Looking to expand your marketing knowledge and skillset? These awesome marketing podcasts will surely get you there!
Hey there, fellow marketer!
I know you are quite busy. As a marketer myself, I can understand that a day in the life of a marketer involves putting out fires left and right!
Creating content for the company newsletter, maintaining the quarterly digital spend, reviewing the ad copy for Facebook, etc are just a few of the tasks we carry out on a day-to-day basis. However, we wouldn’t be doing it if didn’t love, right??
Well, I can safely assume that the marketers or business people reading this blog love what they do and are constantly looking out for new ways to reach audiences.
Marketing in this digital era is all about speed and productivity. You have to allocate every minute of your time and make sure you are on top of your game 24×7. This means learning new skills, tactics, strategies, and staying on top of trends.
But with your tightly packed marketing schedule, it’s difficult to stay on top of all the latest trends and learn new strategies to grow your business. Well, this is where marketing podcasts come in.
Top 10 Marketing Podcasts Every Marketer Must listen to!
Podcasts aren’t just great. They are insanely awesome! Why? Well for starters… podcasts are portable.
That’s right; since they are essentially audio files, you can take and listen to them anywhere – while you’re taking your morning shower, during your commute to work, over your lunch break, or at the gym!
Unlike when you are reading a blog post, ebook, or watching a video, you don’t have to dedicate 100% of your time and attention to consume a podcast. You can multi-task!
Perhaps that’s why podcasts are so successful. A whopping 26% of Americans (73 million) listen to podcasts at least every month – and one-third of Americans ages 25 to 54 listen to podcasts monthly!
Those are some serious numbers that continue to grow every single year. Oh and just to give you some context, only 24 percent of Americans use Spotify monthly! Podcasts are way too popular than one might think!
Now for the big question…
There are over 2 million podcasts out there. How the heck do you choose which podcast is worth your valuable time?
Well, you’re in luck. We’ve put together a list of 10 of the BEST marketing podcasts for your listening enjoyment!
