I have always been apprehensive about brands entering the podcast space to create corporate shows without strong guidance from experts. They usually end up as a 30-minute infomercial for their products or services. I am fascinated by the listeners who actively choose to follow brands, and I wanted to learn more about the intricate workings of branded podcasts. So I invited Fatima Zaidi, Founder, and CEO of Quill Podcasting, to share her expertise.
"Podcasting is a very new space. And so, just getting to the finish line is such an education process for bigger brands who are so used to putting out content on blogs, maybe YouTube channels, social media, but people still don't necessarily really understand the power of podcasting." Fatima is moving the needle in terms of elevating branded podcasts. Her team has helped many brands to identify their niche within their competitive matrix.
"I never recommend creating a podcast purely for sales purposes. Typically, it can have a significant impact on sales and lead generation. Still, the goal of creating a podcast is to tell your brand's story and position yourself as a thought leader and subject matter expert. And first and foremost, the priority should be to educate, inform, and entertain your audience."
Fatima talks about what it takes to build a branded podcast. What occurs behind the scenes, and why early adopters will see great success in the future.
