Tween Favorite Hilary Duff Video Podcasting
Feb 7th, 2007 | By James Lewin | Category: Corporate Podcasts, Digital Video Downloads, Video PodcastsFormer Disney star and tween favorite Hilary Duff is joining the ranks of video podcasters with her Hilary Duff Video Podcast.
Unfortunately, instead of offering tween geeks the style of family entertainment people associate with the star, the video podcast is little more than an advertisement for Hilary Duff branded merchandise. Adding insult to injury, Duff doesn’t even appear in the current episode.
As a result, the Hilary Duff Video Podcast is a corporate podcast that actually hurts the star’s brand, rather than helps it. The podcast insults the intelligence and preys on their goodwill of Duff’s fans.
As a result, the Hilary Duff Video Podcast is a classic example of a corporate video podcast done wrong.
Ugh. There goes three minutes of my life I’ll never get back again. Add that to the two hours I wasted taking the tweens to see “Material Girls” last summer, and… well, I think I’ve reached my lifetime threshhold of Hilary Duff. Aren’t her fifteen minutes of fame long elapsed already?
