One message, many media: the varied impact of your content across channels, with RJ Licata

Episode 165

Did you know that how your message is received is mainly dependent on where people received it? This is a fact of life in an era that’s framed by paid, earned, shared and owned channels, best known in its acronym form as the PESO framework.

Focusing in on what we want our brand to be known for, we’re soon hit with the reality that the same content plays differently when it’s issued in a corporate release versus an influencer’s social post versus a customer’s review versus a direct message that’s sent from someone we know. 

We have limited control in many of these settings, and because of the sway gigantic Silicon Valley companies have, even the media channels that let us publish content  aren’t giving us enough control for us to say we really own those properties. 

So how do we  tune our content for these channels, so each one has the greatest impact on our audience? 

Our guest says that only after we accept the degrees of control afforded to us by different channels, can we align our content with what each of them does best.

This concept is called Owned Asset Optimization
