Folks - I understand that attributing podcast listenership or distribution to awareness-based traffic to your business might be a dark art at this point. How do you folks build the case for investing time and resources into launching the first 10-15 episodes of a podcast series? I am assuming it is no different from build the case for an inbound content strategy, but how do you prove the market for it?

Hey @Renga Padmanabhan. At this point, it is hard to measure. If you’re building a case for the investment it requires, you’re right that it is largely like other content strategies - though it does generally build more credibility than a blog would as you’re bringing on outside guests for every episode. Imagine if your blog was strictly guest posts from influential figures? The impact would be significant. Between that and the freedom to communicate how you want without being subject to Google’s algorithms and worrying about SEO, it’s worth exploring at the very least for just about every b2b brand.
