Love podcasts? What if your business had its own? Now it can!
Podcasting isn’t just for influencers and big brands. It’s one of the ways for small businesses to build trust, promote their personal brand and connect with audiences. But for many, it still feels out of reach. What kit do you need? What would you even talk about? And how do you make sure people actually listen?
This special edition, hosted by Debbie Simpson and delivered in partnership with Howell Studios, will answer all of these questions and give you the confidence to make podcasting part of your marketing mix. Whether you want to be a guest on other podcasts, launch your own or take an existing channel to the next level, you’ll leave with practical tips, insider insights and even some hands-on experience in our pop-up podcast studio.
