15) How Gold, whose background includes marketing and communications exec roles with major cable programmers, turned a disaster into a new career as the head of an agency that focused on the crazy world of tech – and other stuff (5:50) How a top exec of a company didn't even believe in a fiber-based product that was being pitching to the press (12:30) How startups like Incanta and ClearBand had great ideas about streaming TV to devices but were just too early with respect to tech or content rights… or both (14:00) How Gold pitched me on a cable theft story, and I royally screwed up the embargo and the bad guy got away (15:30) Which client was Gold's greatest completed Hail Mary (18:30) Why Dan Aykroyd was Gold's favorite celeb to work with, back when video-on-demand was just appearing on the cable scene (20:30) Why Gold, at one time, viewed Amazon Prime as the most infuriating organization (24:00) Gold's biggest gain. After the fact, he told me to add Plume to the list (26:44) Gold's proudest moment – next to being my guest on the podcast, of course (27:30)— Jeff Baumgartner, Senior Editor, Light Reading Hosted on Acast.

Season two kicks off with a look at how the sales are going at QVC, HSN, and ShopHQ in the second quarter of their fiscal years.  QVC is making some changes, many of which were suggested on this very podcast in season one.  There are new hosts at QVC, one fewer at ShopHQ, and where is Shaq?  Plus a quick tribute to an amazing pet, for whom the production company is named after.  

What are you watching? It's a question that tends to pop up among family, friends and coworkers. The water cooler may be a corporate relic, but thanks to the rise and popularity of free and paid streaming services, the video landscape is certainly rife with water cooler-worthy TV shows, series and movies. Perhaps too many. A startup called Glidr Inc. wants to help consumers cut through the clutter and zero in on content that their social media circles enjoy and recommend. It's trying to tackle that challenge with a free app that, following several months of testing, recently launched on Android and iOS devices. The general idea is to help consumers discover content they might be interested in watching and to help them manage the various streaming services they use and pay for. But rather than relying heavily on AI and machine learning techniques to surface and recommend content, Glidr's platform is powered in part by what a user's family and friends are watching and recommending."When your friend recommends something or your family member recommends something to watch, you're probably going to watch it," contends Glidr CEO Adam Tom, who recently joined the Light Reading Podcast to discuss the company and broader trend impacting the streaming sector. "There's all these great recommendation engines out there. But when your family or friend says something, that's really a strong recommendation." Glidr's ranks include vets from the cable industry and video tech industries. Adam Tom is late of Imedia, Terayon and RGB Networks (sold to Imagine Communications in 2015), and more recently was with Samsung, heading up North American engineering for smart TVs as well as engineering for Samsung's connected TV ad business. Also joining the podcast is Christopher Lee, Glidr's product director. Lee is a video engineering vet previously with Gemstar TV Guide and Comcast, where he aided in the development of products for the operator's X1 video platform. You can download a lightly edited transcript of the podcast here. If you want to skip around and listen, here are a few topics discussed during this podcast:An expansion into the background on the Glidr team and its ties to the cable and video tech industries (00:30)A discussion about the problems and challenges Glidr is trying to address with its direct-to-consumer app. (3:22) How Glidr is tapping into a user's circle of family and friends, rather than just AI and machine learning techniques, to deliver movie and TV recommendations. (5:30) How Glidr intends to help consumers manage and track their streaming subscriptions and provide a secure way to store and manage passwords in a central location (18:00) How Glidr expects its revenue model to evolve into areas such as marketing services and sponsorships as it scales up its user base (21:00) An update on Glidr's financial situation, including a recent investment from Goodwater Capital (27:10) A snapshot of the company's plans and priorities for the rest of 2022 and into 2023 (28:45) — Jeff Baumgartner, Senior Editor, Light Reading Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Saul Colt is the Founder and Creative Director at The Idea Integration Company. In his career he has been named as one of the iMEDIA 25: Internet Marketing Leaders & Innovators as well as been called one of Canada's best community builders/experiential marketers. NYT Best selling author and Internet Pioneer Chris Brogan once referred to Saul as “exactly who you want representing your company” and that message has been echoed by media properties ranging from Inc to Forbes Magazine.Takeaway points:The things that businesses do wrong in community building and influence: First, businesses confuse the audience for influence. They assume that an influence with a big number of following is a great choice to increase revenue. Where in fact, it's less about the audience and more about influencers. An influence who has 300 followers, but are the exact target you are looking for, and buy your products and services are just as valuable as half a million non-targeted followers.  The other thing - they get the definition of Influencer all wrong. There is no such thing as Influencer - with context. You cannot be influential globally across demographics.  Third: Business thinks that Influencer marketing is a magic bullet that will solve all the problems. Influence is only a part of a puzzle, part of marketing, part of PR promotion. When you work with influencers, you buy their following, but you don't own their following.  Find people who are already your customers. Find people who already love your product. Use your channels to amplify them to get more followers. Make your own customers or your influencers for them to stick around in years because they love your product and services.  Make sure to do your Influencer Marketing properly. As Influencers are taken as disposable, after having them to promote once or twice, they are gone.  The philosophy behind a Marketing Stunt is like a polite slap on your customer's face to wake them up. Have 3 to 4 great marketing stunts a year. These are designed to accelerate attention and think of what is next to be done.  Saul used an Apple as an example. He mentioned that the Iphone company knows when their company is getting boring. They know when to announce the next Iphone unit. It's all about owning the anticipation.  Influencer Marketing is a paid referral. Once you get the customer's attention, that is when you want to wow them, earn their trust, make them feel home and blow them away with your brand personality.  Listening is really important because that's where you get your insights. Listening is absolutely key. Listen, respond and create experience. It's all about human connection Be authentic, it has to be real. Authenticity builds community. Having someone with a magnetic personality in your team, replaces the budget. If you have money with someone magnetic, that is great. Products can be magnetic too.  How Covid affects building a community? Some communities got super tighter, more time in their hands. Some communities shrunk, turned off. Brands should start investing in a Word of Mouth experience now because people have been stuck at home and hungry for new experiences.Get connected with Saul Colt at www.theideaintegration.com

Post sale, he was a key account executive supporting the global field and inside sales organizations. Previously, he founded a web hosting company with his friend Husein while still in high school. Its sale (for $1.5m!) was negotiated while writing his senior year exams. Because of life circumstances, Rahim didn't end up going to a four-year college, or receiving his bachelors. A few years back, Rahim received an Empact 100 Award at the White House from Startup America and The Kauffman Foundation. Rahim was also named one of the Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30 in America by Inc.

We discussed how sales and business have changed in the new remote working environment. Rahim shares his advice for other tech founders embarking on a startup. We talk about his founder's story which began in high school. The mission of his new company SV Academy is to train underrepresented people in remote areas to be able to participate in business. Rahim also shares some of his biggest challenges as a founder.“It could be because they have some disability that might prevent them from being there in person. But they've got the motivation, they've got the skill, they've got the know-how, and they're able to create, like this really compelling experience for their prospect without ever leaving their home. And that is most definitely the direction we're headed. And I think it will become the new norm again, with some selective, selective in person.” - Rahim FazalToday on Startups for Good we cover:-The role family and extended family play for a founder-The changes in jobs as more companies utilize remote workers-Human centered skill sets-Training people in sales and how it has changed-How to deal with imposter syndrome as a founderConnect with Rahim on Twitter https://twitter.com/rahimthedream and find out more about SV Academy on Twitter https://twitter.com/SVAhq and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/svahq/ and their website https://sv.academySubscribe, Rate & Share Your Favorite Episodes!Thanks for tuning into today's episode of Startups For Good with your host, Miles Lasater.

Rick Parkhill joins the show to talk about his time as the founder and prior CEO of iMedia Communications, which launched in 2001. Rick talks about how iMedia helped build community and produced an event where everyone was encouraged to drop their agendas and just connect for the greater good of the industry. Rick was a founding executive at Interactive Marketing, Inc. and founded Digitrends, along with InfoText and Brand Storytelling.   Takeaways: ● iMedia emerged in the midst of the internet explosion in 1999 when many of the internet companies washed away. ● Their first day of business was September 11, 2001, and after that major tragedy, they moved forward with building jobs for people and creating commerce for the community. ● Although he will never take all the credit, Rick definitely helped build the digital marketing industry, along with the help of many other iMedia longtime moguls. ● Rick discusses doing a roadshow for clients to explain what search was, and how it would impact them. ● The iMedia events were a space where people were invited to leave their agendas behind and connect in a nonpolitical realm. ● Rick handles big egos like none other, and he has some pretty good stories about them at iMedia events! ● Rick sold iMedia, and it did change in the way of personality and feel, but that is to be expected anytime a sale takes place. ● There are still a plethora of opportunities out there for content creators to get hired by brands. They are constantly looking for professionals to create entertaining and informative material for their product or service.   Quotes: ● “There are massive egos at play, like entitled obnoxious jerks, like me!” — Kevin  ● “We were true to our mission, to help the industry grow in a healthy way.” ● “You serve the community, and as an event producer your industry will do fine.”   Mentioned in This Episode: iMedia  Rick Parkhill LinkedIn Brand Storytelling

Check out this episode where I have a chat and a whisky with Ryf Quail, Managing Director of Comexposium for Australia and New Zealand. Ryf has a super impressive career across publishing, media, marketing and digital. A business man and entrepreneur, and most importantly, he is a great guy. We chat about whisky, what keeps him going, what brings him mindfulness, his thoughts around search, the retail dominator that is Amazon and the trends coming through in retail. A few favourites:   1. Brands diversifying Ryf "It's really about so much changes going on and how data is really informing so much. I mean, Crayola has launched a makeup brand.  Me "Crayola, the crayons?" Ryf "Yes. It doesn't sound very intuitive, but obviously, they know something about their customers and say, They'd buy makeup." Me "Actually, I think it makes complete sense because if you've seen some of these makeup tutorials, it looks like these girls are putting crayons on their face." Ryf "I think we should start at the positive place." 2. How will google play in voice search? Ryf "Google dominates search. It still dominates search because it's product is better than anyone else, right? And no one really can surpass them in that text-based search. That's fantastic. But voices come along, and it's very hard for me to look at that model and go, Is there a commercial model around voice? Now Amazon's got voice, but they don't need a cost per click generated model because everything that they ask for on Amazon points to their store. So it's the utility that drives the retail purchase. Whereas Google doesn't have anything behind it. Their whole transaction's around the search transaction."   3.Stalky Ads Ryf "I think that whole tech space is a bit like — and I use this analogy a lot — It's a bit like, when the library puts in a system to stop you from taking books out, you threw the books out the window to get around the system.... the point is, it's no different, say 30% of Australians, now thats a finger in the air number, are using ad blockers. Now, one of the big claims that native ads is that it doesn't get blocked. Me "Do you think thats going to grow?" Ryf "Yes, lets take a step back. One of the biggest failings of the ad industry digitally is that the ads are shit. So the consumer's gone, I don't want to see them. So therefore I am going to put in blocking software. And, they are either creatively bad or they're creepy in the way they behave because they're being a bit stalky."

How else can social media be used to maximize its power to market a particular brand? The concept of social media enablement seems like a novel approach. But at Adobe, employees themselves have been empowered to build their own personal brands while playing a big and active role for Adobe as it integrates social media into every aspect of its business operations.  Apparently, customers have more trust for the average employee when they are active on social media. And, they can be a profound source of expertise for Adobe. Adobe has recognized their employees' crucial role with clients and are actively training them to represent the brand. In this episode, Adobe's Lauren Friedman shares how. Lauren Friedman is foremost a writer, social marketing strategist, and head of Adobe's Social Business Enablement. Lauren started out with a social marketing company called Context Optional before she landed at Adobe in 2011 after two acquisitions.  At first, she managed Consulting Services and then in 2013 joined the Social Business Center of Excellence. She ensures that social media is infused in every aspect of Adobe's business and developed the Global Social Media Training Program for its employees. Lauren was recognized in 2015 as iMedia 25's top marketing innovator and also specializes in content strategy for Fortune 100/500 brands, international business, quantitative and qualitative reporting and analytics, and social network strategy.  In this Episode: How Lauren started in a startup social media marketing company and got into Adobe through an acquisition How social enablement is defined for Adobe employees in line with its social media business integration How customers trust company employees more to represent real product insights that influence their purchase decisions How social enablement can be applied as both a B2B and B2C strategy for small and large companies The four categories of the social enablement program at Adobe including mindset, tool set, skill set, and habit How companies are implementing this concept of social enablement more than traditional advertising Guiding principles for use in social media branding How to define your purpose and rationale for adapting social enablement as a company and how to start

Our January meetup was billed as a debate between Taylor Chadwick of What It Is against Andrea Beça of That's So Maven on how long a podcast should be. "Debate" turned out to be a bit of a strong term. As Taylor says at one point, "it sounds like we're just going to agree the whole time." I accept responsibility. Everyone's just so nice. They do come from different points of view on what works for the length of their own shows. The sweet spot for What It Is — an arts interview show that Taylor does with Chris Cook and Brian Bergum — is 70 minutes. That's So Maven — a show for, by and about female entrepreneurs that Andrea does with Lauren Dary — is about half an hour. Both have sound reasons for that, which you'll hear in the podcast, along with the following points: How your content and format dictate length; How the growth of podcasting has made shorter shows more common; Audience feedback on length and what to do with it; Batch recording vs time-sensitive recording; Preparation vs editing for controlling length. You'll also hear questions and comments from Troy Pavlek of Basket of Yegs, Brandon Schatz of Yegs and Bacon and Doctor Whooch, Nick McQuik of The Quik and Slow Comedy Show, and Chris Chang-Yen Phillips of Let's Find Out. Incidentally, I usually like to keep my podcast to less than half an hour, but this one was so full of good stuff that it's pushing 50 minutes. I guess you win this round,Taylor.  This episode is also available in iTunes, on Google Play, on SoundCloud or on Stitcher. For even more on the art of podcasting, listen to Taylor's conversation with Andrea along with Adam Rozenhart of The Expats and German Villegas of The Modern Manhood Podcast. Many thanks to Edmonton Opera for sending one of our audience members to Cinderella (remember that Elektra is coming in March!). Thanks to Variant Edition for their hospitality, and to CafeRista for the treats. Shout-out to Edmojis, too.  Our next Edmonton Podcasting Meetup is on Saturday, Feb. 25, at Variant Edition. The topic is "How to get started, Part 2," and we'll be drawing on the experience of the team behind The Broadcast, which was in development at our first meetup on getting started, and is now a real thing. Register to attend here. This episode of Seen and Heard in Edmonton is brought to you by Castria, where award-winning podcasters help you take your podcast from idea to reality. Castria's Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky will be on a panel about podcasting at iMedia on March 11. If you miss them there, find them at wearecastria.com.

Meet Tyler Butler, the always-learning digital marketing strategist and musician who explores social media on the new podcast Don’t Call Me A Guru. Don't Call Me A Guru is a monthly conversation about social media strategy between Tyler, who works at MacEwan University, and Linda Hoang, who used to work at NAIT and now works at Calder Bateman. They met kibbitzing with each other online, and now we get to listen in on their "conversations we would have had anyway," and learn a lot about social media in the process. Tyler also produces Clock Radio, a podcast that tells stories about staff and students at MacEwan. It started because there seemed to be a lot of good stuff left over from stories done for the MacEwan website, and it has turned into quite an interesting show, whether you have anything to do with MacEwan or not. Music is responsible for getting Tyler into social media in the first place. Facebook events turned out to be a powerful tool to get people to shows, and he also experimented with some crazy content marketing of sorts for Old Ugly, a beloved local label. You'll hear all about that in this episode, along with how time-consuming yet necessary editing is; how to get internal buy-in for a podcast within an organization; the power of planning; the necessity of setting attainable goals; and much more. This episode is also available in iTunes, on Google Play, on SoundCloud or on Stitcher. Tyler made the following recommendations: Writer and filmmaker Lizzie Derksen's website; The Edmonton City as Museum Project, both the podcast and the blog; Let's Find Out, historian laureate Chris Chang-Yen Phillips's podcast; Doug Hoyer, the musician who has written many Edmonton podcast theme songs (and who launches his latest album on Feb. 11 at the Empress); The Expats, Adam Rozenhart's interview show with Canadians abroad, including his episode with Doug Hoyer! You can find Don't Call Me A Guru on iTunes, Google Play and SoundCloud, and is coming soon to Stitcher. The show is @dontcallmeaguru on Twitter and Instagram. Clock Radio is on iTunes, Google Play and SoundCloud. You can find Tyler himself at @tylerjackbutler on Instagram and Twitter, and that's his name on Snapchat, too. Also, both Tyler and Linda are speaking at the iMedia social media conference on March 10 and 11, so if you want to soak up their wisdom in real life, you should go! This week’s Seen and Heard in Edmonton is brought to you by Taproot Edmonton, a source of curiosity-driven stories about the city, cultivated by the community. In this episode, you’ll hear about a couple of stories that tackle the way we see pedestrian safety in this city, and the consequences of that approach. Taproot just released another story, this one on Indigenous place names in Edmonton. Check it out, and if you’d like to put more such work into the world, join Taproot.

Hello everyone, thank you for joining us.. My name is Daryl Urbanski - your host as always.. and today we are joined by a very special man.. A man who has been recognized with many awards for his accomplishments, Brian Wong.   You may know him or recognize his name from being:   One of Canada's “Top 20 Under 20” One of Business Insider's “Top 25 Under 25 in Silicon Valley,” One of Forbes' “30 under 30” for three years now One of Mashable's “Top 5 Entrepreneurs to Watch”   Plus being featured on other noteworthy lists such as   iMedia “25” AdAge “Creativity Top 50” The “30 Under 30 in Advertising” and “18 Most Important People in Mobile Advertising”.  His company has generated over $10million dollars while helping everyone around the table.. Himself, his investors, his employees, partners and of course, the end mobile users.. His company Kiip (pronounced “keep”) redefines how brands connect with consumers through a rewards platform that targets “achievement moments” in mobile games and apps. So your coupon or whatever, is offered as a reward once they beat a level or finish their 3-mile run. This is done with something Brian calls: “Moments-based marketing” as he believes, when it comes to mobile advertising, impressions & click-through rates are ‘stale' metrics'. This innovative approach to mobile marketing creates meaningful engagements between users, developers and advertisers. And he must be onto something as his company is thriving in an industry where the vast majority are not. His company Kiip has been recognized by Forbes as one of the “4 Hot Online Ad Companies to Put on Your Watch List,” plus the Dow Jones “FasTech50” and listed on Fast Company's “50 Most Innovative Companies.” And if as if that wasn't impressive enough, Brian received his Bachelor of Commerce from the University of British Columbia at age 18, after skipping four grades between kindergarten and graduating high school. He was also once the youngest person to ever receive venture capital funding. Today he's here to tell us about the future of mobile advertising and his ‘moments-based marketing' as well as answer questions to important challenges many of you listening might be facing.. Things from how to get financing in today's fundraising environment, how to build & scale a sales team.. or if you're just starting out, how to get your first customers and some monetization strategies… Brian, thank you for joining us today.. How're you doing my friend?   --- Mission Statement: My mission is to create 200 new multi-millionaire business owners who solve world problems with entrepreneurship. How? You'll do better when you know better.   Would it help you to have a mentor who can cut your learning curve by sharing their mistakes with you so you could avoid them? Would it help you to talk to that mentor and learn how they shifted their mindset to allow success to happen in the first place? Would it help you to hear them talk to other high-level entrepreneurs about their journeys, their mistakes and how they overcame their challenges to create the lives and financial success they desire? The Best Business Podcast was created for you to have all this in one place. If you like it, please subscribe, give an honest review and share with a friend you think will benefit so I may serve you both together.   "Your success is my success." -- Daryl Urbanski

Dr. J's guest co-host Spider Graham invited Kevin M. Ryan to join in discussing the book they wrote together, Taking Down Goliath: The Digital Marketing Strategy for Beating Competitors with 100 Time Your Spending Power. Listening to this show is a great way to get to know the authors of this book, which begins with some goal clarification work to lay the basis for developing strategy and learning the tactics of using particular digital tools. Kevin explains his desire to write a cross-disciplinary, holistic guide for small businesses in contrast to the many narrowly focused marketing books that were readily available. By emphasizing overall strategy and providing many examples, the book makes it possible to see where the various digital channels can play a role in marketing within a limited budget. Because of the Internet, anyone can now engage with potential customers, finding out what their needs and interests are. It is no longer necessary to have deep pockets to film an infomercial—YouTube is available. You can invite viewers to let you know by posting comments what they think of your message. Because of search engines and alerts, you can find almost anyone commenting about your product or service and respond to comments, whether they be positive or critical. Personal interaction takes time but is an excellent way of fostering “organic growth.” While Goliath-like companies can spend fortunes reaching wide, general audiences, the Davids use shrewd reasoning to identify a small target and deliver precisely aimed, individually tailored messages. And that is where digital marketing excels. Kevin Ryan founded the strategic consulting firm Motivity Marketing in April, 2007. Kevin is known throughout the world as an interactive marketing thought leader, particularly in the search marketing arena. Today's Motivity is a group of professionals  focused on thought leadership, innovation and exacting tactical execution in a modern digital advertising agency environment.
