Assessment of Other Projects



       The top three proposed media outlets were “You, Me & Brie,” “Share Your Obit,” and “Comedy Hub,” in that order. “You, Me & Brie” was the top proposed project because of its feasibility in reaching and providing for its target audience. Realistically, cheese-makers and wineries do not have a centralized source to promote their product, and this website does precisely that. Although morbid, “Share Your Obit” also has much potential because, once again, it fills a hole in the market. As long as it keeps things positive and allows viewers to commemorate their loved ones happily, then it will be able to obtain a large following. “Comedy Hub” also has the potential to succeed because, although it certainly will have its fair share of competitors, it is an established market with a tangible audience right now. As the blog’s founder pointed out in her pitch, “college students, twenty-something’s at work, and your dad” are always looking up funny videos on YouTube, why not make things even simpler by having it all on one site? The only concern I have is that, unlike the first aforementioned proposals, “Comedy Hub” will have to have a large staff and, moreover, already has competition.
