While podcasts aren’t anything new, their popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, most notably during the pandemic. However, given the variety of marketing outlets available, it’s easy to rely solely on those most familiar to you. But guest-starring on a podcast can do your brand wonders – like catering to niche markets, building audience rapport, and so much more. That’s why COO Julia Becker Collins and Communications Manager Catrina Gardner devoted the latest Business Bootcamp webinar to demystifying the art of marketing with podcasts.
What You’ll Learn About Marketing with Podcasts
Public speaking engagement went out the window with the arrival of COVID. Those who relied on in-person networking to raise awareness of their brand had to turn to alternative means of getting their voice heard. They needed a pivot plan that strictly involved digital communication. In this webinar, COO Julia Becker Collins and Communications Manager Catrina Gardner will offer podcast marketing tips such as:
- Landing guest-speaking gigs on podcasts relevant to your industry
- Building relationships with people within the podcast circuit to establish new networks
- Generating hype before a podcast’s release and offering freebies to increase listenership
- Repurposing podcast interviews using blogs, social media, and your website
- Creating a media kit and bio to send to podcast hosts seeking guest speakers
- Conducting proper podcast etiquette, whether on an audio or video platform
You’ll also be informed of useful resources to find podcasts to guest on and learn scheduling techniques to prevent miscommunication with hosts.
