Why Commission or Sponsor a Podcast?

The growth in UK podcast listening over the past 5 years has been extraordinary, making it an incredibly attractive medium-term ‘bet’ for any organisation’s marketing potential.

From a virtually non-existent base in 2015, 18% of British adults – over 10.1 million people – now listen to podcasts every week.

Increasingly, organisations are finding podcasts to be a great value marketing tool with which to:

• Boost digital media: Podcast episodes are original, engaging content which can be used across all social media platforms, blogs and newsletters.
• Expand existing networks: Key Opinion Leaders and industry influencers are more likely to accept an invitation to be a guest on a relevant podcast than they are to have a conventional meeting.
• Establish expertise in a particular sector:  The involvement of industry experts onto a podcast, brands can secure an organisation's position as a trusted expert within their field of expertise.
• Strengthen customer relationship: podcasts offer a different, intimate experience in a way that press releases and social media cannot. Customers can enjoy podcast content while they commute, take part in leisure pursuits or while undertaking household chores.
