The Rose & Rockstar: Short Measures and Podcast Lessons

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic.

This week, following a discussion about alcohol measures in Scotland, Ian asks Robert about lessons from his successful podcast and if he’d start This Old Marketing today. Some of the things they discussed:

• Building an audience before launching a podcast

• Video offers better discoverability than audio alone

• The intimacy of audio creates a strong connection with listeners

• Marketing a podcast requires effort beyond just creating content

• Discoverability is essential for growing a podcast audience

Do you have a question for the bar? Or maybe an opinion on what we’ve discussed? Please get in touch - just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.

Enjoy!
