Why Your B2B Brand Needs a Podcast
Podcasts have emerged as the most powerful medium to engage audiences in a personal and immersive way. For B2B brands, a podcast offers an unparalleled opportunity to share industry insights, expert interviews, and thought leadership content that resonates deeply with listeners. Unlike other forms of content, podcasts allow you to create a direct and intimate connection with your audience, building trust and loyalty over time. By leveraging the growing popularity of podcasts, your B2B brand can enhance its visibility, establish itself as an industry thought leader, and create a community of engaged professionals who turn to your brand for valuable insights and guidance. A podcast is not just a marketing tool; it’s a platform to bring your brand’s voice to life and foster meaningful connections within your industry.

The Success of "Infernal Communication" by Staffbase
JAR Audio’s collaboration with Staffbase on the podcast “Infernal Communication” has been a remarkable success, significantly boosting brand awareness and audience engagement in North America. Faced with the challenge of low brand recognition in this region, Staffbase sought a unique approach to connect with communications professionals on a personal and authentic level. The solution was a 12-episode, narrative podcast infused with comedy and high production value, effectively setting it apart from other industry podcasts. “Infernal Communication” not only entertained but also provided valuable insights, resonating deeply with its audience. With an average consumption rate of 90% (well above the industry average of 60%) and achieving over 63,000 downloads in its first season, the podcast far exceeded its download targets. It also ranked impressively in podcast charts, including #3 in Canadian Careers podcasts and #73 in US Careers podcasts. This innovative approach earned “Infernal Communication” the 2023 Hermes Creative Award, solidifying JAR Audio’s expertise in creating engaging, impactful B2B podcasts that drive brand success.
