Should I use a business account or personal account for my business? In this episode, Ash and Kane talk about the downsides of business brands and why building your personal (or personality!) brand is far superior. They also discuss why launching a branded podcast isn’t always the marketing opportunity you think it is and what you can do instead!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you are looking to market a company you are working for, launching a branded podcast is not a good idea. A better idea is to use a fraction of your ad budget to sponsor an existing show.
- People buy into personal brands, so it’s easier to build an audience.
- Podcasting allows you to create and craft your call to action, tailoring it specifically to your audience. This leads to a higher conversion rate with ads, sponsorship etc.
