Industries that benefit from branded podcasts
If you are in one of these fields, you absolutely need to start a branded podcast.
Branded podcasts in the coaching industry
The coaching business is booming. The U.S. life coaching market alone was valued at $1,469.1 million USD in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.85% from 2023 to 2030. And that’s just life coaching. Of course, there are so many other coaches too including financial coaches, spiritual coaches, and transformational coaches.
But with all these coaches how do you stand out as an authority figure and trustworthy personal brand? This is where a branded podcast can help you.
You have a message, and that message needs to be shared. Through a branded podcast you can inspire your clients in their down time and connect with them on a deeper level. Sharing your coaching expertise can help you build your brand and show you are the real deal by sharing your wisdom in a well-produced audio medium.
Through podcasting you can build your personal branding as a coach that knows how to inspire their clients and get them to where they need to be. A personalised podcast for your coaching brand will not only allow you to empower your listener but also connect with other coaches to build your network.

Podcasting for health and wellness
If any industry can benefit from increasing trust with their audience it is the health and wellness industry. There are so many companies and brands making so many health related promises that your audience might become overwhelmed.
Having a branded podcast can help bring the human back into the health and wellness industry. You can inform your audience by sharing information in a way they understand and in a way they find entertaining. Over time this will help develop trust and form a more intimate bond with your audience who in turn will be more comfortable availing of your products or services.

Podcast for non-profits
If you’re a non-profit charity creating a branded podcast can help you establish trust with a wider audience and ensure they know where their money is going. Connecting with your audience is really important for non-profit organisations as it allows them to see the people behind the business and the difference they are making. In addition to this, every non-profit is going to have a bunch of inspirational stories from volunteers and people they have helped. So why not share those and inspire hope in your listeners.

Knowledge and an ability to apply that knowledge is another key element of being a successful lawyer and your podcast gives you an opportunity to show that you can do this.
You could discuss case studies, listener questions or legal news.

Technology podcasts
If you’re in the technology game branded podcast can help you grow your business. Once again trust in your brand is a huge part of why people will take a chance on your offering.
If your tech has a steep learning curve you can even use your podcast as an opportunity to discuss FAQs or common issues people run into. You could combine this with episodes about exciting innovation in your industry, case studies and/or industry news.
If you offer B2B solutions you can go more in depth into the different industries you serve and where your tech fits in. If you offer B2C services you can use your podcast as an opportunity to reduce barriers to entry and show customers how your tech can integrate into their lives.
Podcasting is particularly beneficial for SaaS where you want to keep your audience engaged long term. Connecting with your audience through podcasting means that the value you provide is more likely to be fresh on their minds when it comes renewing their membership.
