WHY GO TO THIS SEMINAR?

In 2021, podcasting will become a billion-dollar industry. The proliferation of shows, platforms, investments from large companies like Listnr, Audible and Spotify, and the rise of smart speakers and smartphones has seen audience numbers increasing at an impressive rate.

No longer is podcasting the realm of the enthusiastic hobbyist. There are serious dollars to be made by companies and large audiences to be reached by brands and creators. During this session, you will discover how to understand your audience at a deeper level and create viable content to connect with brands and audiences.

If you are already working in the space but want to learn how to leverage what you do into a career or a business, or if you work in another field and are just curious about the industry, this seminar will give you loads of vital information and inspiration.
