How to Produce a Break-Through Podcast for Your Brand

by Rachel Bykowski

April 18, 2023

Forging Customer Connections with Podcasts

According to eMarketer, there will be approximately 144 million monthly podcast listeners in the U.S. alone by 2026. And with 43% of B2B and B2C decision-makers reporting they get their thought leadership content from podcasts along with e-newsletters and webinars (Sapio Research), it's hard to think of a reason why brands should not launch a podcast.

However, we need to be honest, a lot of available thought leadership content is just not that good. In fact, only 33% of thought leadership producers believe that the overall quality of their content is very good or excellent. And that number drops to 29% among execs, according to a 2022 report by Edelman and LinkedIn. So, how can a brand develop a podcast that breaks through a saturated market to produce content that is rooted in genuine expertise?
