Those tracking the uptake of podcasting, such as Triton, Edison Research and Podtrac, have encouraged advertisers to embrace the medium, especially since it hit critical mass of 100 million+ monthly listeners! But what about brands who want their OWN podcast for B2B purposes? In 15 minutes I’ll walk you through the WHY and the HOW of creating a B2B podcast for your company. And if you’re still overwhelmed let me know and we’ll handle it all for you! Here’s the scoop and the Episode 5 topline: Why a B2B podcast? You have to be everywhere your customer may be, including in their ears, even if you’re speaking to a vendor, an agency or a potential new hire. “Picture a company’s most savvy seller whispering about a value proposition in the prospect’s ear”! Humanize an executive to drive trust and transparency Leverage the best platform for explanatory journalism! Attract employees by painting an audio picture of the company environment, like Xandr did with their Unsponsored Content show, or provide a thought-provoking platform to spotlight divisions or clients, such as the Floor 9 podcast from IPG Media Lab does! Caveats: Expectations should be managed: this is a longtail marketing tactic with a limited pool of listeners Start with the strategy! WHO do you want to have listen? WHY? WHAT with your content me? As Gimlet Managing Director, Matt Lieber, was cited, “What makes for a successful branded podcast are a lot of the things that make for a successful podcast period. If a brand wants to make a commercial that’s 20 minutes long, it will fail.” The What: Most B2B podcasts are interview style, except for those companies who may have a high-profile personality at the helm. (Think Gary Vee of Vayner Media!) What informative content is endemic to your brand’s expertise? (Example: ReWork podcast on productivity, from SaaS platform Basecamp). Recording a B2B podcast for A+E and The Knot How will you grow your podcast to help you grow business? (Example: The Wealth Without Wall Street team invites high profile guests , like Pat Flynn, in their work wheelhouse, and appear as guests on other podcasts, too like this episode of Dave Jackson’s School of Podcasting!) The HOW: It starts with your microphone! There are lots of suggestions you can easily Google, but here’s a snapshot: You might have had a studio at your offices...even an editor... but as we #WFH think bedroom! Think closet! Think where can you find sound absorption...Listen to Shelly Palmer’s advice to me and the sound difference in Epi 2 of Insider Interviews. You can record on an editing platform like Squadcast or Descript... then you’ll need to UPLOAD the audio file to a hosting site. If you want to try Blubrry use MOSSAPPEAL as your promo code for a discount, or look at Libsyn, BuzzSprout, Captivate and more. ..MARKET THYSELF! More hints and suggestions are in this 15 minute dump and download, from my experience to you. And again, I’m here to help. If you’re in the media/marketing world with a senior executive who is guest-worthy please drop me a line or reach out on social media! If you want help creating your own podcast from scratch, happy to exec produce or host! LMK! E.B.

Alex Blumberg made his early career by helping build two of the most successful shows in radio and podcasting: Planet Money and This American Life. In 2014, convinced that podcasts could make money, he walked away from the safe umbrella of public media to start a new media company with co-founder Matt Lieber. Every doubt, triumph and humiliation of building the business was documented on the podcast Startup, which included the back-and-forth over how the company got its name: Gimlet. Many more successful podcasts followed, and five years after launch, Gimlet sold to Spotify for roughly $200 million. PLUS in our postscript "How You Built That," after years of researching how women's shoes wreak havoc on the joints, Casey Kerrigan quit her job in medicine to start 3D printing more comfortable designs: Oesh Shoes.

Ep.16 - Ain't Nobody Got Time for Podcasts Under 12 Tim and Kyle introduce you to Kidcasts and how producing podcasts for children between 6-12 might be the opportunity you're overlooking. Episode at a Glance: Tim and Kyle explore the Kidcast podcasting landscape for a growing audience of younger listeners. We touch on marketing to children and why it's a sensitive topic with regards to Kidcast monetization. We end by talking about the potential Kids Education - Smart Kids What did we learn? Both Kyle and Tim agree that there are not enough Kidscasts. Kyle talks about how Kidcasts are still a Blue Ocean when it comes to your podcast production strategy. We find out how many Kidcasts are educational and well-produced to keep children engaged. Kyle raves about Gimlet's Story Pirates and why that show's format and marketing strategy is something to pay attention to. The myth that kids have short attention spans when it comes to kidcasts is just that -- a myth. Sponsors can monetize a kidcast podcast, but it needs to be monitored by both producers and parents. Disney Kidcasts have yet to gain traction but could become a strong competitor in the children podcasting space over the next year. Tim points out that your first two (2) listens will be the parents. If it's good? Your next 100 listens will be super loyal kids! Kyle and Tim both think that Kidcasts could be one of the genres that is a natural fit for podcasting paywalls (which is something that Disney is already considering). Tim sees Disney as the high-quality mark in Kidcasts. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Kidcasts make up the majority of the market for children podcasting right now. There are 1.6-million home-schooled students that could benefit from fitting remote teaching into their lesson plans by leveraging STEM Kidcast podcasts. We touch briefly on where smart speakers fit into the Kidcast podcast equation. Additional Reading: Where Are All the Kidcasts?

Hey, it’s Stiles from Brand Content Studios and here’s your Content Marketing Quickie for the week of March 18, 2019   -Do you know when the first email was sent? 1971! 1971! The top song was Three Dog Night’s Joy to the World, you know, the Jeremiah was a bullfrog song? The highest grossing film was Fiddler on the Roof. On TV we were watching the then highly controversial political fights between Archie and Meathead on All in the Family. They think that in 2018, 124.5B emails went out. And yep, emails are content. Or at least what you put in them is content. So it’s worth knowing how to do it right and things like the Email Marketing Survey Summary Report help because their research gives us some insights, or at least some things to debate. The first thing they found out is engagement and improving brand awareness is the main thing companies want out of their email campaigns. Nobody likes to see low opens and click rates. And you’re never going to up your engagement unless you learn what your target audience likes and wants. It’s actually amazing how little companies know about who they’re selling to or care what kind of content they like to get. Next, most marketers think a mix of personal messages and one topic emails are most effective. By the way, only 17% think plain-text emails work. 64% of marketers say the effectiveness of their emails is improving moderately. It’s almost like you shouldn’t believe those “Is email dead” thought leadership pieces. Lastly, companies appreciate that when it comes to email, they can mostly handle that in-house, 39% use in-house people only. Now when they get all fancy schmancy and pursue the personalization and machine learning automation whiz bang, that’s when they reach out for some specialists. As always, our take is you can build the machine and the data can be right and your targeting can be on point…but if your content isn’t worthwhile, all that’s for nothing. Stop making what kind of show you’re going to put on the last thing you think about.   -Well it’s been about a month since Spotify said surprise! We’re spending over $300M to buy Gimlet Media and Anchor, cause we’re getting big into podcasting. And then we all went, “Okay but why?” And then they didn’t say anything, and we kept saying, “No really, why did you spend $300M on podcasting?” But answers are starting to trickle out, apparently there’s a plan. And the plan is essentially to cover bases and hedge bets. Spotify’s CEO, Daniel Ek and Gimlet’s founders Alex Blumberg and Matt Lieber have been making at least some public comments about the plan. First, what’s Spotify going to do with a high-quality podcast producer like Gimlet and an app that makes it super easy for any Joe to make low quality podcasts like Anchor? First of all those brands apparently aren’t going away, they won’t get swallowed up by the Spotify brand. Courtney Holt, Spotify’s head of studio and video, says it’s like Pixar and Marvel being owned by Disney. They’re still their own powerful brands. Is it? Is Gimlet and Anchor really like Pixar and Marvel? Here’s what Spotify knows, there IS money in podcasting, an expected $659M in ad revenue by 2020. So here’s what we’re going to do, we’re going to be the primary place people go for podcasts, and we’re going to have podcasts you can only get on Spotify. Like Netflix does with movies and TV. We’re also going to be the main way people discover new podcasts cause our algorithm we did for music is that awesome. Maybe you, like I, have listened to a song on Spotify’s Discover Weekly and thought to yourself, “Why in God’s name do they think I’d like this song?” Well they’re gonna do that for podcasts. Like Netflix does with movies and TV. Holt says their algorithm is “pretty darn good.” Hey, watch the language, I checked clean content on my show description settings! Spotify’s CFO says they’ll invest in podcast content and that will increasingly be exclusive. But Gimlet’s Blumberg says well, our existing shows will stay available everywhere. Now, about Anchor. They don’t know. What do you want? They don’t know. Spotify says maybe exclusive originals will work best, but maybe user-generated shows will work best. So they’re exploring both. https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/5/18243729/spotify-podcast-strategy-gimlet-media-anchor-purchase   -The expectations are pretty high for those who use tech, including content technology, to sell tech tools. I mean they should know how to kill it right? The Technology Content Marketing 2019 report tells us how they’re doing. First, 75% say their content marketing’s working better than a year ago. So there’s that. But what, if anything, are they struggling with?  Here’s the thing about the answer, which I will give you here in a sec, stay in the car. There’s not a lot of difference between the struggle named by those who are top performers and those who aren’t. Which means it’s a real and sticky problem. And that problem is creating content that appeals to the different multiple roles that are involved in buying decisions. Everybody cares about something different. There was actually only one other thing where there wasn’t that much difference between top performers and the others. They both pretty much say they care a lot about making content designed to build customer loyalty. Still, only 53% of tech marketers and 73% of top performers said they did that more successfully than the previous year. Success for early funnel goals – brand awareness, lead gen, and education, that’s what’s growing. For those that did better, what exactly did they do better? They covered more stages of the buyer journey. Only 62% of tech marketers overall said they cover all those bases well. How do they research what the audience wants? 80% actually listens to what their sales team tells them. 71% look at their website analytics. And get this, 55% actually, and I know this is weird, ask their customers. Email’s huge, 92% use it to nurture prospects. 64% reported using video more often compared to last year. But check this out, just as many say they did more written content like blog posts too. 37% even increased their use of audio. Getting back to the expectation tech companies should be better at marketing tech than the average bears, it’s true, they are. 36% say their proficiency with content marketing tech is at expert level while only 24% of regular enterprise marketers would say that. Get your shopping cart ready, there’s a sale on smarty pants! https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2019/03/tech-content-marketers-research/   That’s the Content Marketing Quickie for this week. If you thought it was worth the time you gave it and it made you think about stuff after you listened, it’d be great if you subscribed. I promise, you will not make me rich. We’ll see what happens next week.

In the Gimlet interview: "We didn't leak the story, I don't know who did"; Blumberg and Lieber's interactions with Gimlet staff since Recode's scoop on Friday; why the acquisition makes sense; how Spotify became a distribution partner and when acquisition talks started; could Gimlet have remained independent?; how much did Blumberg and Lieber's ability to personally profit influence the decision to sell?; listeners who invested in Gimlet's crowdfunding seed round will see a return; will Gimlet's existing shows become Spotify exclusives? And in the Murray interview: Fortune's acquisition and the end of Time Inc.; why it's hard to destroy legacy media brands; why it would be a problem if Time Magazine owner Marc Benioff had also bought Fortune; who is Fortune's new owner, Chatchaval Jiaravanon?; the "death sentence" of working with its old owner, Time Warner; how has Fortune changed since Jiaravanon bought it?; developing and scaling up live events to make them both accessible and valuable; advertising-supported businesses and Fortune's competitors; Murray's background at the Wall Street Journal and why Rupert Murdoch is "the best thing that could have happened" to the paper; developing the WSJ's ultimately unsuccessful iPad app, The Daily; President Trump's lies and attacks on journalism; and and how other media outlets are alienating his supporters.

Alex Blumberg and Matt Lieber, the founders of podcasting network Gimlet, talk with Recode's Peter Kafka about trying to create the "HBO of audio." Gimlet's first show was StartUp, a podcast about the creation of Gimlet itself that exposed the "myth of being an entrepreneur" — although entrepreneurs might say things are always going great, the reality is that everything always feels like it's "about to break," Lieber says. The founders also talk about how Gimlet is expanding beyond its slate of original shows into TV, movies and special branded podcasts that are entirely underwritten by one advertiser. Through that process, they've learned the importance of educating those sponsor about the need for "emotional honesty" in podcasting and why Gimlet is especially well-positioned to pitch new shows in Hollywood.

It's podcast field trip week, as we visit Gimlet Media's Brooklyn headquarters to chat with the podcast company's co-founder and president, Matt Lieber. We talk about the original intent of Gimlet and whether it's remained on that same path, plus we cover a wide range of trends in podcasting, such as scripted fiction and the growing involvement of brands. Our theme music is by Home. This episode was produced by Aneya Fernando and edited by Lane McGiboney. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Gimlet co-founders Alex Blumberg and Matt Lieber are pretty much on the same page… right?  This week, we put their relationship to the test. Producer Luke Malone got Matt and Alex into separate studios and asked them the same set of questions. Then, Matt and Alex listened back to each other’s answers and find out if they’re really as in sync as they thought. Do the same things keep them up at night? Do they want the same things for the company? And what were their first impressions of one another?  To find a list of our sponsors and show-related promo codes, go to gimlet.media/oursponsors

In honor of the release of the TV show Alex, Inc., we’re binge dropping episodes of StartUp—the podcast that started it all—along with brand-new after shows. These are the best episodes about Gimlet, as chosen by our listeners. The second is: How to Divide an Imaginary Pie. Alex decides that he can't build the company by himself, so he links up with co-founder Matt Lieber. But before Alex and Matt can lock in their partnership, they need to discuss one pesky little detail… equity. In the after show, Alex takes a listener call and they discuss the tricky business of splitting equity. For a list of our sponsors and show related offer codes, go to gimlet.media/OurAdvertisers

Por lo tanto, lo ven como un valor añadido para promover el crecimiento y la visibilidad. Además de ofrecer un espacio para conectar a podcasters, profesionales, profesionalizados, amateurs y oyentes, estas JPOD buscan facilitar el acceso del podcast al negocio. Tienen la intención de abrir un espacio para que ambos puedan crear sinergias. Las JPOD18 tendrán un nuevo formato.

El jueves 1 de febrero, tuvimos la premiere del documental sobre Danny Peña del podcast 'Gamertag Radio'. La presentación fue durante el Meet Up de los Podcasters Latinos del Sur de la Florida en Miami. 'Gamertag Radio' lleva trece años produciéndose y se transmite dos veces a la semana. Tiene una comunidad de seguidores tan grande que ahora es parte de la cadena CBS. Danny es considerado uno de los principales "influencers" de la comunidad de video gamers en Estados Unidos. Casi todos los meses compañías que producen video juegos (como Microsoft y otras) le pagan pasajes, hoteles de primera para que esté presente en el lanzamiento de sus productos. Es inspirador ver el origen humilde de Danny, un dominicano, con pasión por los video juegos y el podcasting. El documental 'Gamertag Radio' nos enseñó las siguientes lecciones de podcasting: Sin pasión por un tema no podemos hacer un podcast. La persistencia es la clave para lograr nuestros sueños. Construir comunidad es lo más importante en el podcasting. Enfocarnos en ayudar a los demás es una de las cosas que distingue a los podcasters exitosos. Nuestros valores nos ayudan a que otros quieran colaborar con nosotros. ↳ Vía Podcast felicita a Danny Peña quien estará en Santo Domingo la semana próxima presentando este nuevo documental con subtítulos en castellano. Danny anunció que ‘Twitch’ de Amazon lo transmitirá próximamente y que posteriormente estará disponible en YouTube. La red de podcasts Gimlet Media lanza división de cine y televisión.

Happy Valentine’s Day! This holiday has everything to do with relationships. And there’s one type of relationship that we talk about a lot on this show: co-founders. In the spirit of the day, we’re bringing back one of our favorite episodes with the co-founders of Gimlet Media.

He is the president of Gimlet, which produces popular podcasts like Reply All, Surprisingly Awesome, and Startup, the company's first show, which also documented Gimlet's own launch. Adam asks Matt to share what it was like to go through that experience, with so many people learning so many intimate details on the show. Matt also charts his career journey, from unexpectedly reporting on 9/11, to becoming a public radio producer, taking a turn into business school and consulting, then returning to audio with Gimlet. He  explains why he is confident in the future of podcasting, and reveals the factors he believes contribute to audience growth. Finally, he talks about the company's Gimlet Creative brand studio, and what it takes to get audiences to listen to branded podcasts.This episode is sponsored by Hired and Podcast Movement.

In this interview, guest-host Vanessa Ishii (from Stitcher Radio) and Matt Lieber (co-founder of Gimlet Media) explore the world of storytelling, the power of audio, and what role podcasts will play in the future.

Matt Lieber is cofounder and President of Gimlet Media. In a previous life, Matt produced radio shows (On Point, Fair Game) and podcasts (Slate Culture Gabfest). He also worked as a management consultant at The Boston Consulting Group, where he focused on media and digital business. Then he chucked it all for Gimlet. He holds an MBA from MIT Sloan.  In Today's Show You Will Learn: 1.) Matt reveals the origins of Gimlet? 2.) What were the dilemmas for Matt in raising Gimlet's round? What determinant made Matt realize raising was right? What advice would Matt give to founders who are unsure if they should raise or not? 3.) One of the main concerns with raising suggested by Alex Blumberg was that the company would feel like a totally different company, and by different ‘I mean worse’, to quote Alex. So how can a Founder maintain company culture as they grow excessively? 4.) Why did Matt decide to play it cool and not announce to VCs Gimlet were raising? Did Matt expect to get a term sheet as quickly and easily as he did? Were there any hiccups to the funding process? Were Gimlet tempted by any other offers? What value add about Tim O'Reilly made Gimlet most attracted to him? 5.) Question from Matt Hartman at Betaworks: How does Gimlet decide which new shows to create? Is it about creating new shows for an overlapping audience or to expanding audience demographics?? 6.) Where does Matt see the future of podcasting going? Many do not believe in it’s potential to be a big business, what does Matt say? What are the challenges, what needs to happen to combat them?
