With streaming audiences expected to surpass broadcast audiences this fall, public television stations faced a future where they no longer had to compete with six or seven channels, but now had to compete in a digital marketplace against Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0080fd4eddec1a50b9e09a/3ae9f0a1-d45c-4a9f-8c54-0d16e8fb8e91/Ryan+Cudney+Headshot.JPG Prior Meetings - Ryan Cudney, General manager Pacific NW, Edelman Who do you trust? Trust defines an organization’s license to operate, lead and succeed. Trust is the foundation that allows an organization to take responsible risk, and, if it makes mistakes, to rebound from them. Lasting trust is the strongest insurance against competitive or internal disruption, the antidote to consumer indifference, and the best path to continued growth. Without trust, credibility is lost and reputation can be threatened. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0080fd4eddec1a50b9e09a/33e15258-3ceb-423d-8ea9-e53f33f1c728/BillyC895+board.JPG Prior Meetings - Billy Thompson, Director of corporate support, C89.5 Welcome to reimagining Radio.

Erwert will share the communications and marketing strategies driving that engagement and what The Times has learned through these efforts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0080fd4eddec1a50b9e09a/a0317121-7512-4b2f-b51b-bd277ed75da1/Unknown-2.jpeg Prior Meetings - Jon Scholes, President Downtown SEattle Association Dynamic urban centers provide economic, cultural, and community benefits.
