Putting the focus on your podcast audience is key in podcast growth. This can mean doing a variety of things to hone in on, such as visualizing your audience, joining a podcast network, or create a media kit for advertisements that really match your listeners. Luckily, we’ve released a new feature for the Blubrry community, podcast media kits. Join Todd and our new marketing team member, Chau, as they chat about our new tool, podcast ad frequency and more.

Thanks for joining us on this episode of Podcast Insider. Looking to be a guest on the show? Let us know. Emails are listed at the bottom of show notes.
