MommyCast Talks Tips and Secrets to Sponsorship from Dixie and Others, in Featured Interview with Marketing Advisor, Aquent
Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- Aquent, the world’s largest staffing firm specializing in solutions for creative and marketing organizations, announced today its in-depth interview with Paige Heninger and Gretchen Vogelzang, co-hosts and founders of wildly popular show, MommyCast, sponsored by Dixie. Paige and Gretchen candidly discuss their Dixie sponsorship, their sponsorship by pre-term labor testing company, Cytyk, Nestle Foods, and many others, giving helpful tips on the decision to move in a sponsorship direction vs. an advertising model.
The interview, with Matthew T. Grant, PhD, Aquent Minister of Enlightenment, focused on the mom oriented podcast series as the next wave of communications tools for marketers and advertisers. The interview can be found on Apple’s iTunes, The Talent Blog Podcast and at: http://thetalentblog.net/
Dr. Grant hailed MommyCast as the "way to communicate with busy people, uninterested in traditional media.” Dr. Grant went on to say, “A lot of marketing and PR professionals are still trying to figure out how best to leverage the potential of blogs and podcasts. These folks could learn a lot from listening to Paige and Gretchen. Not only do they understand that the power of the MommyCast lies in the personal connection they’ve established with their listeners, they very articulately describe what works and what doesn’t when marketers try to tap into that connection.”
The interview was a real pleasure for Paige and Gretchen, who both expressed their opinions about traditional advertising and the subtle difference in what MommyCast has offered since doing their first podcast in 2005.
According to Paige Heninger, “Moms are the decision makers of the household when it comes to purchasing power and entertainment.” “Moms can only be reached effectively by communicators who they related to, and are genuine.” Gretchen Vogelzang went on to say, “Moms are a moving target and podcasting is the perfect way to capture them. It moves with moms.”
