Given the wealth of available podcast programmes, businesses should take a strategic approach to utilise this fast-growing medium to ensure it reaches the right audience and amplifies its message effectively.
This blog outlines three key ways to leverage podcasts as part of your integrated communications efforts.
Choose the right programme
Many podcasts, particularly those in Thailand, only accept paid collaborations. The key to convincing your leaders of this investment is selecting a show that aligns with your brand’s values and key messages and is consumed by your target demographic.
When done correctly, the paid partnership creates opportunities to integrate your brand messaging into the natural flow of the conversation. Associating your brand with trusted hosts helps build credibility. Ensuring the chosen podcast’s tone and audience fit your business well is key to creating the desired impact and connection.
Repurposing podcast content for your owned and shared channels
Your interview with a podcast host can be repurposed across your owned and shared channels, from social media to blogs. For example, key insights from a podcast interview can be transformed into bite-sized video or audio clips for your LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook pages.
Quotes or highlights from an episode can also be crafted into engaging blog posts or infographics. By repackaging podcast content, businesses can keep the conversation going long after the podcast airs, extending the value of the original content and reaching a wider audience.
Take control of your narrative
Launching your own podcast is a powerful way to take complete control of your narrative. As a
host, you can shape the content and invite guests that align with your editorial direction. This also allows for deep dives into topics that matter most to your audience, demonstrating your brand’s expertise and commitment to providing value.
By running your own podcast, you can build a loyal following and position your brand as a trusted source of information in the long run by offering fresh insights and fostering meaningful connections with listeners through consistent discussions with industry experts.
By leveraging podcasts, businesses can connect with their audience in a more authentic and engaging way, ultimately enhancing their brand’s visibility and influence.
