Capitalize on the momentum of podcasts to advance your marketing and communication goals.
More than 700,000 podcasts exist today, and they’re easier to access than ever before. Also, nearly 75% of podcast listeners want to learn something new. This means that podcasting presents an amazing opportunity for marketing and communications professionals in higher education – if you use the medium correctly.
Join us online to learn from Jenna Spinelle at Penn State, who helped launch the podcast “Democracy Works" in 2018. She’ll show you how to choose the right topic for a podcast, decide where it might fit in your content strategy, and gain buy-in. While we won’t cover techniques like audio editing and script writing, you will leave with the tools necessary to pick out the right gear, find content, and promote your episodes.
