Panel 1: The ROI of Branded Podcasts

Podcasts can drive all kinds of brand success. Studies have shown they can generate up to an 89% uplift in brand awareness, 57% in brand consideration, and 24% in favorability. A podcast can help brands own their voice in the market, reach new targets and more. The value that original podcasting can drive is vast and largely uncharted territory. So how do brands measure the return on investment? From generating new leads and driving sales, to helping with recruitment and employee engagement, there are many different ways podcasting can breed business success. This session will dive beyond downloads to explore ways to measure the success of your show.
