We start this first, albeit late, Edition with an outlook on growth for branded podcasting in 2024, and how its potential compares with the recent performance of other marketing vehicles. We continue talking about two key trends: the use of video and diverse voices for your Episodes, and end with tips about how to look and sound great in both podcasting and virtual meeting environments.
Enjoy your Nuggets!
Now that we’re a couple months into 2024, marketing executives are working with budgets that have either been set or are just being finalized. But effective marketing responds to what’s working and what’s not, and smart organizations should revamp their content vehicles choices if something isn’t firing on all cylinders.
So, as the year starts off, are you already (or still) experiencing “content clutter”? Content has become ubiquitous, but many communication methods are still static, text-based, and transaction-oriented. Branded podcasting is the antithesis of these descriptors; it is dynamic, multi-media, and customer relationship oriented. This is one of the reasons we believe 2024 will be a growth year for the medium, and if you’re not yet on the train, it’s worth considering moving some budget items around to start your podcast journey.
