Do Companies Need A Branded Podcast? Featuring Graham Brown

Do Companies Need A Branded Podcast? Featuring Graham Brown

"I have to confess, it would be great to do a true crime or a history podcast, but I found my niche in corporate podcasts, and here's why." Graham Brown, Founder and CEO if Pikkal.

I am fascinated by internal company podcasts and how corporate companies are taking advantage of audio to distribute communications to their employees. I have been following Graham Brown, Founder, and CEO of Pikkal, a corporate podcast agency in Singapore, for quite some time, so I invited him to talk to me about the work he does and find out how companies benefit from branded podcasts.

 

"There's a big group of corporate people who have a significant need. It's not a content problem; it's a communications issue. So how do they speak authentically and communicate like humans? When you put it in the corporate context, a lot of that can be lost and obscured by the parameters of how companies traditionally communicate, through white papers or press releases or through the lens of coms, which tends to edit everything."

 

Graham and I discuss options for advertising and why corporate podcasts are a global phenomenon. We also talk about some of the challenges Graham sees the industry facing and how we should look differently at the data we currently get from podcasts. (Which was so interesting).
