Step-by-Step Podcasting For Business is a new book designed to help businesses get to grips with the world of audio marketing and communication, out now in ebook and print.
In recent years, many UK business and organisations have embraced podcasts as an exciting and growing opportunity to connect with customers, audiences and individuals in depth.
This book aims to support those making the leap with a no-nonsense overview of planning, strategy and production, as well as guidance on how to market and experiment with your podcast content.
Whether the goal of the project is to educate, entertain or to shift perceptions, audio can be a powerful tool for businesses to incorporate into a wider communications strategy.
Author Katharine Kerr says it’s never been more important for creators to speak from the heart:
“In turbulent times, discerning podcast listeners value quality programmes that connect them to our shared human experience. Original, surprising, gripping or delightful audio can be the remedy to our intense, screen-heavy world.”
Step by Step Podcasting For Business guides the reader through the key questions each business should ask itself before launching a podcast. With a strong emphasis on strategic planning and clear goal-setting, the book guides businesses through the different tasks and insight required to kick-start a podcast campaign.
It also outlines some practical basics of production and recording, so that beginner podcast creators can explore options and feel empowered to hire in professional help or get hands-on in house.
“The human voice, sound and our imaginations the most powerful communication tools we have available. They allow us to connect with an individual’s real decision-making engine: emotion”
For businesses just beginning their journey, as well as those who want to add strategy and insight to their output, this book aims to demystify the world of podcasts and help decision-makers confidently choose where to invest time and energy.
