    The Power of Simulcasting

    The Power of Simulcasting

    “If you talk to a lot of younger folks, they say, ‘Yeah, I’ve been watching that podcast.’ They don’t say listening. If you notice, ‘Oh yeah, I watched that the other day.” They don’t say listened.”
    The increasing overlap between audio and video is a constant conversation we have on The Podcast Advertising Playbook, but our guest today provides new insight. Craig Jordan, SVP of Podcasts & Brand Partnerships at Studio71, peels back to the curtain to reveal what's really happening in the video world. 
    Tune in to hear him and Heather discuss: 

    The current state of simulcasting 

    The importance of intentional listening in podcasting 

    Secrets to a successful advertising campaign 

    The future of direct results in podcast advertising 

    Why video attribution is the biggest thing missing from the industry
