In the 11+ years that Podcast Movement has been in existence, one of the moving targets that we’re always asked about by podcasters is how to grow their show. And one of the most consistent answers that experts give is the use of audio promos. So we’re excited that one of this year’s keynotes will focus on just that:
In the bustling marketplace of podcasting, creating a captivating show is just half the battle. Today, the real challenge lies in effective marketing, yet many show producers focus on the creativity of their content while treating promos as an afterthought. Join Lauren Vetrano of Cumulus Media, Pierre Bouvard of Cumulus Media, and Allison O'Toole of british researcher System1 in this session moderated by Amplifi Media's founder and CEO, Steve Goldstein for a keynote that will change your thinking and offer seven actionable takeaways to improve your promos immediately.
They’ll delve into the research-backed cues and the critical role of positive emotion in audio advertising. Discover how the “cost of dull” can hurt your podcast's growth and learn strategies to ensure your promos resonate and captivate. Don’t miss this chance to elevate your podcast’s marketing game and transform your promotional approach!
In addition to this exciting session, we’ve got so many amazing additions to the breakout and panel lineup!
Every summer since 2014, Podcast Movement has gathered thousands of passionate podcasters and industry professionals from around the world under one roof to learn, grow professionally, and most importantly evolve and improve the podcast community.
WE WANT YOU TO BE THERE!
SAVE YOUR SPOT AT THE LOWEST COSTThere are so many things to love about Podcast Movement, and as we mentioned last week, the freedom to choose your own adventure when it comes to the education is a favorite! And this year there will be no lack of choices, as we’ve got five stages going all day, every day, plus three tracks being programmed by top partners!
This track delves into the essential elements of podcasting, encompassing aspects such as creation, monetization, audience expansion, and technical know-how. It's home to valuable sessions for both newcomers and experienced podcasters!
This track explores the evolving world of podcasting from the business perspective, touching on current trends, vital statistics, best practices, and other key elements crucial for those involved in the behind-the-scenes efforts to launch or scale a podcast business.
Podcasting has evolved beyond just audio, with many creators introducing or enhancing their shows through video and AI. This track focuses on everything related to the latest emerging trends and tech for podcasters and for the industry.
These expert-lead presentations and talks are all about bringing attendees the most value during shorter sessions. They take place inside the all-new Industry Connect section of Podcast Movement Central, sharing knowledge for industry professionals, and those looking to learn about the business side of podcasting.
These compact, to-the-point talks are always a hit. Taking place in the middle of the action in Podcast Movement Central, experts will share their knowledge for creators of all skill and experience levels.
Plus tracks from Quill, Ausha, and NPR Podcasts. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more information on their curated sessions!
We were blown away by the number of people who submitted to receive a scholarship to Podcast Movement this August! While we were unable to award scholarships to all applicants, we’re honored to share with you the winners! Please help us in congratulating them.
We’re excited for Podcast Movement to take place this year at one of our favorite venues ever: Gaylord National in National Harbor. The hotel features an amazing atrium, fun restaurants and bars, plus unbeatable views of the harbor.
And National Harbor itself is one of the most walkable places to ever host Podcast Movement, with over 40 restaurants, shopping outlets, water activities, and more, just steps away from the hotel.
But don’t delay, our hotel rooms always sell out, and we’ve negotiated special rates. Book your room today.
Things are taking shape for this summer in DC, and we can’t wait for you to join us!! Until next time…
Grateful,
Team Podcast Movement
