#186: All aboard the branded podcast train!


All aboard the branded podcast train!

We’re still on the Branded Podcast Train. And we can promise you it’s a super fun ride! But as more brands embrace podcasting as a marketing tool, there’s a lot to consider before a branded podcast can leave the station. 🚂

And so we wanted to dig a bit deeper into what it takes to launch a successful branded podcast.

Over on our blog, The Podcast Digest, this week, we put together a go-to guide for starting a branded podcast, specially focusing on how to start a podcast that accurately represents your brand, and accomplishes the goals you want to achieve through your show.

🔗You can find the link to that guide below.

But for this newsletter, we wanted to share three 🔑KEY🔑 fundamentals when it comes to launching a podcast that will truly represent your brand and strengthen your brand identity:

1️⃣ Branded Podcasts Build Trust

A branded podcast isn't just a marketing tool; it's a powerful way to strengthen your brand identity amongst your target audience, build authority, and foster authentic connections with your followers.

But you want to focus on sharing valuable content, rather than thinking about a branded podcast as one long sales pitch. The former builds trust. 👍 The latter loses listeners.👎

2️⃣ Purpose and Planning are Key

“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Yes, that’s one of the cliché-est clichés. But it is also very true when it comes to launching a successful branded podcast.

Way before you ever hit “record”, you need to define the purpose of your podcast. You need to ensure that your show aligns with your brand’s values, has a clear concept, and that you have a plan for consistently delivering valuable content that’s still “on brand”.

Remember✨ Successful branded podcasts provide real value, not just promotional content.

3️⃣ High-Quality Production is Essential

And finally, whatever format you choose, and however you use your show to further your brand, one thing remains constant...branded podcasts must deliver high-quality episodes. This is a non-negotiable!

There is just no way a branded podcast can fulfill its mission with subpar audio.

We can’t sugar coat this.

But we can help you achieve it! 😉👇

Branded podcasts are an incredible way to boost your brand’s authority, build deeper connections, and foster a community around your brand.

And when they’re done well, they can even open up brand new doors. 😉
