Podcast: brands’ mistakes when creating a Podcast

In short

  • Creating a podcast without standing out or defining a clear objective can limit its impact for the brand.
  • The content strategy should avoid generic topics and include structure and storytelling to connect with the audience.
  • SEO, distribution and content value matter more than focusing solely on technical production.

Are you a brand considering creating a podcast to improve your reach, reputation and brand awareness?

Here I explain the 6 most common mistakes when creating a podcast as a brand:

  1. Not being different: another podcast inviting influencers to talk about their lives?
  2. Not defining a clear objective  Launching a podcast “because it’s trendy” without knowing whether the aim is to build a community, attract leads, strengthen branding or educate the audience.
  3. Neglecting the content strategy  Discussing overly generic topics, without structure or storytelling, means the podcast fails to stand out and eventually becomes irrelevant.
  4. Not thinking about SEO or distribution  Uploading the audio and waiting for people to find it on their own. Without optimizing titles, descriptions and keywords or having a distribution strategy across social media, newsletters or the website. This also includes internal linking, such as: best marketing podcasts.
  5. Giving more importance to technical production than to the value of the content  Expensive microphones, jingles and perfect editing… but no useful ideas or messages that connect with the audience.
