SPOS #393 – Content Shock With Shel Holtz And Mark W. Schaefer

Welcome to episode #393 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. Here is the definition of Content Shock from Mark W. Schaefer: “Content Shock is the emerging marketing epoch defined when exponentially increasing volumes of content intersects our limited human capacity to consume it.” In short, it’s getting more and more expensive and difficult for brands to create content in a world where consumers have a finite time to consume it all. Do you believe in this or do you not? Schaefer presented this theory (something I have blogged about on countless occasions with my own spin) on his Grow Blog earlier this month. That blog post has since generated over 300 comments and tons of diverse feedback. Shel Holtz (famed communications professional and one of the voices behind the long-running podcast, For Immediate Release – The Hobson And Holtz Report) took exception to the theory of Content Shock in a blog post titled, Six Reasons There Will Be No Content Shock. It felt like this could be a very interesting three-way debate. I hope it doesn’t disappoint. Enjoy the conversation…
