#SGGQA 107: Creator Chat – Production, PR, and Movies with Enobong Etteh from BooredAtWork

I’ve said it before, and I’ll likely say it again, but change is in the air. Friends and colleagues in the world of online content creation, we all seem to be looking at where we each fit. Some are focusing on an individual platform, while others, like my guest for this podcast, are spreading the wealth, and finding audiences around the web.

It shouldn’t come as any major surprise that one of the main reasons I like hosting these interviews, getting to spend more time chatting with my friends. For online producers, the people we meet on social media quickly become our work pals and colleagues.

I worked with Enobong Etteh from Booredatwork, for months online before we got to meet at a trade show, and we continued collaborating for years after on podcasts and gadget reviews. We regularly ramble on about technology, pr relationships, and always manage to get side tracked by our fandom for film and TV.  Enobong took some time to chat about his experiences working online, and where he might consider taking his channel next.

That’s enough from me, let’s jump into a little love fest with my best online buddy.
