Podcasts- A Record of Inspiring Conversations
Podcasting was not something India ventured into intentionally. A gifted writer, however, India did not enjoy the process of writing, but her role demanded her to summarize guest interviews into blog posts. While she was interviewing her friend, she thought about recording it. That is when she realized she had just done a podcast! It later went on to get five stars on major podcasting platforms. They talked about diversity, equity, inclusion, life, and navigating the ethical marketplace and business on the show. Later, they transitioned to a secondary podcast called Flaunt Your Fire, where they dive into branding, visibility, and marketing topics.
"Everything transpires in the way that we all hope, which is that our podcasts grow when we reach more people. It becomes more and more complicated to double back on some of the decisions that we've made, that may be misaligned with our values if we didn't ask ourselves that from the beginning."
Podcasts- Why Should You Define Your Brand?
A brand isn't just about the visual aspects of your business or venture. It's also about reputation. Your brand's visuals help determine the public reputation of your podcast or host. It can help set you apart from the rest. Although you could begin to influence your audience with the colors, the logo, the podcast cover art, and the like, you can also decide how you show up in front of the camera and create a reputation around that. The foundation before getting to design is asking ourselves the intention and value that brought us up there.
"Ultimately, that description, that reputation, what is said IS THE BRAND."
