How to make a podcast for your company?
Part of the popularity of the podcast comes from the fact that anyone can create one, because of the ease of production required today. But, first of all, the first thing to think about when thinking about a podcast is the message you want to convey. What are we going to talk about? Of services, of a product or of a particular brand?
On the other hand, who are we going to address? Are they customers, employees, subject matter experts, the general public? Finally, what format are we going to use? For the general public, elements can be taken from journalistic genres, such as an interview with a guest or a chronicle.
For employees, storytelling and fiction formats can be adopted to dramatize business situations, sales, complaints handling, etc.
