Marketers = the greatest multitaskers.
We have the innate ability to simultaneously communicate to clients and coworkers, track and analyze data, develop campaigns, and a million other things all in the same breath.
So how can marketers improve their already inspiring efficiency?
Podcasts.
Podcasts are like a powerful combination of audiobooks and informative talk radio, bringing you the new information you’re looking for from an entertaining and trusted host. They can either be quick bites of knowledge or hours of particulars, depending on what you’re looking for. You can listen to them on your own time and at your own pace; during your commute, while you’re at the gym, on your lunch break, in the shower.
While there is an entire universe dedicated to podcasting (my personal favorite being the true crime universe #mfm), we’re going to focus on the podcasts that can improve you as a B2B marketer.
In this post, I’ve compiled a list of the 11 best marketing podcasts that are current and consistent in the sharing of their wealth of information.
