Ten or so years ago, podcasts were just a blip on the average marketer’s radar. Although the medium existed, it certainly wasn’t as common or as popular as it is today. In fact, 48 million Americans listened to podcasts weekly in 2018—that’s 6 million more weekly listeners than there were just a year ago ( source ). Given its rising popularity, podcasting is now an avenue marketers can explore to publish more branded content and reach new audiences.

Often, HR departments hire reactively— meaning they only seek to fill positions as they open up. Talent mapping, on the other hand, is a proactive approach used to forecast long-term hiring needs and subsequently cultivate organizational support for new roles over time. Essentially, talent mapping bridges the gap between a company’s goals and the personnel they must hire to reach them.

What you say and how you say it matters. Brands love to talk about voice, but a lot of them end up sounding the same. Every company wants to serve the customer and be conversational—which is fine. Those aren’t bad things, but they’re not differentiators anymore. They’re just table stakes. If your team feels stuck talking in circles about brand voice , you can avoid arguing about tone and POV by playing a few brainstorming games.
