The Insider’s Guide to Podcasting: Visibility, Authority & Engagement.

Making your brand stand out in a crowded marketplace can feel like an uphill battle, one in which traditional PR tactics often struggle to create genuine engagement. That’s where podcasts come in. They’re one of the most powerful – and still often underutilised – tools in modern PR.

In recent years podcasts have become a game-changer for connecting with the right audience, building credibility, and positioning business leaders as trusted experts.

From improving visibility to providing a platform for authentic storytelling, podcasts offer a unique opportunity to break through the noise and engage directly with your audience in a way that traditional media often can’t. When used strategically, podcasts can amplify your message, create lasting connections, and highlight authority in a way that builds trust with your audience.

Getting the most from guest spots

One of the best ways we use podcasts to help build your brand is through guest appearances. When done right, being a guest on the right podcast can place you in front of a highly targeted and engaged audience that’s already interested in the topics you’re discussing.

Here’s how my team approaches this for our clients:

While it’s absolutely possible to manage this process yourself, getting PR support ensures you’re targeting the right podcasts, crafting a strong pitch, and making the most of every interview opportunity – ultimately positioning you as a respected voice.

Launching your own podcast

While guest appearances can be a great way to gain visibility, launching your own podcast can be a powerful way to directly engage your audience and build a loyal following. If you’re considering launching your own podcast, here are some best practices I recommend:

Build authority and cut through the noise

In a world flooded with content, authenticity is the currency of credibility. Podcasts provide an unmatched platform for brands and business leaders to share stories, offer insights, and engage with their audience on a deeper level. Unlike traditional media, podcasts allow for long-form, nuanced conversations that truly showcase expertise, build trust, and foster genuine connections.

As a PR professional who has helped countless clients harness the power of podcasts – and launched one myself – I’ve seen first-hand how they can cut through the noise of today’s crowded media landscape. Podcasts offer a unique opportunity to build visibility, credibility, and genuine engagement with the right audience. If you haven’t explored this medium yet, now is the perfect time to start.
