Podcasting may seem intimidating at first...

..but like blog posts, podcasts follow the same pillars of inbound marketing.

A great starting point is adapting the adage "write what you know" to "speak what you know." And what you know best is, hopefully, your brand. Creating a branded podcast is the perfect opportunity to produce educational content for an audience of people who want to know what your business does.

B2B brands can also use podcasts to raise awareness for the problems they solve, and the solutions they can offer using original content in a fun, accessible format. We’ll help you figure out how -- from start to finish -- or provide a la carte services to augment the skills your marketing team may already have in house. 

The Process

In order to remain nimble and cater to client needs, services are offered a la carte or in packages. In addition to services in producing your business podcast, we can help your company find existing guest podcast opportunities for your executive team and thought leaders -- increasing brand awareness and ultimately lead generation.

Strategy & Concepting

Strategy & Concepting

Our strategy and concept services will help you define and structure your podcast program to align with your marketing objectives, and define an execution plan that will fit your timelines and budget. 

We’ll start with a working session to understand and define the target audience, your goals and KPIs for the podcast, and then conduct keyword and competitive research that will help inform the content and positioning of the podcast. We’ll then work with you to define the overall frequency, and choose an appropriate host and format of the show.

Finally, we will suggest a promotional plan that will work with your budget and reach the target audiences we have identified. The end goal of this stage is a thorough brief that can be shared internally to your company for review and approvals before embarking on your new podcast series.

Branding Package

Branding Package

Our podcast branding package will help you define the look and feel for your podcast program in a way that appeals to your target audience. Is the podcast serious or fun? Quirky or Introspective?

The end products for this phase of our project will be a podcast name, a logo, cover art, boilerplate descriptions, an identified soundtrack(s), a landing page design, an email design, and social media graphics that will be used for episode promotion.
