SQPN: The Best In Catholic Podcasting

Written by Igor Beuker on January 3rd, 2008 | 1 comment

It might sound strange to you, but the Catholic Church is blogging and podcasting in a phenomenal way! This concept by the Catholic Church should really win a Webby Award! And yes, like many brands the Catholic Church is losing loyal customers. Like many brands, the Catholic Church has trouble reaching it’s target group, since also the media behavior of modern catholic consumers is switching to online dramatically.

But, unlike many brands, the Catholic Church has adjusted it’s behavior dramatically. Just take a look at Star Quest Production Network (SQPN), founded by Dutch Fr. Roderick Vonhögen, Chief Executive Officer of SQPN. The Board of Directors are doing everything in interactive marketing in a great way.
