Why Podcasting?

Podcasting is more than just a conversation—it’s a business asset. A well-planned podcast can position a brand as a thought leader, build trust with audiences, and create lasting marketing value. But too many businesses jump into podcasting without a strategy, leading to wasted time and underwhelming results.

That’s where we come in. We help B2B companies strategically develop, launch, and grow podcasts that align with their brand, business goals, and marketing efforts—so they’re not just creating content, they’re building influence and generating real ROI.

Our Approach

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether we’re helping businesses launch a branded podcast, produce and analyze their podcast, develop a guesting strategy, or integrate podcasting into a larger marketing plan, we focus on:

Clarity & Strategy – Every podcast must serve a purpose and fit into a broader marketing framework.

Brand-First Thinking – A podcast should feel like a natural extension of your company’s brand identity.

Smart Storytelling – Engaging, high-value content that positions you as an authority in your industry.

Sustainable Growth – Long-term podcast success requires more than just recording episodes—it needs strategy, optimization, analysis, and promotion.

About Kelly Smith

Founder of Podcat Creative. I’ve been immersed in the podcasting world for 13 years—co-hosting Geek Girl Soup since 2012 just for fun, using podcasts to grow my own business, guesting on other podcasts, speaking at podcasting conferences, publishing an Amazon #1 bestselling book on podcasting, and even teaching a course on podcasting.

And through it all, I’ve always had a purring podcat sitting next to me while I record.
